Product Overview

Genus: Echinodorus Family: Alismataceae

The plants from this genus are generally called sword plants or burhead, majority distributed in South America and a few in Northern counterpart. Majority of the species from Amazon basin, hence they are popularly called Amazon sword plants. Echinodorus means horned skin, a reference to beaked fruits of the plants. E. sp ‘Bleherae’ once had dominated in the aquarium trade due to its easiness in maintaining any aquarium tank. However, when late Takashi Amano floated the idea of Nature Aquariums through his masterpieces in early 2000 AD, hobbyists from across the world started using plants from other genera to create Nature Aquariums which more or less mimic the nature. Many species of this genus are bigger in size and not suitable for small tanks intended for Nature Aquariums. Echinodorus tennelus still popular as it can be used for carpet formation in the foreground settings in nano tanks.

“Meta” is a still new, splendidly coloured form of Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata with only moderate requirements. It was brought from the Departamento del Meta in central Colombia a few years ago. At the moment it is still a rarity. In its underwater form, this plant is very similar to Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata “Pantanal”, with whorled, narrow leaves that turn bright red to orange in bright light. “Meta”, however, is easier to grow, comparable to L. inclinata var. verticillata ‘Cuba’.

Genus: Proserpinaca Family: Halograceae ? Commonly called mermaid weed from watermilfoil family Halograceae to which another genus belongs, the very popular Myriophyllum. The genus Proserpinaca,? is a small one comprising only 2 or 3 species which are ?native to eastern North America and West Indies.? This genus can be easily distinguished from Myriophyllum by having only 3 stamens and 3 carpels per flower while? ?the latter having 4 or 8 Proserpinaca palustris A very beautiful plant which can adapt to terrestrial as well as underwater life. The leaves of emergent ones are elliptical, green and with serrated margins. When grow underwater, the leaf colour will become yellowish brown to pink and the leaf margin develops appendage like extensions. This unique shape of the leaves is really stunning and make this plant a popular choice to any hobbyist. This plant is not so demanding and even a novice can try it. However, nutrient addition and CO2 injection are necessary to maintain its vigour. Midground setting is often preferred.

Weight: 0.05 kg Dimensions: 7.5 × 7.5 × 5 cm Light Requirement: Very Bright Plant Difficulty: Medium Plant Type: Stem Packing: TC Cups This cosmopolitan stem plant turns red easier and is smaller than the well-known Ludwigia repens ’Rubin’. Each stalk becomes 2-4 cm wide and 10-30 cm high. The plant willingly creates side shoots, but cutting increases the amount and the plant becomes even denser. The cut-off shoots quickly generate new roots when planted. The plant becomes intensely red and grows better, when placed in light and with added CO2.
