ALTERNANTHERA - A popular aquarium plant for its contrasting colour and broad leaves. Alternanthera is a vigorous and robust aquarium plant which tolerates strong water movement. Requires bright lighting.
ANUBIAS - Anubias are very popular aquarium plants because of the beautiful crimped, oval-shaped leaves. Young leaves are a green-brown colour that change to an intense green as they mature. Due to the slow growth rate, and ease of keeping, it is perfectly suited in both small and large aquaria.
LILAEOPSIS - An ideal aquarium foreground plant that forms a mat of narrow, bright green upright leaves. The submerged form has much smaller leaves than the emerged form and is generally a slow-growing plant.
MICRANTHEMUM - This variety grows as a low carpet and is an easy, fast-growing aquarium plant. Regular pruning is advisable for maintaining both strong growth and extending the plant’s life span.
POGOSTEMON - A perfect aquarium foreground plant with compact growth. The roots develop side shoots that result in the plant growing like a carpet. The leaves are beautifully light green in colour and have ornately carved edges.
