Heteranthera zosteraefolia AKA stargrass Grade a-B

2-6 Aquatic Plant Heterantha zosterfolia stargrass

Heteranthera zosterifolia is an extremely beautiful plant which forms a lot of side shoots and thus quickly forms a bushy plant group. In strong light growth is intensive, and the plant must be pruned before it becomes so compact that no light reaches the lower leaves. Water roots often form on the stem. In open aquariums it forms small blue flowers if some shoots are allowed to spread on the surface.

Hornwort ( Coonstail )

ab Hornwort ( Coonstail )

Ceratophyllum demersum has whirled leaves which are densely crowded at the apex of beautifully branched stems, whereas inter-nodes may exceed 3 cm in length at the base of older stems. Ceratophyllum demersum is an obligate, submerged perennial plant which does not form roots. In Nature it is usually found buried in sandy to silty sediments where it anchors itself by modified leaves. Ceratophyllum demersum often forms monospecific populations and is found down to 10m depth as individual very slow-growing plants. In the aquarium, on the other hand, it prefers relatively high light, and it does not tolerate transportation for extended periods. It excretes substances toxic to algae (allelopathic behaviour) and under good growth conditions, it efficiently inhibits most algae growth. It is also a great plant for brackish tanks and will tolerate a certain amount of salinity.

Limnophia aromatica RARE

Limnophia aromatica

There are several varieties of this plant. The variety grown by Tropica is said to come from Malaysia. It is characterised by its narrow green leaves, which are purple underneath. Like most other red plants, the colour depends on a supply of intensive light. CO2 addition promotes growth significantly, and it also thrives in hard water. Limnophilla aromatica is easy to propagate by cuttings.

Limnophia aromatica produces a distinct smell from this plants stem. Will also flower.

Quite rare plant that is similar to eustralis stellata.

Ludwigia arcuata (Needle leaf Ludwigia )

Aqua plant Ludwigia arcuata

Ludwigia arcuatais a beautiful plant most suitable for open aquaria where it willingly grows above the water. The emergent leaves are much smaller than the larger lanceolate and opposed aquatic leaves. The stem and the leaves are in both cases reddish coloured though most intensively in the emergent form. It often flowers with small golden-yellow flowersand it is easily propagated from the seeds as well asfrom cuttings. Ludwigia arcuata shows a strong seasonal rhythm and the lower leaves are shed during the winter. Also, cuttings root very poorly during wintertime. The plant prefers a rather rich substrate to grow optimally - a mixture of unwashed sand and mud/clay inthe ratio of 10:1 is fine. Ludwigia arcuata requires high light whereas water hardness does not seem to make much difference in plant performance.
