Cyperus helferi
!
Cyperus helferi is the first Cyperus species to prove truly ideal for the aquarium. Discovered by Holger Windeløv of Tropica Aqurium Plants, Denmark, during an expedition to the Southern part of Thailand South of Ranong, the plant inhabited a small, clear-water stream, being present both in the current itself and along the more placid margin. | Itis very graceful as a solitary plant as well as ingroups. CO2 enrichment enhancesthe growth significantly but in hard water it is liableto develop algae on the oldest leaves. . | ||||

lp Diplidis Diandra 4-6 aquatic plant
!
SALE GRADE A
Didiplis diandra is a delicate and difficult but also very beautiful aquarium plant with opposite leaves in rows of two. In its' natural habitat of Northeast America it occupies the banks of rivers and lakes where it develops bothsubmerged, floating and emergent shoots. It does no tresemble any other aquarium plant, and thus it creates avery conspicuous contrast when planted in groups of 3-5shoots in the foreground or in the middle of the aquarium. On the other hand, they should not be planted too close to each other since the lower leaves are then lost due to light deficiency. As a rule of thumb, D.diandra is offered enough light only when the leaf apex is coloured red. D. diandra prefers a fine-grained substrate and CO2 enrichment of the soft and acid water is absolutely necessary to assure optimum growth. D. diandra maybe reproduced by cuttings. | ||||||
