Hygrophila pinnatifida

Läs mer: Hygrophila pinnatifida

Hygrophila pinnatifida originates from India. It obtains brown, patched leaves on the surface with a distinctive burgundy colour underneath. It forms multiple horizontal shoots if the top shoots are pinched. This will maintain compact and attractive growth. The horizontal side shoots easily attach to both wood and rocks. Growth is moderate, stems 15-40 cm tall and 10-20 cm wide, and the colour is attractive when planted in small groups with a plain background. Intense lighting ensures compact growth due to the plant’s slow to medium growth rate.

Anubias barteri var.nana ´Gold´

This is another variety of the Dwarf Spear Leaf called ‘Gold’. It was discovered in cultivation at a nursery in Taiwan. After the initial isolation period it took several years to establish a stable stock. With leaves ranging in color from light green to yellow-gold, it is significantly different from the other, darker green types of Anubias. The lighting should not be too weak, as this makes the leaves turn darker.

Origin: Cultivar
Light: medium
Temperature: 22-28°C
Growth rate: very slow
Area: Foreground
Height: up to 8 cm
pH: 5-9
Water hardness: very soft to hard
Co2: 0-10 mg/l
Propagation: rhizome cuttings

Anubias barteri var.nana ´Pinto´

The Pinto´Anubias is a quirk of nature that has been propagated from a normal green population using selection. The light green variegation can be more or less pronounced, so only the most beautiful plants are propagated further in the production plant. This variety is very slow-growing and requires more light than the original green form. Due to its small size, the ‘Pinto‘ makes an attractive addition to Nano Cubes and can be used as „eye-catcher“ in aquascaping. This new plant creates excellent contrast on black lava rock and on dark colored roots.

Origin: Cultivar
Light: medium
Temperature: 22-28°C
Growth rate: very slow
Area: Foreground
Height: up to 8 cm
pH: 5-9
