Schismatoglottis prietoi

Schismatoglottis prietoi is a real novelty and an enrichment for aquariums. The plant is a little reminiscent of a small-growing Anubias but has much softer leaves. It can be planted directly into the soil, with a very good rate of propagation. According to initial experiences, this new beauty from the Philippines also grows on roots or stones. It is highly recommended for smaller aquariums such as Nano Cubes. Due to its compact growth and small size, in the near future it will also be used frequently in aquascaping.

Rotala rotundifolia sp Blood Red

The Latin name means “the plant with the round leaves”, but this only applies to the marsh variety, which has circular leaves. Rotala rotundifolia from South-East Asia has 15-30 long stems (2-3 cm wide) and long, narrow leaves. Unlike other Rotala species it is relatively undemanding, although it needs good light to produce red leaves.
It forms side shoots willingly, becoming compact and bushy. This also means that it is hard for light to reach the lower leaves, so the plant should be pruned frequently. Also known as Rotala indica.

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Tropica’

This beautiful variety with the dark, hammered leaves is named after ‘Tropica’. When grown in an open space the leaves will virtually lie on the bottom. It is suitable for small aquariums with leaves from 10-20 cm, and a rosette from 10-20 cm wide. Like most other Sri Lanka Cryptocorynes, it also grows well in hard water.
