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
Water hardness: very soft to hard
Co2: 0-10 mg/l
Propagation: rhizome cuttings

Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Kirin’

The new Anubias ‘Kirin’ is a beautiful cultivated form of the dwarf spear leaf. The name Kirin comes from East Asia and describes a dragon-like mythical creature with one or two horns. The skin of this imaginary animal is covered with scales – perhaps a reference to the strongly curled leaf edges. Like all Anubias, this novelty is undemanding in care and particularly hardy. Mounted on stones or roots, the variety ‘Kirin’ is a new highlight for every plant lover!

Origin: Cultivar
Light: medium- little
Temperature: 22 -28°C
Growth rate: very slow
Area: Foreground
Height: 5 – 8 cm
pH: 5-8
Water hardness: very soft to very hard
Co2: 0 – 10mg/L
Propagation: division of the rhizome

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.

Type: Stem
Origin: Asia
Growth rate: Medium
Height: 15 – 30+
Light demand: Low
CO2 : Low

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.
