This is a single lose plant grown submerged.
 
These are starting to wake up now :)
We started 2 NEW ranges -
1. Submerged - plants we cultivate submerged and are sold in bundles as orders are received. (all other plants are cultivated emersed)
 
2. Budget range - this is emersed cultivated plants from our own farm (these plants are grown in near 100% humidity, to ensure fast adjustment to your aquarium conditions)
 
THIS IS FOR A SUBMERGED plant
 
Do you want a plants that required little or no pruning and lower light tolerance, so you could easily manage nutrient dosing, even while you are away.
You have the ABBCF of aquarium plant to choose from:
Anubias
Bolbitis
Buce
Cryptocoryne’s and
 Fern types
 
Most Crypt’s are low light tolerant, slow growing and with many varieties available, would provide ideal foreground, midground and background interest with pleasing blends of colours, forms and textures.
Most Crypt’s are really easy to keep.
This is one of my top 3 crypto’s that regularly available !!!!!
Their interesting leaf shape and form, combined with their hardiness, make them a great background plant. With their dark or bright green reed-like leaves sway gently in the current, offering cozy hiding spots for fish to play in. The plant’s short stems produce long, thin leaves that make a great contrast to hardscape materials. Balansae plants thrive in an environment that is rich with nitrate, phosphate, iron, CO2, and calcium. Calcium supplement is highly recommended, as the plant’s leaves will grow twisted and deformed without it.
To achieve the attractive puckering or ruffled effect of the balansae plant’s leaves, you would need to ensure moderate lighting, it will grow under low lighting but not so beautiful as under moderate lighting.
 
Some notes:
Cryptocoryne prefer not to be moved once planted. If possible, do not move them!
Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot AND remove the cotton surrounding the roots, then plant your plant into the substrate.
LEAF melting initially, is normal when you plant them, new adjusted leaves will soon form. Be patient. As long as your roots are healthy you are OK.
Hardy species can be planted in inert soil like cilice sand but then experts say, you need to add some root tablets for the best growth.
In an experiment (starting 2011) I took Cryptocoryne wendtii and planted it in a low light, low flow, low bio mass aquarium without root tabs or extra plant food. I left them there and only fed the fish. Today 2021 these crypt’s are still in that aquarium and still ok, but they never thrived. This was just to see what the minimum survival possibility was and I found out that these Crypt’s are very hardy. NOW I am not saying all Crypt’s would have survived but I can honestly say most Crypt’s need you to make massive mistakes to kill them.
