Summit Pets® Marimo Moss Ball
Marimo, more commonly known as moss balls, make a fun addition to your indoor garden and are a popular feature in aquariums. These aquatic plants are also relatively easy to care for once you know the basics. Light The good news is, marimo balls do not need a lot of light to thrive. "They don't need to be in bright sun since they naturally grow at the bottom of the lakes," says Steinkopf. "They prefer a lower light situation." The algae do not like direct sun and should not be placed near a window, as marimo can quickly turn brown if they are getting too much direct light. Keeping them out of direct sunlight and giving them plenty of low, indirect light should keep them happy. Water Moss balls are aquatic plants, so they must live submerged in cool water, preferably under 77°F. These plants aren't too picky about the type of water; it just has to be freshwater. "I use my tap water, but well water, distilled water, or rainwater would be fine as well," says Steinkopf. For best results, change the water every two weeks and allow the water to sit out for a day beforehand, so chlorine has a chance to evaporate. Also, clean the container with a brush if algae start to grow on the surface. Fertilizer Marimo does not require supplemental fertilizer! These amazing plants make their food through photosynthesis and do not need a nutrient boost to keep them thriving. They are slow-growing, so don't expect them to outgrow their tanks within a year. The plants grow up to 5 millimeters per year and will eventually reach 2 to 5 inches in containers or 8 to 12 inches in natural conditions. Livestock inventory might be off when numbers are low.

Aquatic Plants Sword Amazon (Echinodorus bleheri) (Ring Bunch)
This is another popular plant that appears in aquariums mainly due to its ease of care making this ideal for beginners. The rosette normally consists of approximately 30 leaves and they will vary in their depth of greenness. Any sign of the leaves turning yellow is an indication that the plant is lacking in iron so a supplement should be added to the tank. It is a beautiful addition to any aquarium but will need pruning to prevent it from blocking light to other plants. The roots are the main feeding source so plenty of supplements should be on hand in the substrate to keep this plant looking its best, having said that it is very easy to care for compared to more delicate species of plants and ideal for beginners. Another great reason for adding this plant to the aquarium is their ability to release oxygen into the water column, at times the oxygen bubbles can even be seen with the naked eyes floating up from the plant.

Aquatic Plants 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.
