Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup. A moss speciality from Brasil, 1-3 cm tall, called "Christmas tree moss'', because of its side branch structure which distinguishes it from ordinary Vesicularia dubyana and looks like fir tree branches. It is more demanding than ordinary Java moss and grows more slowly. It attaches readily to roots and stones, and as it spreads in the water it needs pruning to keep its shape attractive.
Echinodorus 'Ozelot' is a decorative hybrid between Echinodorus schluteri 'Leopard' and Echinodorus ‘Barthii’. 20-50 cm tall and a 20-40 cm wide rosette.
Naturally, it is the elliptical black spots on the red-brown leaves that have given this plant the name 'Ozelot'. The spots are darkest on the youngest leaves, and unlike many other spotted Echinodorus, 'Ozelot' retains its spots even at low light intensity.
It is an undemanding and good plant for beginners.

Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya'is one of the many naturally occurring variations in this species. 'Mi Oya' is a variety that has been well established in the aquarium trade because of its beautiful colour and vigorous growth. This is a Cryptocoryne that will grow equally well as an aquarium plant or as a terrarium plant, though it is when used under water that its colour really shines.
"Red Wendtii", as it is more commonly known, is one of the most popular varieties of Cryptocoryne in the aquarium trade. It is a great plant for the beginner, as it will tolerate almost any aquarium conditions from low to high light and grows easily without supplemental CO2. Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Mi Oya' will thrive and show its best colour and robust size under medium light with regular fertilizer applications. In lower light and less fertilization, the plant will adjust and remain much smaller, but still attractive.

The cosmopolitan Egeria densa is a good plant for beginners, and its rapid growth helps create a balance in the aquarium from the start. Stems grows fast to 40-100 cm and becomes 2-4 cm wide. Egeria helps preventing algae because it absorbs a great number of nutrients from the water. The growth rate depends largely on the amount of light and nutrition available. Growth does not stop in unfavourable conditions, but the plant turns light in colour and the tendrils grow thin. A bundle of stems or young plants gathered in an anchor. Remove the anchor and split into separate plants. Regarding stem plants, remove the leaves from the lowest 5 cm (2“). Remove any damaged leaves. Plant the individual plants with some distance into the bottom substrate. Roots will develop soon and the plant start growing.

Marsilea hirsuta is a carpet plant from Australia. A fascinating plant, usually delivered with leaves like a four-leaf clover. After a transitional period it develops different types of leaves, possibly a low form with single leaves like a large Glossostigma, or alternatively develop two, three or four-lobed leaves varying in height (from 2-10 cm), depending on the growth conditions. Whichever form the plant adopts, it forms runners and spreads rapidly around the aquarium.
