Stemmed Plants in Your Tanks

If you’d like to try some stemmed plants or maybe more stemmed you should take in to consideration the needs of the plants. Aquarium Plants will not only grow faster with better conditions, they will also grow differently in terms of shape size and color. Very few plants will grow in a tank with a standard tank hood with incandescent lighting. Bacopa monniera- This is a great plant with interesting rubbery bright green leaves. Bacopa can grow quite fast and can grow in moderate to very high lighting. It’s a lovely plant with delicate dark green leaves with dark red tints. Even though Cabomba is often seen for sale it isn’t a particularly easy plant to grow. Ceratophyllum demersum- An old aquarium stand by and a true aquatic plant, hornwort is a floating plant that never grows roots. Hornwort can grow in most lighting conditions. Any broken off floating piece will grow a whole new plant.Egeria densa (Anacharis)- Anacharis is a truly classic aquarium plant, but not always easy to grow. Plants grown in the aquarium become lighter green and the leaves are smaller. It’s harder to find but a very attractive plant.It makes a nice plant for contrast with the brighter greens of most aquarium plants. Ludwigia grows well even under moderate lighting. In lower light levels it will stay mostly green and grow more slowly.
