Frequently Asked Questions
What do I actually receive when I order this?
What do I actually receive when I order this?
You get a pack of three sealed cups of young plants grown through tissue culture, in the 1-2-Grow! format. Separate the plantlets out before floating them on your tank.
Which fish benefit most from this plant?
Which fish benefit most from this plant?
Gouramies and other surface-dwelling fish benefit most, since the plant's long, fine roots give them a sheltered spot to shelter among near the water surface.
Is it suitable for a closed or covered aquarium?
Is it suitable for a closed or covered aquarium?
It is particularly suited to open aquariums, but it also does well in traditional, covered tanks.
Why has the plant's growth slowed down?
Why has the plant's growth slowed down?
Slower growth usually means nutrient levels in the water have dropped. The plant's growth rate acts as a natural indicator of how nutrient-rich the tank currently is.
Why do new leaves keep appearing above the water?
Why do new leaves keep appearing above the water?
When there are enough nutrients and strong enough light, new leaves grow up above the surface. It may be worth removing some so that plants growing beneath still get light.
A fast-growing floating plant from South America, supplied as tissue-cultured plantlets in a pack of three sealed cups, suited to open aquariums and to traditional tanks with surface-dwelling fish such as gouramies. Its long, fine roots give these fish a sheltered spot near the surface, and the way its growth rate changes gives you a simple read on how nutrient-rich the water is.
Limnobium laevigatum is a fast-growing floating plant from South America, supplied as tissue-cultured plantlets in a pack of three sealed cups under the 1-2-Grow! format. It suits open aquariums particularly well, and also does well in traditional covered tanks.
Its fine, trailing roots protect gouramies and other surface-dwelling fish by giving them a sheltered spot near the surface, since these fish like to shelter among the roots of floating plants. This makes it useful in tanks stocked with that kind of fish, not just as a floating feature on its own.
Given enough nutrients and strong light, new leaves push up above the water surface. It's worth thinning these out from time to time, as a thick covering can shade the plants growing underneath.
When nutrient levels in the water fall, growth slows noticeably, so the plant also works as a simple indicator of how well-fed the tank currently is. What you get is a pack of three cups of young plants grown through tissue culture, ready to separate and float directly on the surface. What sets it apart is that combination: quick floating growth, roots that double as shelter for surface fish, and a growth rate that tells you something about your water's nutrient levels.
