SCAPE PLANTS

Dwarf Hairgrass has been a firm favourite in foreground plants for many years. Due to it’s very fine grass like appearance, and relatively short leaf growth, it makes a fantastic addition to any aquarium scape. It is relatively undemanding and will grow without the addition of CO2, but the growth will be slow.

Probably the most famous carpet plant in the world! HC is a relatively demanding plant that will need lots of light, adequate fertilisation and co2 injection for it to grow well. It does extremely well in nutrient enriched substrates. This plant makes a magnificent carpet when kept in ideal conditions.

A wonderfully vibrant, bushy, green mid ground plant for any aquarium. Hemmianthus micranthemoides is not a particularly difficult plant to grow, but if it’s needs are met, it is a fantastic addition to any aquarium, big or small. 

A very fast growing, undemanding plant. This plant is very similar to a creeper. It will creep along the substrate and grow very easily. It needs to be trimmed back fairly vigorously to promote it’s lateral growth. It requires some Co2 and fertilisation to grow optimally.

Lileaopsis is a grass like foreground plant. It has thicker leaves than that of the Hairgrass, and it grows far slower. It is undemanding in it’s requirements, but it will grow faster with the addition of Co2, higher lighting conditions and fertilisation. 

This beautiful stem plant is a must for any planted aquarium. With it’s magnificent red/pink colours it will shine through and create that blast of colour, perfect for drawing your eye to a specific point in the aquarium. It is a relatively demanding plant, and will need plenty of light and fertilisation to allow the true colour to shine through.
