*5 Ammannia gracilis RARE
This large, colorful stem plant, when under good growing conditions, grows rapidly upwards toward the water's surface. Pruning should be done by topping and replanting the more robust top portions. Propagation should be done by removing side shoots from the main stem plant with a pair of scissors.
A. gracilis, due to its eventually large size, is most suited to the midground to background of aquariums larger than 20g (76L) where it can add a brilliant splash of color to any layout. It is most commonly used by Dutch aquarists, who often use it for contrast to the typically green streets.

Aponogeton crispus
Due to its large size, A. crispus is suitable only in

leaves across the top, so keep its growth habits in mind when positioning a
specimen in your aquarium. That said, this plant is very suitable for the
background or as a solitary specimen plant in an aquascapesoon

Bolbitis heudelotii
Bolbitis heudelotii is a slow growing amphibious fern and can survive under very weak light. However, it is most beautiful under bright light.
Leaves grown under bright lights are small and compact while leaves grown under low lights are long and big but sparse. High water temperatures will usually cause the plants to wither and burn. Growth is optimal by
supplying a current, CO2 and soft, slightly acidic water.
Care must be taken not to cover the rhizome as it will rot. The common method is to tie them
to wood or rocks.
Sold as one plant 5-6 leaves 15cm long

Hygrophila difformis
Hygrophila difformis is a beautiful plant that has been in aquarium cultivation for many years.Due to its potentially large size, Hygrophila difformis is inappropriate for aquascapes in smaller tanks. Keepers of larger tanks, however, are extremely fortunate in that they may include this striking plant in their palette. A bushy grouping in a central or rear area of the aquarium can be especially appealing, particularly if it is contrasted with other species of varying leaf shape and color.

5* Hyptis lorentziana NEW/RARE
It needs strong lighting, the addition of co2 and a well rounded fertilization routine to show the strong purple colour of Hyptis lorentziana. Limiting nitrate levels to around ten to fifteen part per million will help accomplish that. Additionally, a phosphate level of 1-2ppm should be maintained. It has a medium to fast growth rate under those parameters. A new addition to the hobby, looks fantastic as a focal point or a background

The growing tips of this plant naturally arch downward and
therefore lend it well to aquascaping. A large grouping planted behind some
Cryptocoryne or hardscape makes an effective focal point. To achieve a
more compact appearance, give the stand a haircut and wait for the abundant
side shoots to grow in.
