Coldwater Plants

• These live aquarium plants are suitable for
  'cooler waters'. In general most types of aquatic
  plants originate from tropical climates meaning
  they prefer their water about 20C minimum.
  However this range of aquatic plants are happy in
  cold water making them ideal for goldfish tanks.
  Caring for cold water aquatic plants is generally
  easier as they are less demanding because they
  grow slower than tropical aquarium plants.
  Nevertheless, these live aquarium plants still
  need fertilizers so consider using Neutro T as a
  suitable type. Learn more

Ceratophyllum demersum (Hornwort)

• A fast growing plant with very fine needle-like
  leaves. As the plant grows so fast it competes
  with algae, so is an ideal plant for a starter
  aquarium and ponds. The plant should be pruned
  regularly to keep its form and encourage new
  growth.

Lysimachia nummularia 'aurea'

• Extremely similar to the standard nummularia
  however the Lysimachia nummularia 'aurea' but
  yellow as opposed to green. This plant will
  decorate your tank with different strains of
  light and dark golden stems and looks
  particularly good if planted amongst some darker
  plants or rocks.

Tropica Salvinia auriculata 1-2-GROW!

• Salvinia auriculata is a cosmopolitic floating
  fern, 1-3 cm, that grows quickly if there is
  sufficient nutrition and light. Light leaves are
  a sign of a shortage of micronutrients. It tends
  to shade light from the plants at the bottom.
  Salvinia varieties have small hairs on their
  leaves, making them water resistant. Helps
  prevent algae by shading parts of the aquarium
  and using nutrients in the water. Grows very big
  in the wild and in optimum conditions. A
  decorative plant for open aquariums.

Aponogeton ulvaceus (WITH LEAVES)

• Originating from Madagascar the Aponogeton
  ulvaceus Bulb is a beautiful centre piece for
  your tank. This bulb has bright green
  vellum-like, heavy crimpled leaves. The older
  bulbs can grow up to 50 leaves given the right
  conditions!!!!
• This plant grows QUICKLY in the aquarium too
  under basic conditions. We provide it will very
  little light and it grows even with little water
  movement. We've tried it under faster water
  movement and it loves that too which means this
  plant is suitable for beginners and up. In terms
  of positioning, obviously, the background is the
  only suitable location. Simply drop it into the
  chosen location and leave it be. It will throw
  roots down and anchor itself.
