ALTERNANTHERA REINECKII 'PINK' XL

• Alternanthera reineckii Pink is a medium
  category plant available in pots or XL pots. It
  can survive with lower levels of lighting and
  without CO2 injection but these are essential to
  get the best from this colour species. Without
  strong lighting, the lower leaves tend to drop
  off. It typically grows 25-50cm tall with its
  leaves measuring up to 8cm long.

HYGROPHILA SIAMENSIS XL

• Meet Hygrophila siamensis XL - a lovely
  Motherplant! It's grown in a small 9cm square pot
  and is perfect for adding a little green to your
  aquarium. This plant, known as 'Siamensis', is
  originally from Thailand and has stems that can
  reach anywhere from 15-40 cm in length and 10-15
  cm wide. The leaves are a light green color and
  are quite dense.

MICROSORUM PTEROPUS XL

• A large leaved aquarium plant with attractive
  dark green leaves and small sturdy stems. A
  really easy to keep aquatic plant that asks very
  little of its water parameters. Best to plant on
  a rock or stone where the roots trail and it
  reproduces easily.

ECHINODORUS PALIFOLIUS XL

• In marshy conditions, Echinodorus palaefolius
  var. latifolius from Brazil has round leaves with
  a horizontal leaf base. Under water the leaves
  are narrower and longer. In the aquarium it tends
  to grow out of the water. This can be prevented
  by removing the long leaves just before they
  reach the water surface. The next leaves will
  then become shorter and the plant will remain
  under water.

ANUBIAS BARTERI VAR NANA XL POT

• Originating from Cameroon the Anubias barteri var
  nana is a slow growing plant that has leaves that
  are different shades of green, from dark to light
  green in colour and have a waxy, shininess to
  them. This small plant will thrive in most
  conditions and can be grown in a wide range of
  aquariums. To thrive best it needs to be tied to
  wood. A lily looking white flower will appear
  every so often and is a sign of a happy plant.
