By now one of my favorites, a gorgeous plant that gets differently colored leaves depending on the light. Pure green emersed. (read more)

Einer meiner Lieblinge
Mittelweile einer meiner Lieblinge, wunderschöne Pflanze die je nach Licht unterschiedlich gefärbte Blätter bekommt. Emers rein grün. Mit reichlich Versorgung von Licht und Nährstoffen dunkelgrün mit leuchtend orangener Mittelrippe. Passt super überall zwischen Hardscape oder einfach freistehend.
Bleibt aber schön flach, daher auch super für Nano Becken zu gebrauchen.
I have the plant emersed in a tall DOOA Neo Glass AIR with a Glass Cover. The substrate consists of ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Powder and ADA Power Sand Advance S. (read more)

Sehr zufrieden!
Ich habe die Pflanze emers in einem hohen DOOA Neo Glass AIR mit Glass Cover. Der Bodengrund besteht aus ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Powder und ADA Power Sand Advance S. Das Wasser ist vollkommen enthärtet und bedeckt nur gerade den Bodengrund, so dass der Wasserstand nicht mehr als 1 cm ist. Ab und zu wird die Pflanze mit DOOA WABI-KUSA Mist besprüht. Das Glas ist am Fenster aufgestellt und die Pflanze wächst wunderschön. Ich bin wirklich sehr zufrieden!
Flawless! Very fast shipping and top-quality plants that arrived intact and in good health. Recommended to everyone, beginners and experts alike
