A world of 1-2-Grow! All variants are represented in this aquarium. The three tallest plants - Nymphoides, Rotala and Heteranthera - show up behind a mountain range of red granite. In between the large rocks, the moss is wedged and creates deep green glaciers. The clear, light green Riccia is tied to a couple of lava stones furthest to the left. Pogostemon and Staurogyne are accentuated in their leaf form as well as colour by Alternanthera, which together with Rotala creates focus areas. Eleocharis, moss, Hemianthus and Marselia, together with Glossostigma and Lilaeopsis, create a vigorous and varied plain landscape, where the little, compact Rotala 'Bonsai' shoots up here and there. A more harmonious and calm layout can be achieved by using a smaller amount of different foreground plants.

Tip! 1-2-Grow plants are smaller than normal pots by the planting and must have time to grow. It is therefore important to fertilize in small doses already from the beginning and gradually increase the dose in line with the growing plant mass.
