An orange-red abundance of Rotala Macrandra frames the central roots along with vivid light green Cuba-Hemianthus.
Thin transparent straws of the high Eleocharis sp. make the layout look deep and full of perspective.
Hydrocotyle and Nymphoides are both fast-growing and they require regular trimming. The low, compact growth of Bacopa 'Compact' is a result of continuous cutting and replanting of top shoots.

Plant D on the drawing is Penthorum sedoides, which is no longer produced by Tropica.
