    Description

    This box brings together five of our best-selling aquarium plants in one simple package. Every plant in it has earned its place through genuine customer demand — these are the five plants UK fishkeepers buy from us again and again.

    What's in the box

    • Microsorum pteropus (Java Fern) — the classic hardy midground plant. Attaches to wood or rock, thrives in low light, shrimp-safe.
    • Anubias nana — compact, slow-growing and famously tough. Ideal on hardscape or in the foreground.
    • Hygrophila polysperma — one of the easiest stem plants in the hobby. Fast-growing background greenery.
    • Salvinia natans (Water Spangles) — an easy floating plant that shades the tank and helps keep algae in check.
    • Alternanthera reineckii Pink — the colour piece. Vivid pink-purple leaves that stand out against the greens. Colours up best with decent lighting.

    Care

    Four of the five are happy in a standard low-tech aquarium without CO2. The Alternanthera appreciates brighter lighting to show its best colour, but is rated easy-growing. Care information is included with your order.

    What you receive

    Four potted plants (5cm nursery pots) plus one portion of Salvinia natans. If a plant is temporarily unavailable, we'll substitute another easy-growing best seller of similar suitability.
