A Jungle Style Aquascape is an aquascape that replicates a jungle scene so tall plants and bulbs create a canopy type layout with smaller bold and big leaved plants below. It may come across as a bit chaotic however it will be very rewarding once you have accomplished it.
Rules of a Jungle aquascape:
It can be tricky to create your own Jungle Style aquascape so Aqua Essentials have put together a box with everything you need.
A feature of the Jungle style aquascape is to have wood protruding through the plants however this wood is to be planted up. You will receive a type of either Anubias or Microsorum plant with your box. For best effect, this plant can be attached to wood (not included) using some fine line or fishing line.
