Eusteralis stellata Amano plant

Larger picture

Eusteralis stellata is a very beautiful aquarium plant which differs from all other aquatic plants. The 10-cm long narrow leaves are placed around the stem much like spokes in a wheel and the lower leaf side is heavily violet at optimum growth conditions. However, it is quite difficult to culture and requires very high light, soft water and CO2 enrichment of the water to thrive. Eusteralis stellata is a brilliant indicator for micronutrient,especially iron. If the aquarium is short of iron, the leaves will turn light green to yellowish but a few days after iron addition the colour will reappear on new leaves. Occasionally, the plant suddenly stops growing but after a while adventitious shoots will normally develop and the plant resumes growth.

Heteranthera zosteraefolia AKA stargrass Grade a-B

Larger picture

Heteranthera zosterifolia is an extremely beautiful plant which forms a lot of side shoots and thus quickly forms a bushy plant group. In strong light growth is intensive, and the plant must be pruned before it becomes so compact that no light reaches the lower leaves. Water roots often form on the stem. In open aquariums it forms small blue flowers if some shoots are allowed to spread on the surface.

Hottonia palustris

This plant needs plenty of light, and prefers slightly acidic water. Hottonia palustris is most beautiful when planted in a compact group. It will soon bush out, but can be pruned easily if it grows too big, after which it quickly forms new side shoots. H. palustris is easy to propagate using side shoots or cuttings, which should be cut off and planted in the bottom. It is also suitable for garden ponds, and is used in natural medicine.

Lobelia cardinalis

Larger picture

In the nursery this plant is cultivated in marshy conditions, forming dark-green leaves which are purple underneath. In aquariums the leaves turn a beautiful shade of light-green. It needs intensive light to thrive. Widely used in Dutch aquariums in so-called “plant streets”. In open aquariums it grows above the water surface, where it forms very beautiful scarlet flowers and the leaves regain their colour. Can be used in garden ponds.

Nymphaea zenkeri 'Green' ?? Nymphaea zenkeri 'Tiger lotus green'

Larger picture

Nymphaea lotus ("zenkeri")- or the Tiger Lotus - is recognised to be among the most graceful aquarium plants. It is a quite variable speciesand the leaf colour may vary from bright green overred-brown to red-violet. It is without comparison themost suitable Nymphaea species for aquarium purposes because it sets numerous water leaves beforefloating leaves are produced. When floating leaves are produced the plant easily sets flowers, too. A nice odourescapes from the flower which, however, only opens duringnight-time. If, on the other hand, floating leaves are unwanted due to the strong light competition, newly formed floating leaves and longer roots may be removed.The plant thereafter begins to produce water leaves. Nymphaealotus ("zenkeri") is an unpretentious plant though a nutrient rich substrate is required to sustain optimal growth.
