It has been about 3 weeks since I last talked about the new aquarium seedlings. Now I will show you the results obtained and the experiments I have carried out: | Sono passate circa 3 settimane dall'ultima volta in cui ho parlato delle nuove piantine per l'acquario. Ora vi mostrerò i risultati ottenuti e gli esperimenti che ho effettuato: |
Cryptocoryne

This plant initially lost all the leaves and within 2-3 days practically only the root remained. | Questa pianta ha inizialmente perso tutte le foglie e nel giro di 2-3 giorni è rimasta praticamente solo la radice. |
Documenting a little bit on the internet I found out that Cryptocoryne are plants that suffer from displacements and abrupt changes in water values. Obviously these bought plants had very different values of pH - KH - GH. | Documentandomi un po' su internet ho scoperto che le Cryptocoryne sono piante che soffrono spostamenti e cambiamenti bruschi dei valori dell'acqua. Evidentemente queste piante comprate avevano dei valori parecchio differenti di pH KH e GH. |
The good news is that they are very robust plants, able to behave like a mythological phoenix and to rise to new life once set. | La buona notizia è che sono delle piante molto robuste, in grado di comportarsi come una mitologica fenice e di risorgere a nuova vita una volta ambientate. |

I'm still learning how to try to create an aquatic grass and I have to say that it's not so easy. I did an experiment by putting the same plant under a different light power, in the presence of CO2 and fertilizers. | Sto ancora imparando a come cercare di creare un pratico acquatico e devo dire che non è così semplice. Ho fatto un esperimento mettendo la stessa pianta sotto una differente potenza di luce, in presenza di CO2 e fertilizzanti. |

In the first pool it was around 0.25W/L and in the second it was above 0.5W/L and the difference is considerable! | Nella prima vasca era attorno ai 0.25W/L e nella seconda oltre i 0.5W/L e la differenza è notevole! |
Rotala Orange

I did the same experiment also for this plant and the results are the same. Lighting plays a key role in plant growth and is a parameter that is often not considered! | Ho fatto lo stesso esperimento anche per questa pianta e i risultati sono gli stessi. L'illuminazione gioca un ruolo fondamentale per la crescita delle piante ed è un parametro che spesso non viene considerato! |

Wow! Crypto anche sott'acqua ;)
ahah, buona questa! ma magari :)
tip! 0.3 hide
Planting has always been a mystery to me! I'm importing a wild Betta and would love to create an amazing planeted environment. Any tips?
Nice fish, I'll try to help you! Tank dimension?
Thanks! 30 x 30 x 30cm
wow, a cube aquarium, very good choice for a betta :)
Some easy aquarium plants
ceratophyllum demersum (hornwort)
it's an excellent plant that absorbs many pollutants. It can live very well without being rooted and therefore an excellent float. It should be pruned often because it is weed.
In the first six months or so during which your aquarium will mature, the presence of this plant will help you greatly to avoid algal and bacterial infestations.
anubias nana, anubias barteri
slow growing plant with excellent shades of green. Ideally it would be best to place it tied together with a mangrove trunk. It grows very well in areas of semi-shade
agenandra meeboldii
For a touch of brown red colour in aquarium.
cryptocoryne lucens
very elegant green plant of beautiful appearance with thin and long leaves up to 20cm tall
info
A fertile bottom in aquarium will greatly help the growth and maintenance of plants. The CO2 system would be an additional aid, but it is not required for these types of plants.
all these plants require basic weekly fertilization
Amazing, thanks so much for your response! My only concern is the fertilization. I've never done it before and it seems daunting !
For good fertilization it is necessary to respect dosages and administration times. Just try it:)
For example you can use this product (I had good results with these):
dennerle fertilization protocol

http://dennerle.com/en/products/aquaristic/plant-care/basic-fertilization/v30-complete
remember that you should create a tank with a lot of plants. The more plants you put the less are the problems :)
It is nice to learn about these beautiful aquatic plants too. @cheftony
Thank you for the update. It starts to look good, a lot progress made, Thats nature, take care for the good conditions and hete is the reward. Nice !!
thanks, patience is the key!
