Tiger Lotus, Green (Nymphaea zenkeri)

A beautiful African Lotus plant, brilliant green with spots. The leaves will start out low and some runners may extend with some leaves floating on the surface. Medium hardy plant. Keeping the long runners pruned encourages bottom growth.

Anubias Coffeefolia (Anubias barteri v. Coffeefolia

Anubias barteri v, coffeefolia is a very beautiful Anubias. It is characteristic that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are yellow-red-brown. The colour combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds there. Anubias species seem to grow so slowly that they do not realise that they have been submerged. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Hygrophilia (Hygrophila polysperma)

This plant is no longer available for shipping until further notice. Hygrophila Polysperma is one of the hardiest aquarium plants available. It is particularly good for beginners because it grows in almost all conditions. It normally grows so fast that it is important to prevent it crowding out other plants. The shoots must be pinched out regularly. Leaves lying on the surface form small new plants. H. polysperma varies considerably in leaf shape and color, depending to some extent on the light supplied.

Java Fern (Microsorium pteropus)

Grows from a thick rhizome that creeps over logs and rocks attaching itself as it goes. When new plantlets form on old leaves you can remove them, when they are large enough (about 3") and attach them to new places with rubber bands or fine fishing line until they take root. Very easy to grow...does not need much light.
