We grow our plants in our own (semi-)submersed tanks, so they are often already used to growing underwater and settle in more easily.

Because of the (semi-)submersed growing, our plants are often more compact than emersed-grown plants. They already have underwater leaves, so they keep growing faster in your tank.

Anubias, Java fern, Vallisneria and Limnophila sessiliflora are great starters. Make sure lighting and nutrients fit.

• Stem plants: remove the lead and plant stems separately.
• Cryptocoryne and Echinodorus: bury the roots, keep the crown free.
• Anubias and Java fern: don't bury the rhizome; attach to wood or stone.
• Mosses: tie or glue onto wood, stone or decor.
