General information about the Ceratophyllum Demersum

Ceratophyllum Demersum is a fast-growing plant that spreads easily, forming a lush green carpet in your aquarium. Its fine, feathery leaves create a beautiful effect in the water and also provide a natural hiding place for fish and other aquatic creatures.

This plant thrives in a variety of water conditions and is suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarium enthusiasts. It's an excellent choice for highly nutrient-rich aquariums, as it tends to absorb excess nutrients and thus helps prevent algae problems.

Planting stem plants can be done in different ways, depending on what you want to achieve in your aquarium.

If you choose to plant the plants as a whole clump (without rock wool), this is a quick and easy method. You'll get a nice bunch right away and it saves you time. However, keep in mind that you may lose some stems this way.

If you're a bit more patient, you can choose to plant each stem individually. This allows you to work more precisely, allowing you to position the stems to evenly cover a larger area. Furthermore, planting them individually allows the stems to receive more light and circulation, as they won't be in each other's shadow. This approach can result in healthier, more lush growth in the long run.

When planting, you can use your finger to plant the stem about 2cm deep or aaquascape tool >Use for greater precision. Once you've planted the stem, gently pull it up slightly to a depth of 1.5 cm. This prevents rot. Be careful not to let the stems float.

Regularly pruning your stem plant is an excellent way to stimulate its growth and volume! By cutting back the tops, you encourage it to grow wider and fuller. Each pruned stem will eventually produce two new stems, giving your plant a longer, fuller appearance.

Use shears for a clean cut; this promotes rapid healing and prevents damage. Although you can also prune with your fingernail, shears provide a cleaner cut. Make sure you cut between the nodes – these are the nodes on the stem where leaves and branches grow.Leave at least three layers of leavesKeep the plant in a cool, dry place so it retains enough leaves for effective photosynthesis. This approach gives your plant the best chance to thrive in your aquarium!
