Tropica Sagittaria Subulata
Tropica Sagittaria subulata from South America is an ideal, undemanding foreground plant whose short runners form a compact group. Place individual plants 2-4 cm apart. This plant may cause problems because in certain conditions it suddenly grows to a height of 50 cm when it grows older. But if it is then moved into the background it may become low again. In the aquarium, it sometimes sends a long flower stem to the surface, and small white flowers unfold just above the water surface.
Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident Java Fern
Microsorum pteropus or Java fern is from Asia. Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident Java Fern is a narrow-leaved, smaller form of Microsorum, which like other Microsorum is an easy and safe plant. ’Trident’ is both suitable for beginners, as well as the experienced scaper, and fits both smaller and larger aquariums. The name ’Trident’ tells that the plant leafs are tripartite, while the leaves can vary from whole to multipartite. Suitable for planting on stones or tree roots. When planted on the bottom layer, avoid covering the horizontal stalk. New, small plants are often created on the leaf tips, and can carefully be pulled off and planted.
Tropica Bucephalandra sp. 'Red'
The Bucephalandra resemble Anubias very much and should be treated the same way. They usually grow more or less epiphytic in or near water. Bucephalandra sp. 'Red' does best at lower light levels and is very easy to grow. The leaves are of a very dark green or leathery red colour. Numerous tiny, white dots and sometimes a faint, metallic, blue colour will appear on submerse leaves. Size of leaf is 2-4 cm wide, 4-6 cm long and usually it will present wavy edges. Do not cover the creeping rhizome when planting. This will cause the plant to rot and die.

Micranthemum umbrosum is a beautiful plant from US with small round leaves. It is suitable for small or large aquariums with stems becoming 10-25 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. Relatively demanding in terms of light. CO2 addition will promote growth. Once the plant starts growing, it grows fast, and the shoots need to be pinched out often (can be planted as cuttings in the soil). Most beautiful in groups of many stems.
Tropica Crinum calamistratum
Crinum calamistratum from West Africa is a very graceful bulbous plant with dark-green, very narrow leaves. The curly leaves becomes 40-120 cm long. It forms smaller bulbs than the other Crinum-species, and requires less light. In the aquarium plants that are thriving form a number of small bulbs. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish. It can also be used in brackish aquariums with low salt concentrations.
Tropica Anubias Gracilis
Western Africa is home to several species of Anubias, including this one. The triangular leaves of 5-10 cm on long leaf-stems make Anubias gracilis one of the most elegant. It is hardy and tolerant, a very good beginner’s plant. The plant can grow on rock or wood or planted on the bottom. If planted in the bottom, the rhizome, from which leaves and roots appear, must not be covered. If it is, the whole plant will rot and die. Anubias gracilis can be allowed to grow out of the water, but will attain a significant size this way.

Tropica Shinnersia rivularis ‘Weiss-Grün’
Variety of Shinnersia rivularis, distinguished by the white veins on the leaves, 30-60 cm long and up to 10 cm wide stems. This colour mutation was discovered at the Dennerle aquarium plant nursery. The plant grows rapidly and soon reaches the water surface, but shoots can simply be pinched off and planted back in the bottom. Shinnersia does not appreciate high temperatures. It tends to become leggy, but several plants placed in a group, will improve the appearance. The colours will develop optimally at good light conditions.

Tropica Anubias barteri 'Mini Coin'
Anubias 'Mini Coin' is a variety of Anubias barteri found at the aquarium nursery Tropica in Denmark. The plant is among the very smallest Anubias, each leaf smaller than a little fingernail. It is as easy to grow as its parent, and so does not like bright light. Anubias 'Mini Coin' thrives best attached to rocks and tree roots in the aquarium. If planted in the substrate, the creeping stem (rhizome) must not be covered as this can cause the plant to rot and die. Anubias 'Mini Coin' branches readily and will form a dense cushion of small, round, deep green leaves. If the plant becomes too dense, it can be carefully divided and the new plants placed elsewhere in the aquarium. It is ideal for use in nano aquariums, but can also add to the small details of a larger aquarium
Tropica Hygrophila pinnatifida
Hygrophila pinnatifida originates from India. It obtains brown, patched leaves on the surface with a distinctive burgundy colour underneath. It forms multiple horizontal shoots if the top shoots are pinched. This will maintain compact and attractive growth. The horizontal side shoots easily attach to both wood and rocks. Growth is moderate, stems 15-40 cm tall and 10-20 cm wide, and the colour is attractive when planted in small groups with a plain background. Intense lighting ensures compact growth due to the plant's slow to medium growth rate.
Tropica Echinodorus 'Reni'
