Phyllanthus fluitans 1-2-Grow!

The 1-2 Grow! Plants from Tropica come directly from the laboratory, are free of algae, snails and pollutants and are therefore ideal for shrimp and sensitive fish species.

They can be placed in the tank immediately after rinsing off the sugary nutrient solution. No prior watering is necessary.

The plants thrive in the sealed pot in their underwater form (compared to the conventional plants from plant nurseries that are usually grown over water), so that after being introduced into the aquarium they do not have to shed some of their (above water) leaves and develop new underwater leaves... the best conditions for rapid growth.
