Small plants with great success. 1•2•Grow! Are very young plants cultivated and delivered directly from our laboratory. The plants are guaranteed to be free from snails, algae and pesticides and therefore are totally harmless for sensitive shrimp and fish. The range offers unique plants!

Success with your aquarium depends largely on the proper plant choice. In a 1•2•Grow! cup you buy a myriad of plants which can be divided into small portions and cover a larger area. Plants are compact from the start so you will experience a dense and beautiful growth, if you give them the right fertiliser and CO2 from the start! The range is perfect for small and medium sized aquariums, and your patience will be rewarded...

The range offers several mosses and specialties such as Rotala macrandra, Rotala 'Bonsai' and mini versions of traditional varieties such as Alternanthera and Eleocharis. 

  1. Carefully take the plant out of the cup and rinse off the growing media under the tap. 
  2. Split the plant in 6-8 portions using your fingers or sharp scissors (for small foreground plants). 
  3. Plant portions into the substrate using tweezers. Then watch them grow!
Eriocaulon cinereum

Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.

The genus Eriocaulon is usually adapted to soft water. Eriocaulon cinereum is more tolerant than most and will thrive in medium-hard water.  Soft water will promote overall health.
This is a quite small, very narrow-leaved and almost cushion-growing plant, that demands good supply of light and CO2 to develop. 
The plant usually flowers very willingly after planting in the aquarium and the numerous flower stems give a unique appearance. 
Flowering easily drains the energy of the plant, but given the right conditions, it will gather new energy and grow from basis after some time.
