Hedyotis salzmannii

A delicate, subtle stem plant, very similar in appearance to another aquarium plant – Bacopa monnieri. However, it is smaller than the latter.

Hedyotis Salzmannii It produces thin, smooth shoots with bare stems and small, opposite leaves that are almost sessile. The leaf blades are ovate to broadly ovate and smooth, with entire margins. The plant blooms white above the water and tends to spread along the lower stem.

This plant is ideal as a background plant in nano aquariums, where it can effectively serve as a background plant.

In natural compositions such as nature and iwagumi it serves as a delicate filler between larger elements.

Origin: South America

To ensure optimal plant growth, adequate lighting and fertilization of both the water column and the substrate are necessary.

❗ The nature of light has a key influence on the appearance of plants! ❗

• In intense light and nutrient-rich soil, the plant grows very quickly, producing two leaves on the left and right sides of the stem every few centimetres.
• In poor light and with a lack of nutrients, it it grows much slower, forming elongated yellowed stems, the size of the leaves is reduced by half, and older leaves may fall off.

Although it can grow without additional CO₂, its administration significantly improves growth rate and density.

General light requirements: Medium / High

Recommended lighting power according to the technology used:

~ 1 W/L (T8/T5 fluorescent lamps)

0.6 W/L – 0.5 W/L (LED light)

~ 40 Lm/L (LED diodes)

Reaction of water: pH 6 – 7

Hardness of water (GH) : 1 – 12

Temperature: 20 – 25 C

It is recommended to plant plants in groups between species with red or dark green leaves.
Plant the seedlings individually in the substrate, 1–2 cm apart, so that light can reach the lower leaves. Otherwise, after 3–4 weeks, the lower leaves will fall off, being covered by other seedlings.

If you have fairly large cuttings, you can cut them in half between the nodes (the places where the leaves grow) and plant the lower and upper parts to obtain a larger number of cuttings.

The plants offered in our shop come exclusively from our own breeding aquariums, and not from mass greenhouse plantations.

This allows them to acclimatise to their new tank much more quickly and easily, as they have been developing in an aquatic environment from the outset, rather than in terrestrial conditions.

Plants from farms differ in appearance and often require a long time to adapt to the aquarium. to adapt to the aquarium, while when our specimens almost from a18> once accepted themselves.

When you buy from us, you can be sure that you are getting healthy seedlings that will continue to grow without any problems.

Quantity sold: Single seedling, size 1–5 cm.

The portion sold may or may not have a root system.

The cutting may have a root system, but this is not always the case. The plant is easy to grow – under the right conditions, it will quickly develop roots and grow properly.

The plants we send you are issued with plant passports, also known as plant health certificates.
