Tropica Elatine hydropiper CUP

Thanks to its creeping growth, Elatine hydropiper or Wasserpfeffer-Tännel is ideal for large-area layouts with a depth effect. Moderate growth makes this small-leaved ground cover less in need of care - also attractive for smaller tanks! However, in addition to a lot of light and CO2, it needs the right conditions, such as soft water. Nevertheless, Elatine hydropiper often adorns the foreground and middle ground - thanks to its natural charm and bright green colour, this species remains very popular.

• Light requirement: good to intense, no shade at all
• Optimal temperature: 4 to 26°C
• Water values: soft water, more tolerant

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
