Simple plant guides covering light, CO₂, placement, and maintenance
This plant overview page covers a wide range of freshwater aquarium plants used in aquascaping, from easy beginner species to more demanding plants for high-tech setups. You’ll find carpeting plants, stem plants, epiphytes, rosette plants, and floating plants commonly used in planted aquariums of all sizes and styles.
Each plant guide focuses on practical information. You’ll learn how each plant grows, where it fits best in an aquascape, and what it actually needs to stay healthy. The guides explain light requirements, CO₂ needs, growth speed, difficulty level, and common mistakes, so you can choose plants that match your tank setup instead of fighting constant problems.
The content is written for aquascapers at all levels. Beginners can confidently find hardy, low-maintenance plants that work without CO₂ or strong lighting, while more experienced hobbyists can explore plants suited for detailed layouts, high light, and advanced aquascaping styles. Whether you’re planning your first planted aquarium or refining an established aquascape, this plant library is designed to help you make better choices and build healthier, more balanced tanks!
