With a little additional equipment, the planting set up can be a bit more ambitious. Bacopa australis and the Cyprus plant will enjoy a little extra light. Vivid contrast in colour and habit of the plants contained in this set will make for an interesting aquascape. With 40cm in depth, two light tubes should be provided. CO₂ is recommended if your tap water is medium hard to hard. Don't forget to ahnge the water regularly. 1/3rd per week is about right.

Planting tip:

Stem plants do not have roots at the time of delivery. Pull them into the substrate about 5-6 cm. For the rosette plants, cut the roots down to about 3-4 cm. Plant by pulling the roots into the substrate to the base of the rosette. Sharp forceps are a great help. Cut the Cyperus roots down to about 4-5 cm length and remove any dead tissue. The moss is delived bunched, in a small tub or tied to mesh. It is best tied to wood or rock using some black cotton. Tie the cotton around several times. Do not worry about damaging the moss - it will soon start to grow, requiring regular trimming.
