Care Requirements for Medium Aquarium Plants
Medium plants generally require 20-40 lumens of light per litre and benefit from CO2 supplementation for optimal growth. While they are more demanding than easy-care species, they reward aquarists with lush foliage, vibrant colours, and healthy development. Weekly maintenance of around 30 minutes to 1 hour ensures these plants stay in top condition, with regular pruning and nutrient dosing.
Why Choose Medium Aquarium Plants?
Medium-sized plants offer a range of benefits, including:
- Layered Visual Appeal: They enhance aquascape depth by providing height and midground structure.
- Support for Ecosystems: Medium plants improve water quality by absorbing nutrients and producing oxygen.
- Versatility: These plants thrive in various tank sizes and styles, from biotope tanks to nature-inspired layouts.
