Small plants with great success. 1•2•Grow! Are very young plants cultivated and delivered directly from our laboratory. The plants are guaranteed to be free from snails, algae and pesticides and therefore are totally harmless for sensitive shrimp and fish. The range offers unique plants!
Success with your aquarium depends largely on the proper plant choice. In a 1•2•Grow! cup you buy a myriad of plants which can be divided into small portions and cover a larger area. Plants are compact from the start so you will experience a dense and beautiful growth, if you give them the right fertiliser and CO2 from the start! The range is perfect for small and medium sized aquariums, and your patience will be rewarded…
The range offers several mosses and specialties such as Rotala macrandra, Rotala ‘Bonsai’ and mini versions of traditional varieties such as Alternanthera and Eleocharis.

Carefully take the plant out of the cup and rinse off the growing media under the tap.

Plant portions into the substrate using tweezers. Then watch them grow!

Tropica Juncus repens 1-2-Grow! in Singapore

Juncus repens is a grassy, rush-like plant we recommend when a hobbyist wants vertical structure that reads differently from the usual stems and swords. Its thin, upright blades can blush reddish under strong light, giving a subtle colour shift that looks great in clusters. As a 1-2-Grow! cup it is grown in the lab and arrives free of snails, algae and pesticides, so it is genuinely safe for sensitive shrimp and fish.

Planting in small portions a short distance apart lets it knit into a fuller stand over time. In our warm 27-29C water it does best with bright light and CO2, which keep it compact and bring out the colour; in dimmer tanks it stays green and grows taller and looser. Choosing the right species for your conditions is half the battle, and this one rewards a well-lit, stable setup.
