Tonina Fluviatilis is a lovely aquarium stem plant that is ideal for adding ornamental charm to a planted tank. Tonina is a member of the Eriocaulon family and is renowned for being picky in aquariums.
This, like other Tonina species, is not a beginner’s plant. It requires a little acidic substrate and relatively soft water. The species requires a lot of light (1 watt or more per liter) as well as CO₂ injections. It’s critical to have enough iron and micronutrients, and nitrate and phosphate levels should never dip below zero.
Though the Tonina grows predominantly vertically, it will produce lateral shoots if given enough light. Because many plants outgrow their species, it’s critical to make sure the Tonina gets enough light. Cut offshoots and replant them in the substrate to reproduce the plant. The cut shoot tips should be no more than 2″ long, since this will ensure that the new stems develop in an aesthetically pleasing manner, with no roots growing from the sides.
The fresh appearance of this plant’s leaves makes it an excellent choice for adding a green accent to an aquarium’s middle or background. It’s a wonderful choice for tanks in the Dutch style.
Care Tips
- Make no major alterations to the aquarium.
- Unstable settings will cause the aquarium plant to melt and decay.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
