Common
questions.
Quick answers about epiphyte plants. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.
What is an epiphyte plant?
A plant that grows attached to wood or rock rather than in the substrate, such as Anubias, Java fern and Bucephalandra. Burying the rhizome can cause it to rot.
Do epiphytes suit low-light tanks?
Most are slow-growing and tolerate lower light, which makes them a great choice for low-tech tanks without CO2.
How do I attach an epiphyte?
Tie it to wood or rock with cotton thread or fishing line, or use an aquarium-safe glue, keeping the rhizome exposed. The roots will grip on over time.
Can I check which plants are in stock?
Yes. Plants move quickly and stock changes week to week, so a profile here doesn’t guarantee a plant is in store today. Call (02) 6686 0002 or send an enquiry before you travel and we’ll let you know.
