Common
questions.
Quick answers about midground plants. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.
What are midground plants?
Medium-height plants that link the foreground to the background, adding structure and depth through the middle of the layout.
Why are my crypts melting?
Crypts often melt back after being moved into new conditions. Leave the roots in place, keep conditions stable, and they usually regrow new leaves.
Do midground plants need root tabs?
Root-feeding plants such as crypts and swords benefit from a nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs placed near their roots.
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.
