Eleoharis vivivate is a watertype of flora, they are often drawn up by aquariums. This plant can be found in swamps and “slow” rivers of North America, Australia and Central Asia. Eleoharis belongs to the genus. About 260 plants belong to this genus.
Kinds
There are several varieties of Eleoharis. Among them there is Eleoharis Viviper, who usually forms extensive bushes and grows quite quickly. Because of this, it is used to decorate the back of the aquarium. The height of the plant varies from 35 to 40 cm. The leaves of this species are dark green, in shape resemble needles. At the ends of these parts, the plants are cultivated by subsidiaries with air roots. The rhizome of this species is uloquent, it grows into the soil almost immediately.
Another view of this Sitnyag is Eleoharis Mini. This is a dwarf species of the wellknown Sitnyag. It differs with a huge number of leaves. The plant looks like a small bush, its height is usually about 7 cm. This subspecies is used to decorate the front wall of the aquarium, because its bushes visually increase the depth. Being in favorable conditions, Echeolaris usually grows and fills out the entire bottom of his “home”.
Another subspecies Sitnyaga is Echeolaris Parvula. The plant has pale leaves that form dense, but stunted thickets. Eleoharis Acircularis can also boast of needle leaves and dense bushes, whose height varies from 10 to 40 cm. If the aquarium is poorly lit, the height of Eleoharis will not exceed 10 cm. This subspecies is growing slowly. It is perfect for decor if the water level in the aquarium is low.
Appearance
Echolaris stems are slim, usually they are painted green. The rhizome of the plant is weak, it is both threaded and urolithia. Spikelets have the shape of an ellipse, they are almost invisible. Echolaris flowers are located in a spiral, the fruit of this cute is white and has a rounded shape.
Care and content
Eleoharis Viviper is quite unpretentious. It is better to put him in small or medium aquariums, because in a large “home” he will not have enough light. This plant is planted only on sandy soil. The thickness of the soil should be more than 4 cm. Environmental temperature should be approximately +24 Celsius. However, Echolaris can live in colder water, but its temperature should not be less than +18. The stiffness indicator should not exceed 6 DH, and the acidity of the water 7 pH. The illumination of the aquarium should also be within 100 lm/l. To accelerate the growth of eleoharis, it is fed with microns with carbon dioxide. In the “house” of these plants there should be a filtration system. To reduce risk is usually aeration.
It is also desirable to cut the plant, because it grows with high speed. To better control the growth of the species, you need to surround it with snails, Amano shrimp. But this plant will be in danger if the number of unicellular ones increases dramatically in the aquarium, because of this, the leaves will begin to die and the water will become muddy. Harmful sprouts that should be cleaned once a week. The plant also needs to be combed.
Echiolaris Mini loves sandstones, moreover, the thickness of the soil should be about 5 or 7 cm. This species is usually planted in small beams, a few centimeters from each other. The plant can exist in a wide range of temperatures: from +15 to +27. Water hardness is at least 4 dH, the acidity should not be ration 5 pH. To accelerate the growth of Eliocharis, you need to feed it with carbon dioxide and mineral fertilizers.
View called “Acircularis” is very fond of haircuts, this procedure should be carried out about once a month. Sprouts are not formed on the leaves, so it is not necessary to comb out this cute. This plant loves heat, so the water temperature should be +23 ° Celsius. But, despite this, Echiolaris Mini will be able to survive a change of conditions and a colder habitat. Moisture hardness should not be higher than 15, and acidity can be 7 pH. The soil should be rocky, in the ideal case, its thickness should be 4 or more.
Reproduction
On large leaves with a diameter of more than 10 cm, daughter plants are formed. You should wait until the moment they start to let the roots. So they take root better in the soil. When these subsidiaries are fully formed, they should be separated from the sheet and plant them. These bushes can be planted close to each other, and in this case the thickets will be thick.
Useful life hacks
- Eleoharis must be transplanted with the soil due to an extensive root system.
- To prevent too much growth of green algae, you need to use an external filter, establish a biofiltration system.
- The fork will help to tear off excess sprouts.
- It is necessary to clean Echiolaris from moss, because it clogs into the plant bushes.
- If you do not want to grow echiolaris anymore, you should constantly remove its shoots even after removing the water plant itself.
- In order for the plant to develop rapidly, you can plant it with theodoks that are underwater orderlies.
- This species is often used as an anchor, holding them at the very bottom.
