Aquarium planting

The best results are always achieved by observing a few simple rules when designing your planting scheme. To achieve a sense of depth the bottom should slope up towards the back pane of the aquarium. Start by arranging a number of plants in the middle of the aquarium so they are in balance with each other. Plants on stones or roots are particularly suitable for this purpose, because they are easy to move around with a view to achieving the most harmonious effect. Position the tallest plants behind the group of plants on stones and roots, and the lower plants in front of them. Finally, you can plant a so-called 'solitary plant' in plenty of open space as a feature. Gaps in your planting scheme are a good idea - they help create a sense of depth. The most decorative effect can be achieved by choosing plants with different shades and leaf shapes.
