Description

 

They call me PAPA Pick A Plant Auctions PAPA auctions PUT YOU IN CHARGE! You choose the plants You choose the quantity You choose the mix All plants are ONE LOW PRICE Shipping is based on how many plants and your state.   PAPA FOREGROUND AND CARPETING ALL F&C LISTED BELOW ARE $3 EACH   Dwarf Baby Tears Possibly considered the smallest aquarium plant, the dwarf baby tears can make a stunning carpet. This plant will need to be HAMMERED with light and appreciates doses of nutrients. Other than that, it requires nothing much else. Pots are typically shipped out full and slightly higher than the rim. Dwarf baby tears, otherwise known as HC Hemianthus Callitrichoides can grow to a height of 6" but if pruned with strong light can be kept around 1". Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Bright Temp: 68-82 F (20-28 C) pH: 5-7.5 Giant Baby Tears Commonly sold as a foreground plant but actually it can grow very tall creating a bush of pea size leaves. It can grow rather crazy in any direction, yet still has an attractive look. One of the most unique ways to grow Micranthemum Umbrosum is to FLOAT it. This allows hobbyists with less light to still enjoy it. Otherwise, bright light is it's only requirement when planting and pruning can keep a desired height and shape. This plant typically ships out at 2-4" tall and can grow to 12" or more. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Bright Temp: 75-86 F (24-30 C) pH: 6-8 Baby Tears Baby tears falls right into the middle. It is not as compact as the dwarf and it doesn't grow to near the giant. Like the other two, light is the critical key to success with this plant that will creep across your aquarium providing a nice carpet. These pots typically ship out full around 2" tall and will again grow to 6-8" or better if not pruned or without proper lighting. Hemianthus Micranthemoides can also make a good midground plant. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Bright Temp: 72-82 F (22-28 C) pH; 5.5-8 Cardinal Plant The cardinal plant comes in two forms both large (ponds) and small (aquarium). Both will produce beautiful purple flowers in terrestrial form. Lobelia Cardinalis (small form) will ship out around 2-4" tall and can grow up to 12" but it has a slow growth rate. The color and size of the plant are usually tied directly to the light. The color of the leaves can be from light green on both sides to a dark green on top and a dark purple on the underside. Other than light, this plant is HARDY and a great way to add interest to your aquarium. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Bright Temp: 72-79 F (22-26 C) pH: 6-8 Narrow Leaf Chain Sword This is one of the easier spreading foreground plants and requires bright light but has been able to slide by with less in shallow tanks. Echinodorus Tenellus will ship out around 3-4" tall with slightly broader leaves and possibly white flowers that will transform in your aquarium to narrower leaves around the same height. This is a great plant to provide a lawn look and prefers small grain substrate like BBB to spread easier. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Medium - Bright Temp: 72-86 F (22-30 C) pH: 6-9 Prefers slightly softer water, a Discus favorite. Dwarf Four Leaf Clover You can add a little luck to your tank and with a little luck you can have a nice carpet of green. There has been some debate on how easy this plant really is to grow and I think it is due to how many varieties there in this genus. Marsilea Crenata is the one we usually deal in and in some cases other varieties will substitute in. Crenata is claimed to be the easiest by most hobbyists and some will claim the easiest of the carpeting plants. These pots ship out around 3-4" tall with four leaf clovers on them that will typically transform to a single oval or round leaf in your aquarium growing to various heights. Almost ALWAYS in stock Light: Bright Temp: 72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 5-7.5 Dwarf Hairgrass They say the darker the leaf, the lower the light, however with dwarf hairgrass, every needle is fighting for a little sun. This tight grass-like plant will do best in strong lighting. Even in shallow tanks, fluorescent lights may still not be enough. These pots ship out around 3-4" and can grow as tall as 6" in your aquarium. Eleocharis Parvula can be a great plant with tightly packed needle blades of grass. Almost ALWAYS in stock Light: Strong - Very Bright Temp: 68-82 F (20-28 C) pH: 6-8 Glossostigma This one is one of the more popular carpeting plants used by both beginner and advanced hobbyists. This plant may be tricky to get started, but all it really requires is VERY BRIGHT LIGHT, and once it gets going you only have to worry about taller plants shading it. Glossostigma Elatinoides can ship out in pots that are full and 2" tall and will slightly transform and shrink to a height of 1" or less in your aquarium. Almost ALWAYS in stock Light: Bright - Very Bright Temp: 72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 5-7.5 Hygro Kompact I don't know as much on this plant other than I started dealing with it a few years ago. It is basically a dwarf version of Hygrophila Corymbosa and seems to grow very tight and compact in terrestrial form. It will probably survive in medium or moderate light, however it would probably prefer bright. These pots ship out anywhere from 3-6" tall and full of leaves that will grow to heights unknown and become stretchy or leggy without stronger lighting and pruning. Many past hobbyists that have tried this plant end up coming back for more. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Moderate - Bright Temp: 68-82 F (20-28 C) pH: 6-8 Narrow Microsword Lilaeopsis Mauritana is another grass-like spreader that likes to grow in clumps. Narrow means that the blades will be more needle than regular microsword. This plant will do its best in good substrate like BBB and strong lighting. There is also a noticeable difference with the addition of CO2 turning the light green leaves into a more lush color. These pots ship out full and around 3-4" tall which is probably about where they will stay in your aquarium. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light: Strong - Very Bright Temp: 68-82 F (20-28 C) pH: 6-8 Addition of CO2 will give better results but not necessary. Microsword Lilaeopsis Braziliensis is basically the same as the narrow variety above, so if you don't mind I am going to take a smoke break and stop typing. Almost ALWAYS in STOCK Light: Strong - Very Bright Temp: 68-82 F (20-28 C) pH: 6-8 Addition of CO2 will give better results but not necessary.   HIT OR MISS This is about as complete of a list of these types of plants.
