Ficus is an aquatic herb native to West Africa that grows slowly, has firm leaves and is emerald green in color. Its leaves are inverted ovate, have larvals, and look a bit like banyan fig. Its foliage is green, the petiole base is sheathed, and the buds of the Buddha flame are swept away. The berries are wrapped inside the buds and are nearly spherical. The large water fig is a very typical ornamental aquatic grass, as a medium and rear aquatic grass has a good effect, beautiful shape, and because of the hard leaves, herbivorous fish will not nibble, but also can be raised in goldfish tanks. However, because of its hermaphroditic and seed plants, it is difficult to obtain seeds for normal breeding, so it is often based on asexual reproduction, and the tillers on the side of the rhizome are used to form new plants, and the reproduction rate is extremely low. The water quality requirements are not strict, weak light can survive, and green spotted algae is easy to grow on leaves with too strong light.
Small banyan tree
Aliases: Little Water Banyan tree, Anubias nana
Plant species: rhizomes, underground stems
Growth rate: Slow
Suitable water quality: PH 5.8-7.6, GH 2-12
Monocotyledonous plant, very aqueous aquatic plant. The leaves of the aquatic grass are inverted ovate in shape, much like the leaves of a banyan tree. The leaves are dark green in color and have clear veins. The spikes are yellow and can flower in water. The grass in the water has hardly changed, but the leaf color has become slightly lighter. The growth is extremely slow, and the aquatic grass is easy to adapt to the aquatic environment. Its creeping stems can also be climbed on driftwood or rocks, and can be grown outwards by meristems. Artificial propagation mainly uses tissue cultivation. It is a kind of aquatic grass with considerable vitality, which can adapt to a wide range of water quality changes, but does not like high water temperatures, and when the temperature exceeds 30 ° C, the growth is gradually poor, and the old leaves may be yellowed. Cultivated in a low-light light environment, the petiole will be elongated. It is easy to breed and is very suitable for novice cultivation.
Mini small water fig
Alias: Anubias nana "mini"
Plant species: rhizomes
Suitable water quality: PH 5.8-7.5, GH 2-12
Modified from the small water fig, its plant is smaller than the small water fig, the leaves are oval, the leaf surface is smooth, the new leaves are pale green, and the old leaves are slightly darker in color. The roots should be hydrophobic and suitable for sticking on sunken wood and stone. Since the growth is very slow and easy to provoke algae, it is necessary to pay attention to the balance of light and fertilizer addition. If there is a green spotted algae or black hairy algae growing on the leaves, you can soak it in 1:20 bleach for a short time and rub it to clean it.
Banyan tree
Aliases: Grarong, Anubias gracilis
Light requirements: low to medium
Plant species: there are stems
Suitable water quality: PH 5.8-6.8, GH 2-8
Suitable water temperature: 22-26 degrees
Monocotyledonous plant, very aqueous aquatic plant. This plant grows on the wetlands of nature, not only strong, but also quite adaptable to the environment, but growing in water, the adaptability is not as good as other aquatic weeds, so it is more difficult to breed than other figs. Water leaves have long, triangular leaves, so they are easily distinguishable from other aquatic plants of the same genus. It has rhizomes, the leaf color is bright green, and the leaf veins are obvious. The midlough veins are at the base of the leaf and sometimes split into two lateral veins. It is not easy to breed in hard or alkaline water, and even if it can survive, the newly developed plant body will obviously be miniaturized and the leaves will be narrow. However, if the water quality is soft and slightly acidic, coupled with the appropriate water temperature, as well as the root fertilizer buried in the bottom bed, giving sufficient light and applying carbon dioxide, it is still possible to breed beautiful aquatic plants.
Banyan swallowtail
Aliases: Hassrong, Anubias hastifolia
Suitable water quality: PH 6.0-7.5, GH 2-12
Ficus dovetail is a large aquatic plant whose water grass leaves are lanceolate, bright green, and can usually reach 20–25 cm in length but not lush; petiole lengths can reach 10–20 cm, with pronounced veins, rhizomes, and a leaf ear about 3–5 cm long. When the fig is used as a grass in the water, the leaf form will become narrow and long, the leaf width will be slightly larger, and the leaf ears will be elongated, much like the tail of the swallow, which makes it easy to identify. The grasses in the water can grow on driftwood or rocks, and can grow outward through meristems. The growth rate of grass in the water of fig swallowtail is slower than that of water grass, it is not sensitive to changes in water quality, it is easier to cultivate, but it does not like low temperatures, and when it is cultivated in water below 20 degrees, it does not even grow anymore.
White Banyan Tree
Alias: Anubias barteri var.nana "albino"
Difficulty: Medium to hard
Family: Genus Asteraceae
Growth rate: very slow
Whether you need to add CO2:YES
White banyan is an artificially improved aquatic plant, a new variety modified by Japanese professionals from marble fig. Its leaves are all white in color, but because the albino gene is not stable, most individuals still have some green leaves, and pure white plants are very rare. Because of the serious lack of chlorophyll in the leaves, the growth of the plant is also very slow, it is easy to breed algae on the surface of the leaves, and the demand for carbon dioxide is relatively high, and there are certain difficulties in breeding.
Marble banyan tree
Alias: Anubias barteri "marble"
Banyan is a new species of Banyan ficus that has undergone natural genetic mutations. Its leaves are oval in shape, and the bright green background color has a marble-like white marking, and the pattern is not fixed, kaleidoscopic, and it is quite ornamental. Most of the lines are white, and a few are pale green, and some leaves do not have white markings on the surface, which is no different from ordinary figs. The requirements for the breeding environment are not high, and it is relatively easy to breed.
Stardust Banyan Tree
Aliases: Star Banyan, Anubias nana "stardust"
The Stardust Fig is an artificially modified aquatic weed that is a new species that Singaporeans have improved from the Fig. The color of the middle leaf veins is all white, especially the new leaves, and several branch veins above the main trunk can also see the obvious white. The surface of the leaves is scattered with some small spots, which are like star fragments in the night sky under the white radial veins, so it is called stardust fig. It is the same as that of ordinary figs.
Alias: Anubias nana "variegated"
Fig is an artificially modified aquatic weed, a new variety that singaporean professionals have improved from ordinary figs. Its leaves have obvious white dotted patches, which are very rare in aquatic weeds. There is a similar variant called Banyan Macula, which is very similar to Banyan alba, except that the spot color is yellow. Both aquatic weeds are relatively simple in cultivation. Similar to ordinary banyan trees.
Golden Banyan Tree
Alias: Anubias nana "golden"
Golden Fig is a new variety that is selected and improved from the variants of ordinary fig. Its water leaves are golden yellow, and the new leaves are particularly pronounced. The color of the leaves in the water is yellowish green, and the gold is not very obvious. The cultivation of golden fig is the same as that of ordinary fig, and there is no obvious difference. Because the leaves are slow to grow, there may be algae attached, so you need to scrub the leaf surface frequently, and also raise some algae removers to help clean up.
Banyan steel
Aliases: Connrong, Anubias congensis
Difficulty: Medium
Suitable water quality: PH 6.0-7.5, GH 2-15
Fig is a monocotyledon native to West Africa and is a watery aquatic plant. Its watery leaves are dark green , broadly lanceolate , with a greenish-brown petiole. The shape of the water leaves is similar to that of the water leaves, the color is yellow-green, and there are no leaf ears. The special feature of the banyan is that the leaves are very stiff, much like terrestrial plants, not like ordinary aquatic plants. Culture is the same as that of ordinary figs, but is less tolerant of high temperatures. Because the leaves are slow to grow, there may be algae attached, so you need to scrub the leaf surface frequently, and also raise some algae removers to help clean up. It is not suitable for tying to sunken wood or rocks, and should be planted in a well-breathable sandy bottom bed, and buried root fertilizer can promote its growth.
Pocket fig
Aliases: Anubias petite, Anubias sp." petite”
Suitable water quality: PH 5.0-8.0, GH 2-12
Suitable water temperature: 20-30 degrees
Fig is a modified variety with smaller plants than mini figs, with rounded leaves the size of fingernail caps, smooth leaves, pale green leaves, and slightly darker old leaves. The roots are more developed and are suitable for tying on sunken wood and stone. Due to the very slow growth, it is not usually necessary to prune frequently, but it is easy to attach algae to the leaf surface. If algae grows on the leaves, it can be soaked in diluted bleach or citric acid for a short time and rinsed clean. The water temperature and water quality requirements are not high, and it is easy to breed.
