Important Announcement

It is with great pride and excitement that today we announce the launch of our new shop, here at plantedbox.com!

Mark and James have been working hard behind the scenes over the last few months to bring together a friendly, affordable, easy to use online shop with a few products that we use within our tanks, including a full range of Aquatic Plants by AquaFleur, hardscape materials, substrates and more. This selection of products will also grow over time, so if there is something you’re interested in, please ask.

Our main aim has always been to help others and really show what is possible with planted aquaria, and with the opening of shop@plantedbox we hope the site will be better funded so we can share more information, add more staff, and extend the main website further.

We’d like to thank all those involved in helping us get the shop open, including suppliers, and pre-opening customers. We love you guys :)

- Mark Evans & James Maslin

Planting Lilaeopsis

Filed under Tips & Techniques // 3 Comments »

Aquafleurs Lilaeopsis Novea-Zealandiae is outstanding in terms of quality and density. My first attempt at planting Lilaeopsis resulted in stray plantlets without roots being strewn all around my front room. I had to find a sensible way of planting this, especially when planting 18 pots of the stuff!

Now, I must stress there is nothing official about what I’m showing you, it just worked for me, and the results in my tank show that the plant grows well when split in this way. Of course, if using this plant in a 60cm aquarium, you could endeavour to take the time to split it even finer still.
