All Aquatic Plants

Blackwater habitats around the globe mainly contain emergent plant growth - but a few aquarium appropriate plants have adapted to life in tannin stained waters. Our selection of H2O Plants here are a few of our favorites which we've grown over the years in our blackwater, biotope, and botanical method aquariums. We HIGHLY recommend signing up for back-in-stock notifications as we sell out of these quickly. Care should be taken to research how CO2, Light, and Nutrients are absorbed by plants in tinted water - we have a number of blogs on this topic we encourage you to read through!
