It is suggested that people keep aquarium plants in their places because they are really very important in creating a balance in the environment through the exchange of gases necessary in the process of respiration. As such, they are very helpful in maintaining a proper gas exchange balance in their environment. However, these plants also require special attention in terms of supplying sufficient CO2, adequate lighting and algae for regulation.

Aquarium plants, as already mentioned, require an adequate supply of gases, lighting and food with appropriate minerals, and care and attention. The most important requirement is adequate light supply, which in most cases is the dilemma for which such plants die early. The reason is that the artificial lighting system that is present in the houses is not strong enough to provide the amount of light parallel to their needs. Therefore, these plants suffer from poor health and die at an early stage of life without thriving much.

It is suggested to provide yellow-green light spectrum in houses, so that the requirement of your lighting needs is met. Even so, you also have to know how long the light should be provided according to the needs and requirements of the plants.

It should also be noted that the intensity of the light should not be too high so that it burns the plants, or too low so that the plants cannot satisfy their needs. Aquarium plant specialists suggest that the lighting time for these plants should be 12 hours per day at normal light intensity.

Known aquarium plants include Hornwort, Java Moss, Dwarf Anubis, Java Fern, Water Sprite, Anacharis/Elodea, Amazon Sword, Dwarf Lily, Wendi, Banana Plant, and Rotala Macrandra. However, keeping plants such as Mondo Grass, Purple Waffle, Aluminum Plant or Peace Lilies is not recommended as they require a large open area and will die if planted in aquariums.
