Foreground plants

Foreground plants ensure a neat, harmonious look in the aquarium and form the basis for natural layouts. They grow flat, compactly, and form carpet-like structures that visually enlarge the aquarium and provide clear zoning.

Whether delicate ground cover plants like Hemianthus callitrichoides (Cuba) or robust plants like Sagittaria subulata , foreground plants add detail and vitality to the lower part of your aquarium. They play a key role, especially in aquascapes and nano aquariums.

Our wide selection offers you both easy-care varieties for beginners and demanding plants for high-tech layouts with CO₂ and strong lighting.

✅ Your advantages with foreground plants:

  • Carpet-forming growth for dense ground planting
  • Ideal for nano aquariums & aquascapes
  • Optical depth & structure in the pool
  • Can be combined with medium and tall plant species
  • Wide selection – from slow-growing to fast-spreading

💡 Tip: For an even carpet, it is recommended to divide the plant into small portions and plant them with some distance between them.
