Cura delle piante
Ecco come coltivare le piante del tuo acquario
Se NON ti prendi cura delle piante, queste diventeranno troppo grandi, si allargheranno ovunque tranne dove dovrebbero essere o cresceranno male. Con un po' di attenzione puoi curare le tue piante perfettamente. Dopotutto, le piante sono tra i più importanti abitanti dell’acquario!
Puoi davvero considerare il tuo acquario come un giardino: a parte l'annaffiare le piante, molte attività sono molto simili. Fare giardinaggio significa potare le piante, sfoltirle e rimuovere le foglie morte.
La potatura
Perhaps some of your plants are growing too high, even though they are not intended as background plants. You can easily trim these plants with scissors (e.g. JBL PROSCAPE TOOLS S DRITTA ). Protruding leaves, as with wild celery, need to be cut off at the base rather than simply cutting away the long leaves.
Thinning out:
Aquarium plants, like all plants, reach towards the light. Stem plants grow upwards and their lower part often loses their leaves, leaving the stem looking bare. Here you can trim off the upper part, remove the lower leafless part and replant the upper part. If plants are too close together, this effect also occurs.
Removing dead leaves:
Se fai lo snorkeling in acque tropicali vedrai a malapena il fondo, per tutte le foglie cadute che lo coprono. Nell'acquario, al contrario che in natura, abbiamo un volume d'acqua estremamente ridotto. Il processo di decomposizione di una singola foglia rilascia talmente tante sostanze nutritive all'acqua dell'acquario che possono crearsi delle alghe. Queste useranno le sostanze nutritive liberate come nutrimento. È dunque ASSOLUTAMENTE raccomandabile tagliare con una forbice le foglie morte dalla pianta sana e toglierle dell'acqua.
If you’d like leaves in your aquarium, we recommend dried leaves from the sea almond tree (Catappa). These leaves do decay over time, but they release a lot of useful ingredients into the aquarium water ( JBL Catappa XL and JBL Nano-Catappa ). Moreover, they are of tropical origin and thus much more natural than oak or other European leaves.
Dato che le tue piante non hanno solo bisogno di acqua e amore devi concedere loro anche minerali ed elementi traccia. Le sostanze contenute nell'acqua non sono sufficienti per far crescere le tue piante in modo sano e robusto.
Fertilising your aquarium plants involves three factors:
1. CO2 fertilisation: The staple food of all plants is carbon dioxide (CO2 gas), which can be added with the help of a CO2 fertiliser system (JBL PROFLORA CO2 system).
2. Liquid fertilisation: With the help of liquid fertiliser ( JBL PROFLORA Ferropol ) you can add all your weekly essential minerals to the aquarium water and your aquarium plants will then absorb the minerals. For sensitive and demanding plants, the basic fertiliser JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL can be supplemented with a daily fertiliser ( JBL PROFLORA Ferropol 24 ).
3. Root fertilisation: Almost all aquatic plants also absorb nutrients through their roots. JBL PROFLORA Ferropol Root was developed for this purpose. Insert a fertiliser tablet in the root area of the plant(s) every month. Half-yearly supplementation with clay minerals in ball form is highly recommended ( JBL PROFLORA Le 7 sfere ).
How do I get my plants to flourish in the aquarium?
All the factors needed for proper plant growth: light, LEDs, tubes, fertilisation, fertilisation amount, fertilisation check, interaction with water conditioners, chelated iron. Watch an experiment about checking the iron in the fertiliser. How to insert plants properly. How does fertilising in aquascaping aquariums differ from in normal aquariums? When is an NPK fertiliser useful?
Se ti prendi cura delle piante correttamente e le concimi, avrai solo bisogno della giusta illuminazione e di una fornitura di base del loro alimento principale, la CO2. A tale scopo sono disponibili il sistema di illuminazione JBL SOLAR e una gamma di impianti di fertilizzazione CO2.
The staple food of your aquarium plants: carbon dioxide (CO2)
For us humans, carbohydrates, fats and proteins form the basic building blocks of our diet. In all plants, CO2 corresponds to these elements and is therefore essential for plant growth. In photosynthesis, the plants can then process the CO2 with water under the influence of light energy into sugar (their food). This process releases oxygen, which all animal organisms need to breathe. In the aquarium water, a little CO2 is always present due to a concentration balance with the CO2 in our air. However, this low CO2 content is not sufficient for vigorous growth, for heavily planted aquariums and for more demanding plant species. With the help of a CO2 fertiliser system, you can add enough CO2 to the water to keep your plants perfectly supplied with their basic food.
Why do aquarium plants need a CO2 system?
If your aquarium plants aren’t growing perfectly, there must be a deficiency somewhere. Very often they lack their main nutrient CO2 (carbon dioxide). In this video we explain why plants need CO2 in the first place, why aquarium plants have different requirements and how to connect a JBL CO2 system.
