aquarium horticulture

Aquarium horticulture refers to the practice of cultivating aquatic plants in an aquarium setting. It involves selecting suitable plant species that can thrive underwater, providing them with the right substrate, light, nutrients, and water conditions. These plants not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of aquariums but also improve water quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Additionally, they can provide habitats for fish and other aquatic life. Understanding the needs of aquatic plants is essential for creating a balanced and healthy ecosystem within the aquarium.
