The shining beautiful plants are ofcourse from .nl 💚

I wish we all had the strength and will of this cryptocoryne parva to the left thats is sending out runners and growing even though the substrate is just sand and about 3mm thick!

Filipe António Alves de Oliveira, (1975 - 2023) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials This online memorial is dedicated to Filipe António Alves de Oliveira. It is a place to celebrate his life by sharing fond memories, photos, music and more.

I got so many questions about the background plants and compliments on how well they blend.
My secret is that
Juncus Repens and Cyperus Helferi were very wise suggested to me by Filipe Oliveira 🤍
I added the beautiful nymphaea pygmaea Alba and the cryptocoryne balansae later.

I said i really like something similar to his 90cm or the 180cm at Aquaflora. Beautiful, natural, kind of low maintenance.

He replied

'I have my rhythm... I stopped rushing things. 😅
Maybe it's the age... But, I leave nature take it's time and enjoy more the small things.'
