AquaNatura aquarium plant, plastic decorative plant, green, umbrella-shaped leaves, 12 cm

AquaNatura aquarium plant is a 12 cm tall plastic decorative plant with umbrella-shaped green leaves designed for freshwater and marine aquariums. It provides a realistic visual accent without affecting water chemistry or requiring maintenance like live plants. The compact size and stable base make it suitable for placement on substrate or among rocks and driftwood to create natural-looking aquascapes or to conceal equipment.

Advantages

This artificial aquarium plant retains its color and shape over time and does not shed leaves or decompose, ensuring long-lasting decoration. Being made from plastic, it is low-maintenance—no trimming, fertilizing, or special lighting required. It is inert in water, so it will not change pH or release substances that could affect fish or invertebrates. The umbrella-shaped leaves give a distinctive silhouette that adds depth and variety to aquarium layouts.

Suitable for

• Freshwater community tanks and planted-style displays where a low-maintenance accent is desired
• Marine and reef-touch aquaria for decorative elements outside live-coral areas
• Biotope setups where a non-living substitute is needed for aesthetic reasons
• Background or midground placement to hide heaters, filters, or airline tubing
• Tanks with fish or invertebrates that may damage or uproot live plants

Key specifications

• Material: durable plastic suitable for aquarium use
• Height: 12 cm
• Leaf shape: umbrella-shaped leaves for a compact, rounded appearance
• Color: green, UV-stable pigments to resist fading
• Base: weighted or stable design for placement on substrate without tipping

How to use

Rinse the plastic plant under running water before placing it into the aquarium to remove any dust or residues from packaging. Position the plant in the desired location on the substrate, among rockwork, or next to decorations; press the base gently into fine gravel or sand to secure it. Avoid placing the plant directly against filters or pumps where strong flow could dislodge it. For marine tanks, ensure the plant does not contact live corals to prevent abrasion or shading.

Usage recommendations

Clean periodically by removing the plant from the tank and rinsing with warm water; for stubborn algae, soak briefly in a diluted aquarium-safe cleaning solution or use a soft brush. Do not use soap or household detergents. Inspect regularly for accumulated debris and reposition as needed to maintain aquascape balance.
