Aquarium decoration plant Terra Natura Aqua Natura plastic 28 cm purple-green – forest algae and finger-like leaves

Terra Natura Aqua Natura plastic aquarium plant 28 cm in purple-green tones reproduces the appearance of forest algae with elongated, finger-like leaves. Made for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, this decorative plant offers a realistic visual element and functional cover for fish and invertebrates without altering water chemistry. Its 28 cm height and flexible plastic material allow it to be placed among rocks, wood or substrate to complement aquascapes and create layered planting effects.

Advantages

This artificial aquarium plant retains color and shape over time and requires no maintenance such as pruning or fertilizing. Being plastic, it does not decompose or change tank parameters, making it suitable for sensitive setups. The flexible leaves and natural purple-green coloration provide depth and contrast in the aquarium, while the 28 cm size is large enough to create hiding spaces and focal points without occupying excessive tank volume.

Suitable for

• Freshwater community and planted-style tanks where artificial decor is preferred
• Saltwater and reef aquariums as a non-organic decorative element (place away from corals that require water flow)
• Breeding, hospital, or quarantine tanks needing visual cover and stress reduction for fish
• Aquascaping projects to add color contrast and vertical structure

Key specifications

• Material: durable, aquarium-safe plastic
• Color: purple-green tones with naturalistic gradient
• Height: approximately 28 cm
• Leaf shape: elongated, finger-like leaves resembling forest algae
• Compatibility: suitable for both freshwater and saltwater tanks; inert, does not affect water chemistry
• Mounting: weighted base or stem suitable for insertion into substrate or placement among hardscape (verify when installing)

How to use

Rinse the plant thoroughly with aquarium water or dechlorinated tap water before first use to remove any dust from packaging. Place the plant by inserting its stem or weighted base into the substrate, or position it between rocks and driftwood to achieve the desired composition. Combine with live or artificial plants to create depth; avoid forcing the plant into tight crevices that could damage the leaves. Periodically inspect for algae buildup or debris and rinse gently when necessary.

Usage recommendations

Do not use household detergents or solvents when cleaning. For saltwater setups, rinse with tank water to avoid introducing foreign ions. Position the plant to allow adequate water flow around it to prevent stagnant zones; if used in breeding or quarantine tanks, ensure there is still sufficient space for water exchange and observation of fish.
