Canna – Coco
from £11.95 – Click to open the Shop
After years of research into potting mixes, drainage and leaf analyses, CANNA has succeeded in being the first to develop a fertiliser that is specifically tailored to the characteristics of cocos substrates. CANNA COCO is composed of high value minerals and, in addition to this, CANNA COCO contains natural chelates, humic and fulvic acids which give the plant optimum nutrient absorption.
Growers throughout the world have been enthusiastic for years about CANNA COCO’s explosive growth and profuse flowering. Thanks to the COCO medium’s unique buffering qualities CANNA COCO nutrients are used for both the growth and flowering phases.
CANNA COCO is a complete professional nutrient for plants containing all the essential elements for optimal growing and flowering. CANNA COCO can be used for the growing and blooming phase if it is used in combination with a quality COCO substrate growing medium (like CANNA COCO) due to the fact that it will interact with the growing medium. CANNA COCO is easy to use dissolves directly and is extremely suitable for growing in pots or with ”run to waste” systems.

Canna – Hydro Flores

from £11.95
A direct availability and a correct composition of nutrients play a crucial role during the plant’s blooming phase. HYDRO FLORES stimulates the fruitification and contains all the nutrients that the plant needs during this phase.
During the blooming phase considerable less nitrogen is needed for example, but an increased need for potassium and phosphor occurs. In addition, HYDRO FLORES’ unique formula is rich in chelated trace elements in a directly absorbable form. This results in an exuberant bloom

Canna – Hydro Vega
from £11.95
In the beginning of the growth phase, the plant lays the foundation for its eventual yield. Characteristics of a healthy and powerful growth are vital side shoots and a luxuriant root development.
Hydro Vega is developed especially to fulfil the plant’s needs optimally during this phase. HYDRO VEGA is applied to all types of inert mediums.
A complete absorption of nutrients and water is guaranteed from the beginning of the cultivation because HYDRO VEGA is rich in directly absorbable nitrogen compounds, high quality EDDHA iron chelates and trace elements.

Canna – Aqua Flores
from £11.95
Aqua Flores is a complete professional nutrient for fast growing plants containing all the essential elements for optimal flowering. Aqua Flores stimulates the fruition and provides every plant with its characteristic flavour. Aqua Flores is easy to use, dissolves directly and is extremely suitable for growing with re-circulating hydroponic systems. Aqua Flores nutrition also contains pH-stabilisers, silicon, humic and fulvic acids.
Aqua Flores fulfils the plant’s changing needs now that blooming has begun. During the blooming phase considerably less nitrogen is needed, but there is an increased need for potassium and phosphor.
Aqua Flores is not only rich in these compounds, such as silicic acids, humus acids and fulvic acids, which
results in the plant being able to optimally absorb all nutrients, but also in directly absorbable chelated trace elements, which results in an exuberant bloom.

Tropica Plant Substrate
Tropica Plant Substrate acts as a long term nutrition store for aquarium plants, so ensuring magnificent and healthy plant growth. It is a natural concentrate of clay and sphagnum, laid at the bottom of the gravel layer when you build your aquarium. Clay and sphagnum slowly release nutrients to your aquarium plant roots and binds nutrition from the water into the bottom layer. Removing nutrition from water reduces the risk of undesirable algae growth.
Use :-
Tropica Plant Substrate is laid in a 1 cm thick layer on the bottom of the aquarium, when the aquarium is built.
A layer of gravel of minimum 3-4 cm thick is then laid over the substrate. The gravel acts as a barrier between the concentrated substrate and the water. Plants are planted in the gravel in the normal way and new roots quickly form. When planting, disturb the substrate as little as possible, to avoid clay and sphagnum particles being mixed into the water.
The table below provides recommended amounts for a number of standard aquarium sizes.
| Aquarium size (L) |
Depth x Width (cm) |
Recommended Substrate (L) |
|---|---|---|
| 63 | 30 x 60 | 1.80 |
| 85 | 35 x 70 | 2.45 |
| 128 | 40 x 80 | 3.20 |
| 180 | 40 x 100 | 4.00 |
| 250 | 50 x 100 | 5.00 |
| 325 | 50 x 130 | 6.50 |

Seachem – Flourite Black Sand™
Flourite Black Sand™ is a specially fracted, stable porous clay substrate for the natural planted aquarium. Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, but may be used in any aquarium environment. It s most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may be mixed with other gravels and sand. Substrate modifiers such as laterite are not necessary. As it is not chemically coated or treated, it will not alter the pH of the water.
Although pre-washed, it may be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling aquarium slowly and dispersing water so that the substrate bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours).
