Amazon Jungle Giant Monsterio on Log Aquarium Plant

Large split-leaf monstera foliage on a moulded log. The leaf shape is unusual in an aquarium — broad, deeply cut and instantly recognisable — which is why one plant does more visual work here than three ordinary stem plants.

The 15cm is a midground piece at 290g. The 25cm is a different proposition: 615g and wide with it, the heaviest plant in the range after the Cardamine Tree. It is a single-feature plant for a tank of 3 feet or more — in anything smaller it will dominate.

Features

• Two sizes — 15cm (290g) and 25cm (615g)
• Split-leaf monstera form — a leaf shape nothing else in the range repeats
• Heavy log base — the 25cm stays put even in strong flow
• No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it

Care

Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.

Worth knowing

Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
