Aqua Natural Plant Pod Aquarium Plant Topper Assorted

Bring the lush beauty of nature to the top of your aquarium or terrarium with the Aqua Natural Plant Pod Aquarium Plant Topper Assorted. These premium hydroponic live plants are uniquely designed to sit at the water's edge, using a secure suction cup to suspend their roots directly into your tank. By drawing excess nutrients—such as nitrates and phosphates—straight from the water, they act as highly effective natural filters that drastically improve water quality, suppress unwanted algae growth, and foster a healthier environment for your fish.

Perfect for adding an extra vertical dimension to open-top setups, rimless aquariums, and humid paludariums, each plant arrives established in a specialized PlantPod basket. The lush foliage grows elegantly above the surface while the root system cascades below, providing vital shade, cover, and a dynamic jungle-like environment for surface-dwelling fish like Bettas and Gouramis.

Our hydroponic aquarium plant toppers include 5 inch plants from many of the following species:

• Aglaonema also called 'Chinese evergreens', are a wonderfully diverse and colourful range of leafy plants that are native to tropical and sub tropical areas in Asia.
• Pothos one of the most common; hardy, fast-growing, and excellent at removing toxins.
• Spathiphyllum often used in betta tanks; roots dangle in water while leaves stay above.
• Philodendron many varieties thrive with roots in water.
• Monstera works in larger tanks for dramatic effect.
• Syngonium – Adds bright color while filtering water.

For Aquariums: Place the suction cap and plant at the waters edge so the basket is about 1 inch in the water. The plants roots will grow down into the water.

For Terrariums: Plant with the basket or remove the basket and plant bare root into your substrate.
