Plant Dictionary 🌿

Aqua Diary has gained a powerful new feature — the Plant Dictionary, an interactive database of aquatic plants designed for aquarists of all experience levels. It allows you to quickly browse information about hundreds of plant species and check which of them will thrive best in your aquarium.

🌱 What can you find in the Plant Dictionary?

Every plant has its own dedicated species page containing, among others:

• the full scientific name and any alternative names,
• botanical classification (family, genus, order, botanical group),
• description and information about natural habitat,
• difficulty level and growth rate,
• information on emersed growth,
• preferred environmental conditions:
  • lighting requirements,
  • pH, KH and temperature,
  • CO₂ demand and fertilization needs (NPK and micronutrients),
• propagation methods,
• roles and usage in aquascaping (e.g., foreground plant, background plant, color-accent plant, suitable for nano tanks),
• image galleries in multiple sizes and formats.

This information helps you choose plants consciously and effectively — whether you are running a simple low-tech setup or a demanding high-tech planted aquarium.

🔎 Advanced search and filtering

The Plant Dictionary comes with a powerful search engine that allows you to find the ideal species based on:

• difficulty level (easy, medium, difficult),
• environmental requirements (e.g., low-tech friendly, high-tech only),
• lighting needs,
• aquascaping role (midground, foreground, background),
• aesthetic or functional purpose (e.g., color accent, nano plant).

Thanks to this, you can display plants that perfectly match your aquarium style and your level of experience — all within seconds.

🪴 Adding plants to your aquarium

When adding a plant to one of your aquariums in Aqua Diary, you can use the Plant Dictionary to:

1. quickly search for a plant by name,
2. add it to your tank’s plant list with a single click,
3. access all information about the species directly from your aquarium journal.

The Plant Dictionary becomes a practical, everyday tool that supports you while maintaining your aquarium — no more guessing or remembering plant requirements. All data stays at your fingertips.

🔍 “Plant compatibility with your aquarium”

One of the most important new features is the ability to check plant compatibility with your aquarium.

If you track in Aqua Diary:

• water test results,
• target parameters,
• hardness and pH,
• equipment information,
• CO₂ level,
• aquarium type and setup,

you can instantly see whether a chosen plant will have the right conditions to grow in your tank.

The system compares the plant’s requirements with your aquarium parameters and shows whether:

• 🔵 The plant is well suited,
• 🟡 It may require some adjustments,
• 🔴 It is not recommended for your current conditions.

This helps you avoid disappointment and unnecessary expenses, choosing only plants that have a real chance to thrive.

🌿 Why use the Plant Dictionary?

• It brings together botanical, practical and aquascaping data in one place.
• It makes planning plant layouts much faster.
• It helps you choose species that match your tank’s specific conditions.
• It integrates directly with your aquarium journal.
• It supports beginners and advanced aquarists alike.
