Dennerle - Experience nature……
….for 50 years already! In one of his first catalogues, company founder Ludwig Dennerle used the following words to de-
scribe it:
“The hustle and bustle in this day and age makes us restless and unhappy, which is why we urgently need to find a good
work-life balance.
You have made the right choice: after work and on weekends your hobby helps you to relax. It can give you so much joy to
sit in front of your aquarium and just watch the interesting activities of its inhabitants; or to talk shop and discuss some
topics with a couple of friends.”
This may be a text back from the 60s, but its core statement is still true. There’s nothing more relaxing than to watch the
plants and animals in an aquarium after a stressful day in today’s fast-moving and overstimulated world. To us, the ecolo-
gical balance plays a crucial role in such a confined habitat.
To experience nature is also our motivation for our Plantahunter tours – regardless of whether we travel local waters
or tropical habitats far away. This years’ tour took us to India – a huge country with extreme contrasts. The fascinating
photos don’t always show the truth of such a journey: overpopulation, poverty and environmental degradation dominate
the image of this unfortunately no longer ideal part of the world. Nevertheless, this journey had been full of unbelievable
botanical impressions and we are proud to be able to present many new plant species from India. One of many highlights
is the endemic miniature fern Crepidomanes malabaricum – a true gem from the mountains of Western Ghats in south-
western India.

Plants from A – Z
Water is the origin of all life. Aquatic plants are the origin of our company.
Aquarium plants are at the heart of our work. They are the most sensitive element in the water. They are not only an indi-
cator of water quality and a requirement for healthy fish, but also the key to well-functioning aquatic worlds. Those who
look into the secrets of aquatic plants, gain access to the universe of the aquatic world.
In January 2016, we travelled the federal state of Kerala in Southwestern India. A particular highlight was the exploration
of the miniature fern Crepidomanes malabaricum in its natural habitat. However, we were also thrilled and enchanted by
Eriocaulon breviscapum or a small-growing species of Microsorum pteropus. Be ready for interesting Cryptocorynes for
the background, endemic stem plants of the Hygrophila and Rotala species, new plantit-species, plant pads and attractive
decorative items and much more that will grab your attention on the next pages, both in text and image.
And now enjoy reading about your and our “favourites”.

Decorative novelties - for a natural look
Roots with suction cups are exciting decoration elements in an aquarium. The new Nanowood suckers are the logical
further development for Nano Cubes and other small aquaria. Another highlight is Bucephalandra spec.´Wavy Leaf´ on a
root – an endemic aroid from Borneo. This little beauty just loves to grow on roots or stones.

Near-natural design with mosses
The new moss portions are perfectly suited for individual and
natural-looking layouts. Thus, stones, roots and other decora-
tive elements can be grassed in an attractive way. Spread the
moss pads across the surface and tie them with a thin fishing
line – and you’re done!
