What are aquarium plants without substrate?
Substrate-free aquarium plants are plants that thrive and grow in an aquarium without the need for a specialized substrate. Unlike some aquarium plants that require specific nutrients and a nutrient-rich substrate, these plants thrive in most standard aquarium substrates, such as sand or gravel. They have the unique characteristic of obtaining their nutrients primarily from the water and therefore do not require a complex substrate.
