Behind the layout
David Braun’s Green Swamp brings seven plant varieties into a shallow 24-litre display. Moss, Anubias and Bucephalandra combine with Hydrocotyle and Hygrophila around cork, stone and branching wood.
The original setup is recorded without added CO₂. Its compact scale makes the relationship between hardscape and small-leaved planting especially useful to study in the planting plan.
