Walstad Plants

The 'Walstad Method' is an aquarium setup popularised by Diana Walstad in her book 'Ecology of the Planted Aquarium' and heavily reproduced in online forums and other texts.

Walstad devises a method for organic, basic setup aquaria which rely on plants to do the work you'd typically use a filter for. Here is our selection of plants suitable for use with this method, typically categorised by fast growth and/or lower light tolerance.
