Temperature play a important role in the growth of aquarium plants since metabolism is affected by the temperature but the needs of specific fish can vary. So temperature check is important especially when our climatic conditions also changes.

A temp of 75 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit is best for tropical fishes and aquatic plants.

Most aquatic plants will require temperature between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but more heat means the plants will have a higher metabolic rate and grow faster.

I feel like many people don’t put too much effort into checking freshwater plants for the water temperature unless the plant is melting (due to high or cold heat) as they do with corals for saltwater tanks.

That's a really good point.

Anything between 70 and 80 degrees would be beneficial to the plants but it would be wise to keep an eye on the plants and also an eye on the temperature that you are using as well as most plants tend to thrive off the heat and that can often lead to the plants growing a lot faster and potentially taking over your tank.

Consider your aquarium a cozy spa for plants. They like it warm but not sauna-level! Keep the water between 70-80°F to avoid a plant mutiny or an overgrowth that turns your tank into a jungle. Remember: happy plants, happy fish! Temperature checks are essential. Think of them as the aquatic version of checking the oven when baking—a little deviation, and suddenly, your beautiful aquatic garden is either melting or growing like it's on steroids. Stay cool, and your tank will too! 🌿🐠
