Which aquarium plants fit your tank?
Tell the finder how strong your light is, whether you add CO₂, how much experience you have and where the plant should go. It lists every plant in the catalog whose source ratings fit those conditions.

How the finder decides
Light: a plant fits when the lowest light its source rates it for is no stronger than your light. A plant rated for low light also fits a medium or high light tank; a plant rated for high light only does not fit a low light tank.
CO₂: without added CO₂ the finder shows only plants whose source says they do not need it. Plants that the source says grow better with CO₂ are left out, because the finder does not promise more than the source.
Experience: beginner shows plants rated easy, some experience adds plants rated medium, and any shows everything, including difficult plants.
Where the ratings come from
Every rating is the one on the plant's own page, taken from the shop plant profiles and, where it publishes the same plant, from Tropica. When a source gives a range, the catalog keeps the end that promises less, so a plant rated easy to moderate counts as medium here.
