What is wabi kusa?

The term ‘wabi’ refers to the aesthetic of simplicity, rustic beauty and modesty. ‘Kusa’ simply means plant. In wabi kusa, aquarium plants grow in emerse form (above water) in substrate material, such as soil or gravel. The plants are generally small to medium sized and require little care to thrive in this setting.
