However, in such a conventional aquarium landscape model, aquatic plants and the like, which are the materials for the landscape, grow too quickly or wither, which makes pruning and replanting difficult. In order to solve some of these problems, artificial water plants made of plastic may be planted, but in this case, it does not grow too much or withers, so it does not take much time, but the same plastic will be used forever. There was a big drawback that I got tired of looking at artificial water plants. In addition, it has been proposed to use artificial flowers and props for each season, but since these are composed of paper, cloth, clay, wood, etc., they elute or discolor when used for a long time in water.
