Had a little surprise today this!
Beautiful purple flowers!
Have a few stems of Hygrophila pinnatifida in this little glass tank....didn't think it would do much as it gets very hot at times!
Its been plagued by little black flies?
Substrate is John Innes no3 plus inert aquatic gravel on the bottom...mixed in some Osmocote into the JIN3.
There is a few stems of Rotala rotundifolia in there also!
The glass lid didn't fit properly to cover the whole top, so used a clear plastic bag and a couple of large elastic band to keep the moisture in!
I think the substrate would be better with a Aquatic type...maybe Colombo Flora base!
Cheers
