Monoselenium tenerum... how do i plant it?

[Ben M]

hi, i received some Monoselenium tenerum that was kindly given to me by johnnypy (thank you) . but i'm not sure how to plant it. do i float it, or tie it to rock/wood? and will it grow well in my tank? it is 4ft, 216l and i dose 5mls of TPN+ daily. the lighting is 1.25wpg of t8's and i don't use co2.

cheers

Float or tie to something - it's pretty much a big riccia.

you can gently tie it to stone or wood.or just let it sink to the bottom.

here's quite a good article on it http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/monosolenium.html

thanks, that article was very helpful. i'll tie some to some wood and rocks, and i'll put some in not attached to anything, and see what happens.

Careful when tying it down, it breaks very easy sometimes its actually best to super glue it

thanks, i'll superglue some of it to some rocks, but i'll have to tie some, as i can't pull out a 10kg lump of bogwood, as it will uproot loads of my plants.
