    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    Can I do the same with Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae and Echinodorus tenellus?

    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    Thanks mate, didn't know that. NO3 shouldn't be the problem, I'm over 30ppm/week. I'll add some extra CO2 and start trimming agressively, this did the trick with the stem plants too.

    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    The trimming improved growth well, lot's of new leaves. I'm also slowly adding more light to increase growth rate (keeping in mind the nutritients of course). The Rotala is doing well too, beuautiful leaves (although they tend to grow slightly towards the front, lol?). I do have a "problem"...

    Hygrophila polysperma Rosanervig

    Hi Mark I had the same problem but new leaves are forming where the old ones dropped off. Be sure to check whether the rotting leaves are emersive or submersive, the plants might be in transition. Cheers, Gilles

    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    I trimmed the Hygro and I can now see small, submersive leaves forming at the tops. The Rotala is doing fine although some stems do have signs of CO2 deficiency. I think this was the result of poor CO2 when I was still adjusting at the very beginning. The other Rotala stems which are growing at...

    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    I'll trim them today and see how everything goes. So far I can see the glosso and Eleocharis growing too. Actually, all of the plants are growing, just very slow. I'll probably remove the lower, emersive parts of the Rotala and plant the submersive tops too. By the way, can irregular dosing of...

    Emersive to submersive: how to promote growth?

    Hi My plants are slowly adapting to submersive life: old leaves dying off and new leaves slowly (!) growing. Is there a way to promote growth even further? Should I start trimming? My Hygro is now almost reaching the water surface but most of the leaves are still emersive. Best regards, Gilles

    HC help!

    I think the problem is CO2. Your spray bar is positioned at the left side and the co2 bubbles could possible not reach the HC, which is located at the right side at the bottom. It is better to put the spray bar at the back because back-->front is much shorter than left-->right. The bubbles will...
