I have cryptocoryne wendtii growing as a foreground at the moment as higher carpet, looking fab. I s this too high for you? :?:

Even the easy ones produce a huge difference when provided optimal conditions so just stock up on those and change into different ones as time goes by. Red plants can be quite demanding so lighting and ferts may have to be optimal. I have experienced an extraordinary transformation with crypts...

Thanks for the offer, may have to take you up on it. I truly doubt it's going to grow, I had a look at a photo I took on arrival and it seems to have shrunk. I got it last October and it has never shown signs of life unfortunately. Surely the dormant periods shouldn't last this long... :( I...

Oh. my bulbs have never floated.... I think I might have a duff bulb... :roll:

Thanks for that,to me the bulb doesnt look very vital. It is mostly still firm and has a couple of root tips visible so perhaps there is hope... I know it is a zenkeri since it is a tropica variety from the TGM. My worry is it has been dormant ever since I received it last year, perhaps it...

I have sort of decided not to get one, I have a Tropica Nymphaea Zenkeri bulb that has never grown leaves so will plant it again and see... I would probably get another tropica one if this one doesn't take, we'll see. :|

Hi all, I have just come back from my local MA and they were selling red leaved nymphaea species as bulbless leaves with some roots on. They had one growing in their tropical display tank and it seemed fine but I'm a bit dubious. I thought waterlilies needed the bulbs to have energy to grow...

Wow, quite interesting plant then,full of surprises. Iwould be very happy with 40 cm plant since that is about the height of the tank plus substrate... :wink:

I have never been able to grow egeria densa... it just disappears to nothing in my tanks both here and back home in Finland... I have some limnophila sessiliflora and hygrophila polysperma in the tank so with any luck I should be ok. I'm dosing carefully with TPN+ and easy carbo and the mature...

Thanks for that! I have recently moved and have set up a new tank with a mature filter and just want easy and fast growing plants to help the transition. I will see what comes out of this plant, hopefully it will grow nice and fast at first with the other stems until the tank is mature enough to...

I have just bought two pots of fantastic specimens of this plant. I have read that it's max size is 15 cm and am wondering if this is true. I love the look of it but can't fully decide on the placement until I get a confirmation. Any info is appreciated. :wink:

I will do,I havent got a flotig tray but will see if I can improvise something from a plastic bag and fruit container! :roll:

I'll plant the bulb and will give it some time. It's been squished to about 5 mm so won't have too high hopes... I popped the moss in a pint glass with some tank water but it is a right mess with only very small pieces about. Will let it soak for a while and see whether there is hope for it. It...

I have just received my order from aquatic magic. I think the international postal services are using a mangle since my zenkeri bulb has been crushed. My question is, is the bulb ruined or will it grow if I plant it? It is solid still and not rotting... what a pain in the bottom... Also I...

This plant is settling quite nicely into my tank but has lost a few of its delicate leaves due to transportation. It has visible growth already and reminds me of hygrophila polysperma. It is looking like an ideal plant for a new set up!

I suppose I'll have to wait and see! My tank is so new that weeds are serving a very good purpose at the moment anyway! I like the pinky stems but otherwise it is difficult to say anymore at the moment. The stems are kind of twisted from transport and the leaves seem a bit delicate, it's a...

Anyone have experience of this plant? My friend gave me a pot of this and it is now floating in the tank. Info is very confusing, some sources say it is difficult plant, some say it is easy, some say it needs loads of light and some say it will be ok in lower lighting levels too. It's going in...
