Hi All,
Last weekend Dan and i made a trip to Aquajardin nr glos,whilst we were there we had a very interesting conversation with Edward (store mgr)who gave me some rotala rotundifolia cuttings some four months earlier,i mentioned to him that it grows very well but i cant seem to get the nice pinky/red colour like his,he said that he has found that by reducing the kno3 levels he has found the plant goes very red,my local tap water is loaded with N and P so i only dose very lean anyway.So one week on without any doseing of Kno3 the rotala is now turning a lovely pinky/red colour.i wonder if this would be the same with other red plants ? regards john.
