Staurogyne

[Maloney]

I would like some of this as a foreground plant, Green Machine sell it ,but they are quite large , can I split these into smaller plants to form a carpet ? If so any advice on this ?

 

[Steve Smith]

A pot will generally split into about 5 to 10 stems. For perspective, I used just under 4 pots in my nano, but I think I could of stretched 3 pots:

thanks for the advice, you have yours tied to rocks , but i have seen this plant in the substrate too,are both methods acceptable?

Yeah they do ok in substrate. Tom Barr (plant brain) has it in one of his journals on here and John starkeys 450 litre journal has it in at the end of his journal. On my phone so can't link to them sorry.....

 

[Maloney]

yes, the 2g work tank in the journals section has these in the gravel, and the pic above ,attached to rock so i think your right, i think ill order a pot or two, thanks for your input

I had grown them emersed and submersed on lava rock with ease as long as your CO2 and fert regime is up to standard.

They grow fine in the water, outside the water, on rock wood or planted, even floating. Amazing plant!

go for tropica 12grow staurogyne when you buy - it's so much easier than messing round with rockwool and the portion sizes are great! M
