WHAT DID YOU FIRST DO WHEN YOU GOT THE PLANTS? I BOUGHT 3 POTS THE I SEPARATED THEM INTO SMALL PIECES THEN PLANTED THEM WITH TONGS! BUT AFTER A WEEK THE PLANTS WAS MELTING SO BAD! THERE ARE SOME LEFT BUT MOST OF THEM ARE DYING! I NEED HELP/TIPS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE THEIR GROWTH! REPLY BACK AS SOON AS YOU CAN THANKS!!!!
@HAZ428 That's actually a white pebble from the substrate that's under the eco-complete. In my experience it sounds like mold or fungus, something that will usually go away on it's own if fully submerged.
Hey thanx for the response and yah I went to APC and posted. I asked for help at TPT a while back to no avail. The APC post is titled " HC HELP...Hi tuvix72!"
Maybe you misuderstand. The fixture has two 18 watt bulbs and i use two fixtures on the 30 gallon tank. Sorry if i didn't explain properly. Still think it's the light intesnsity?
@jdub7771 so 4x18W... that's 2.4WPG... not a "LOT" of light, but certainly enough to grow HC. Certainly intensity effects growth pattern and I've seen non carpeting stem plants grow horizontal under enough light, but hopefully you are able to "train" yours to grow more horizontal by constantly trimming the vertical stems. In reality I just don't know enough about your setup to get a good idea, you should come over to APC and start a thread about this and we can get into more detail if you like.
That's cool! Why does my HC always grow straight up? My drop checker is yellowish-green, I dose ferts(E.I.) light is 2 t5 (n.o.) 18 watts each over a 30 gallon tank. Suggestions? Everything else grows beautifully.
@ikelleners Thanks for the reply. Right after this video I added another fixture to that tank and the HC turned into a carpet monster, overtaking the whole foreground! It's been great ever since.
@zerocool212121 You can take a look at the link in the information section, you should be able to recognize the plant if you know what to look for. Not sure what is so "sad" about incorrectly identifying a plant... it happens all the time to the best of us... but you are wrong on this one my friend... You're probably just not used to seeing it this close up. Best Regards.
@d2jsp911 Kids... always open their mouths before they think ;-) JK... Take a closer look, glosso has a lot longer leaf stem and is quite a lot bigger. You're looking at about a 3:1 macro ratio, those are eco-complete pebbles just to give you some perspective.
How do you grow Hemianthus callitrichoides under water so well? I having problem of growing it, it turn to darker green and slowlier weaker and smaller then dissapear T.Teven i use co2 and also fertilization. Inorder to save species i plant it submerged, and it grow well submerged. somebody help me !please
Used Canon Remote Capture software to control the camera. Took a regular photo every hour for 6 days then converted to a video using Animation Shop. Actually took a photo every minute but it was too many, only used every 60th photo...

@jdub7771 Sounds like light intensity may be your problem... but keep cutting back the vertical stems, that alone can go a long way.
tuvix72 1 year ago
@jdub7771 Usually, plants start to reach for light if it is a bit low wattage....
Stronger lights, make plants stay lower....
