So I made an impulse purchase of Purple Cabomba during my last LFS trip.
I really love it. I planted it in my 55g. It's been all of 3 days. But I have been doing some research, and pretty worried my tank is not suitable. Eeks. I hate watching plants die.
I dose liquid carbon daily. Not in a financial position to change to a canister system. I use liquid ferts, Flourish, 2-3 times a week and dose Iron weekly. I am running a dual T5HO for about 7 hrs. That may change. Have to see algae growth and such.
It's a Rainbow tank. With a brush nosed Pleco and 2 assassin snails.
So here is the actual question, when I planted the 2 bunches, they did not have visible roots. Should I unplant and allow them to float until I see roots? Or will they grow planted? Or am I doomed?
The other plants in this tank are doing great.
My Rainbows love the plant. As do I.
