Aquarium Advice Addict
I've been growing just about every scrap of plant that I kick out of my 125G as an emersed growth specimen to see how it does and I've found a few that do well. I'll note that I'm only using a south-facing window (no electric light) and ADA Aqausoil (why not, I had extra) with a peat base and some natural Colorado soil. The plants are (for the most part) doing well, but growing quite slowly. Here are a few top-down pics:
Some Pogostemon helferi "Downoi" that seems to do quite well emersed:
A pic I liked of H. verticellata creeping through the substrate. H. leucocephala also seems to love emersed growth:
I've seen some of you having much better luck with emersed growth plants and I was wondering if someone would share the secret as to how to get them to grow quickly. I'm guessing that I need more light and possibly some sort of CO2 method. Halp!!
