Glossostigma Elatinoides

[Sanj]

Hello,

has anyone grown this plant? any tips please.

I will be trying to grow it in a rio 400 2-3mm gravel mixed with JBL Florapol over JBL aqua basis.

Lighting will be 288 watts, 4x 54W T5s and 2x36w t8s.

It will have Co2 injection.

The tank is a Juwel Rio 400

I'm not sure what size a Juwel Rio 400 is, but with 288W of lighting, you can grow just about ANYTHING. Unless your tank is...1000g. High light and high CO2 brings out the best in this plant. It'll grow horizontally into a lush green carpet in a short amount of time. A rich substrate will help, but it is not required as long as you dose fertilizer accordingly and regularly. Once they establish, they become relatively very easy to grow. Good luck with your tank. BTW, it helps if I know the tank size.
