Classical music always good when gardening

What is the music name?

@@agussanoto4817 Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Movement 1

foo the flowerhorn, you mean?

@@vulnerablerummy No. Totally different guy.

@@1lapmagic ooh is it Jeb Gardener?

@@vulnerablerummy yeah, that guy!

Would grow fast if your tank is established with other plants my 40 gallon is of need of a carpet plant.

I know..he should've played 2pac

nice work

Alot of the plants just require maintenance like water lettuce explodes when you cut off runners quickly, these repens plants will do great if you have the time to cut and replant

Hi David, check our website with many layouts and instructions about how much light, CO2, fertilisers were used in each. There is no exclusive setup, we adapt as we watch the plants grow - or not grow well. tropica.com/en/inspiration/ and aboutStaurogyne tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Staurogynerepens(049G)/4481. Hope that will help.

That is Glossostigma elatinoides.

Good luck Maria!

@@TropicaAquariumPlants thank you my friend! I've had a great teacher 🤗

+Ty Dang You can choose to cut off the bottom leaves or not when you replant the tops; in both cases the replanted plants will develop new roots and make new, creeping shoots.

I know your comment is old but those bottom leaves make for great anchors.

Yes

We mostly use Tropica Plant Growth Substrate covered with gravel.

more light = higher nutrient consumption, if you haven't adjusted your nutrients you now have probably a lack of nutrients of some kind which result in what you experience, plants losing their leafs (its like driving car faster, you need more gas)

@@TropicaAquariumPlants should i add more co2 gas injection or liquid fertilizers?

That is Glossostigma elatinoides :)

Yes, it's best to leave some to ensure a healthy regrowth.

+Williams Marquess 0,6W/L (T5-tubes, daylight) should be enough, read about the plant here: tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Staurogynerepens(049G)/4481

Black lava stones.

Black lava rock

It looks like Glossostigma elatinoides tropica.com/en/plants/search/?mode=search&sew=glossos&dif=&pgr=&ori=&use=

Are you planting in the sand? I usually shoot for at least 1 inch of planting substrate (I use ADA aqua-soil or Fluval Stratum) but usually go for 2-3. If you’re sloping your scape, I’ve used up to 5 inches of aqua-soil in the back. The plant itself doesn’t really need more than an inch but for the scapes sake, I always have a deeper planting substrate because I tend to slope my scapes, using rocks to hold it all back. Then I’ll usually use about half an inch of pool filter sand for the foreground if I’m not using carpeting plants.

@@ryanwilson5936 Hello, thanks for replying. Yes I'm using caribsea tahitian moon sand. It got recalled due to metals but mine seems fine so far. It's more like small gravel than sand so I don't know how the roots will do. My tank slopes from 1 inch in the front to 1.5 inch in the back. The s repens will only be in the front. I'm doing DIY co2 soon and I'm using root tabs as well. Do you think it'll be ok?

I think people grow these out of water to let them root first then they flood the tank

We used a 1 cm layer of Tropcia Substrate covered with gravel.

Yes, CO2 addition as it is the most important nutrient for plants. Staurogyne would probably have survived without CO2 addition, but it thrives and grows best when it has access to CO2. tropica.com/en/guide/make-your-aquarium-a-success/fertiliser-and-co2/

with good co2 light and nutrients, it should work. Plants can adapt to different types of water parameters in case all other parameters are good

Thank you for your advice @@TropicaAquariumPlants! At the moment I don't use co2 but I do use liquid carbon, I also use the Aquascaper Complete liquid plant food and the light is the LED light that came with the Fluval Edge 46l (7600k high luminosity LEDs) , would that still be enough?

Late reply but use some root tabs and have good lighting and they will grow

@@theoglegogalaxy5307 thank you sir

+Victor Fries I am afraid it's not possible for us to advise you personnally. Our specialists are so busy at the moment as we are preparing the most important petshow in Germany and lots of projects going on in the company. Maybe you can read our material on the website carefully to ensure you have used all our advices. Or you can contact fellow aquascapeers through forums, there is a lot of people knowing quite a lot about the planted tank out there. Or maybe you should consider starting a tank from A-Z using our quickguide? I wish you good luck :)

+Tropica I suddenly got it going..... I saw I should not be shy with nitrate and specialized fertilizer. Can you only ask this.... This only takes a minute... What are the preferred values....? I try to aim for this as good as it goes... So correct me where I am wrong... GH 9 (Depending on plants though.) KH 7 PH 6,5 - 6,8 so co2 is 25 mg/l NO3 25 mg/l FE 0,1 maybe 0,2 mg/l PO4 0,2 maybe 1 mg/l

+Victor Fries Your values generally look reasonable. Remember that every plant has its specific needs and preferences - this is why there are so many different species. For fertilisers, though, do not be afraid to "overdose" a little, as long as you perform your regular waterchanges. This will ensure fertilisers are available in plenty, at all times and ensure waste-products are discharged. Have a look at the "Estimated Index" (E.I.), which is based on this filosophy. Allways look at your plants and fauna, to tell you if they are OK. Testkits can be a guide, but can also give you info that is unprecise or misinterpreted. The plants themselves will react to their environment telling you if they get their needs fulfilled. Hope this is of help for your hobby, achieving the aquarium you want. Good luck.

+Tropica Thank you super much :)

+Tropica My tank goes now :O But here comes a funny one..... I have only red plants and super fast growing plants in a 60 liter tank. 60 P ADA btw.... Except for glossostigma in green xD! And I fertilize 15 ml a day now and it is still not enough at 9 hours of light... So if I put the light on 10... 11... 12... hour soon.... It can be I have to fertilize 30 ml a day for instant? I never expected such high usage. It goes better by the day! Thank you super much again for all :)))

Ofcourse.

It's better

lol

aw c'mon its nice LOL

It's too sad.

What music do you use in your informative videos? How did you find something that pleases everybody?

It's playing way too fast

You have to use the right amount of light, fertilizers, Co2 and a nutrient rich substrate. Ok, Soft Water will help too. However, there is no point for cheating in the videos - we show what's possible. Setting the wrong expectations would cause disappointed customers. That's not what we want ;)

Wacek Pankracek Dude, in the proper conditions, most of our aquarium plants could go for a good bi-monthly trim. If the plants aren’t growing, 9.5 times out of ten, it isn’t the plant.... Honestly, most plants would do just fine with weekly 50% water changes and nothing else but an air-stone and perhaps a little bit of fertilizer. Plants do what plants do. Grow. If they don’t have what they need to grow, they don’t grow properly meaning either slowly, not at all, or with deficiencies (or toxicities, if they receive way too much of a certain fertilizer element [N,P,K, etc.]). I was actually surprised that the plants in the video didn’t grow faster.

me too sadly. i think it's because my tank is so new and low planted. everything in tank is growing well except for this and i think it's because the portions were so small/short. running 2 canister filters and a water polisher with crystal clear water and water tests but still get algae on this plant on old growth
