@@pratiksawai1745 no problem! Doing well here hope the same for you 🌱

@@lif3l3ssgaming photoperiod depends to an extent on other factors like photointensity and co2. But in general 8-10 hours per day is a good starting point. Adjust up or down depending on how the plants respond and whether algae becomes and issue. 🌱

@@AquariumPlantLab so i keep getting green hair algae in the tank with water wisteria i had the lights on for 6 hours for a while and the algae was pretty consistent and the wisteria wasnt growing as much. Then i put lights to 10 hours and the wisteria started growing like crazy but the algae also just staying around i pull it out all i can. I use a hyger 24/7 light, nilocg tabs and nilocg thrive S with sand. The goal is too have cherry shrimp in this tank so would probably help my algae issues a bit but atm it just houses bladder snails that im assuming came with the wisteria lol they dont bother me though i kinda like them. Unfortunately this hyger light only has 6,8 and 10 hour timers ill probably buy a seperate timer to set it at 8 idk if 8 hours would be the sweet spot if yhe algae has basically grown at the same rate at both 6 and 10 hours recently started using excel to see if that would slow it down while the tank balanced out more i guess tank is almost 2 months old now.

In my experience no, co2 is not required. Most Ludwigia species are pretty forgiving. 🌱

@@AquariumPlantLab I will have to see if I can get some in the uk

@silver_fox4040 it’s a good plant to try! Regular Ludwigia Repens is also a good one. Easy plants! Good luck on your search 👀

Rotala bro

Everyone who takes aquariums seriously knows it

@@user-jn8kn2ki9g it’s not Rotala try again 😃

@@AquariumPlantLab what??

Is it hornwart

Yes but windows can be problematic as you may have too much light or too little depending on location and season. This can cause plant growth issues, burns, and/or battles with algae. It can work but I don’t recommend it. 👍

@@AquariumPlantLabI never thought of winter time...thanks

I would make sure you have at least one leaf node under the substrate. Usually the roots come from leaf nodes anyway so if you completely cover that root you will probably be doing this. 👍

Starve it of nutrients and light 😂

Not this species! Many other aquarium plants don’t need it either. Though humidity is almost a requirement until roots are formed.

Most aquarium plants are amphibious wetland plants. In nature they grow underwater during the wet season and partially or wholly out of the water during the dry season. They are also often found growing along the edges of water bodies. There are exceptions but most aquarium plants can grow in or out of water if provided the right conditions. 🌱
