Part 2 - Let's see if this algae control rumor really works: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-boNtHhuPoMA.html

Thank you for this great video! I recently purchased a tiger lotus bulb from Aquarium Co-Op and was STUNNED at its beauty! Not only did it have long roots already but so many leaves with baby leaves poking up 🥰🥰. A few of the leaves melted after I placed the roots in my substrate that I removed but the baby’s grew and new shoots are popping up! My Pygmy cories and nerite snail love it

@Plantrums 2 дня назад

That is awesome! Is it red or green and splotchy (I say that with love, one of mine is splotchy)

Many thanks great video!I have grown mine from bulb ,low tect 15 gallon and its doing great and looks amazing !My nano fish and betta love it! Strange to mention but its a young tank heavily planted and I have minimal algae so maybe its true that helps?

@Plantrums 3 месяца назад

Hmm…Could be!

@soniaflory1237 Месяц назад

Should it be removed from the small pot that they come in before planting in the aquarium?

@Plantrums Месяц назад

I think that’s probably best. In my head, removing the pot lets them spread their roots out.

I love discovering new plants for my planted tanks! This is a great deep dive, do you have online place you recommend to buy? I love Buce Plants, but they are often out of stock.

@Plantrums 3 месяца назад

I do! I got mine on Etsy from this seller: tidd.ly/3vqIhuA

@Plantrums 3 месяца назад

Ps - what’s your favorite plant for your tank? I’m looking for more ideas (for videos…and my own hoard 🤪)

@thediplomat1124 3 месяца назад

@@Plantrums It's so hard to choose! One of my favorites is actually a floating plant, the water lettuce. It's so pretty and the tendrils for the roots are just perfect for neocaridinas. I recently purchased a pink flamingo crypt for my 5.5 tall and it's looking a little dull at the moment, but I'll be installing a CO2 injector soon, so I'm looking forward to those colors perking up!

@Plantrums 3 месяца назад

Pink flamingo crypt?! OMG

@lt7388 3 месяца назад

It doesn't need CO2 if you let a couple of leaves become emergent, then the surface leaves will be able to supply CO2 to the rest of the plant. The emergent leaves block excess light and slow algae growth on the substrate(not good for carpets that require high light). The flower blooms once a year in early summer when the temperature is in low to mid 20s. The flower opens up at night after the lights are off and will last about 4 days. It can self pollinate and you'll get a whole bunch of poppy sized seeds from the flower as it wilts and grow into a seed cluster. It will not flower without emergent leaves. After growing emergent leaves it starts growing a different kind of stem. The stems are a lot sturdier to support the larger and and more robust emergent leaves. The seeds can be sprouted in water and will grow on anything, had mine growing in a large patch on soft drift wood. I use it as a center piece instead of background as it really does look spectacular once it takes off. Goes well with crypts as carpet(low light).

@curvingfyre6810 3 месяца назад

Aka the only good floating plant lol. I'm curious about the anti algae chemical. Is there a source on that? Do we know what algae types it effects? Diatoms, cyano, red, green, filamentous, colonial, etc?

@beaglemanzzz 3 месяца назад

I have one in a new tank and out of the gate it has been producing the most growth, and amidst a filamentous brown algae outbreak I've been dealing with it's the only plant with almost no algae on the leaves so it sounds plausible that it may produce a chemical to at least protect itself from algae.

@Plantrums 3 месяца назад

Hi! Here's where I found that detail: aquariumbreeder.com/red-tiger-lotus-care-guide-planting-growing-and-propagation/ Like I said in the video, I can't vouch for it either way other than anecdotal experience that's similar to @beaglemanzzz. Still, it's an interesting little internet rumor!
