Cheating viewers by using red light. I had this plant. It had rose green colour mix instead of blood red colour. Yes I agree it's very beautiful than other red plants .
Just picked some of this up, Awesome plant. I got it at Aquarium World in Houston. Great Store if your in the area. I'll post a vid soon after its given some loving care.
I just got two small pots of these plants and they were jus little green leafed plants when I got it. But now in just two weeks this plant has become so bushy and pink it has taken over my entire background. Time for trimming
Yes, he has an accent light. But I think that plant is also quite pink. I have a pink growlight on my aquarium in addition to my 6500K LED ‘T8s’ to bring out reds in red plants, and it just makes the red plants look less washed out and brown.
I have this plant, I have pressurized co2, run my lights for 7 hours and dose NA thrive, and this plant develop's a crap tone of hair algae and its only with this plant
It will help greatly but no......but you won't regret getting a good one, if you get a cheap one....you will regret it i promise, but if you get a good skimmer you'll love it
Hello, I love your RU-vid channel and thought that you may be able to answer this question I have, and haven't been able to figure out. So I have a 55 gallon tank with a Coralife T5 HO quad fixture, with a Co2 system! I bought a few bunches on Rotala Rotundifolia at my LFS about a year ago and it has grown quite large and spread. But it has turned from a beautiful Reddish Orange, to totally green. I've been dosing 5ml of Iron once a week, but that hasn't really been helping, so just wasn't sure what you would do to fix that problem!! I would really appreciate the help!! -Matthew Dyer
You didn't mention iron as a key ingredient for lustrous red color. Also enhances green colors. Rotala Bonsai gets excellent color including red tips if you supply extra iron, be careful though you can wipe out your snails pretty fast.
@@gallardo20000 I mean, it's only a myth to an extent. if your tank is Iron deficient, then adding Iron certainly can make the plants less washed out and more colourful. adding Iron above non-limiting levels certainly will not make plants more colourful, but Iron is certainly needed for chlorophyll production.
use to be able to grow this stuff out of control under medium light and hardly any ferts, upgraded to high light at almost 5 wpg, loads of co2 and it doesn't even grow anymore.. just stunts
More light and more CO2 means more nutrients. You'll need to boost your ferts up to either EI or PPS levels. Your plants will only grow with three things - lights, ferts, and Co2. You need all 3 for plants to grow well, if any of the three is lacking, you'll not have good success.
BadhbhCatha I do use ei dosing for my 30 gallon. I've doubled recommended dosing for a 30 gallon and still no change. I'm experimenting with increasing different fertz one at a time to find the root cause of it
