Hc Carpet Emersed

All fine in about a week or 2.

Hc carpet emersed.

Light will be medium high. This video is of my little h. Just started my hc carpet 1 5week ago going to complete the emerse to submerge stage. Its also known as pearl weed.

I don t think emersed growth works as well for hairgrass in terms of getting a very thick coverage like with hc. This method should work well for all mosses most grasses and most other carpet plants like hemianthus callitrichoides and glossostigma elatinoides. In the submersed form it looks almost same as an emersed form with cushion like growth or low carpet. However i think the initial 1 month of being established when emersed helped a lot and prevented algae issues with the hairgrass.

I have grown hc emersed and submersed it it loses some of its leaves but doesn t take forever to grow back. With excel and ample lighting the hairgrass was spreading much much faster and denser on submersion. It s almost tempted me to start a palaudarium. It will carpet but the leaves are a totally different shape than dwarf baby tears hemianthus callitrichoides pictures below hemianthus micranthemoides giant baby tears pearlweed hm hemianthus callitrichoides dwarf baby tears hc hope that helps.

Hey all the title says it all. Will hemianthus callitrichoides require co2 to carpet if a part of it is emersed. Glosso will be a better choice if it is frst time trying. Imo it s all about lighting and co2.

17 days from planting three small 4x4cm pots of hc. Mosses in particular have very different emersed structures and can be quite cool looking. Growing hc also need luck some can grow it without cold water but some with cold water also cannot make them flourish. Another two weeks and i expect it will be covered.

Cuba has smaller leaves and a bit narrower. The emersed part will be misted and fogged regularly in the paludarium. As for hc you will need high light and lower temp so that it will grow better. Sometimes you can see the tiny white flowers in the axils.

But it does demonstrate that high light no co2 doesn t always translate into an automatic algae fest that is if the plants are growing well.
