Ari-L grandulosa needs very high light for it to turn red.
Another point is From North America roadside ditches.
Not picky with nutrients but needs regular trace nutrient dosing because of the high light requirements or it will die off.

yar brader ...high light...and thats what i have. the thing is in most cases the stems rot before they could turn submerge.
if rot is avoided then they will grow nicely ...
like most roadside ditch plant, they grow nicely in ditches, but the same couldnt be said when planted in home aquarium...infact L glandulosa looks like garden plant in emerge form.

on yar one more thing ...this plant has very little ressitance against algae.


Btw stan...if u hav the time . trying going to sham alam forest reserve, theres 3 ponds there, 1 is open for public fishing, the other 2 is well hidden deep inside the reserve. here in these 2 ponds are some sort of limnophila aromatica, maybe cuba...but they are growing wild. the whole pond looks red from above.....well, i like to steal some of them...hehehe

toking abt which bottle? the one attach to the side foam or the one suspended in water?

the one attach to foam is a DIY co2 reactor, im using yeast mix, no money buy the real thing lar. the 3 green pad below is the algae colony..BBA and Brown algae....to prevent them from growing else where.

the suspended bottle is fill with Cryp Fusca i got from jakarta..i was lazy to plant them so just left them floating in the tank.
anyway..i will be cutting 90% of the plants soon to make way for 20 pots of L.Glandulosa. so you ah the cutting ...FOC lar
