Is glossotigma dude....It is carpet plant aka foreground plant. It need base fert and liquid fertilizer to grow well. Beside that, the basic requirement for this plant is very high lighting and high CO2. Otherwise, you are growing the glosso tower... hihihi....

Wah... I was trying to breaking my brains out trying to figure out what "glosso timah" is until dom you pointed out.

glossotigma and glosso is the same plant species. The latter is a short form only.

yala how come i never saw the rhyme between glosso timah and glosso stigma.. (so slow la my brain) no wonder couldn't find any info on internet. the malay guy at 88 repeatedly said glosso timah. then again, come to think of it, he had a kelantan slang/accent. i think he wanted to say glossostigma but ended up sounding like "glosso tima". or maybe i just need to korek my ears more often
hahah my bad malunyaaa...
i thought they were different types of glossostigma because the one i have currently in my aquarium looked different from the ones i bought from 88. i think maybe because each growing under different conditions hehe

Sayasebuk,

Is Glossotigma. Not GlossoStigma!
Pronounce as Glosso-tigma. Not Glosso-Stigma.
