 Re: Plants so expensive at LFS
i understand your frustration on the price of foreground plants. I've spent $12 on two dying bunches of glossostigma.. but i've also been able to revive it.
The only reason that I purchased the bunches was b/c its so hard to find glossostigma in Vancouver, BC... and i was quite confident that my tank conditions was capable of reviving the plant. If you're unsure that you can grow such a plant, do research before you throw some good money into it. The tropica website has plenty of useful information about plant requirements ( www.tropica.com ) and you can read up on other people's experience w/ the plant at The Krib ( www.thekrib.com ).
The quickest way to propagate foreground plants is to seperate the plant into small bunches and plant them 1-2" apart from one another. You'll get the quickest carpeting effect that way.
Hope this helps. |
