Glossostigma elatinoides (commonly known as glosso) is a popular fast-growing aquarium plant used in the tank’s foreground
Glossostigma Elantinoides is a New Zealand native aquatic plant with a limited growth rate. It’s a great foreground plant that may grow into a dense carpet of green foliage if given enough light and nutrition. The leaves are small and spherical, with lovely bright green hues that complement any neutral-toned background.
To keep this plant from developing too quickly, high illumination and CO₂ infusion are required. Vertically rising thin stalks indicate a lack of lighting, while fading leaves indicate a lack of nourishment. A deficiency of CO₂ can also be indicated by thin leaves. When managed in the right conditions, this plant can grow swiftly and require regular trimming. In dry start aquariums and Wabi Kusa, this plant can grow submerged or emersed. It can be difficult to maintain this plant rooted in the substrate because it is small and has little roots. Dry start can aid in this situation by allowing the roots to attach into the substrate before flooding the tank.
Care Tips
- You must clip off the plant’s old yellow rotted off leaves in order for it to develop a short lovely green carpet.
- Additional CO₂ supply (20-30 mg/l) is required at high illumination levels, and fertilizations is required on a regular basis.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
