Hi Friends
I have a lump of hydrocotyle tripartita in my tank. Tank size is 56 gallons with 3.5 wpg and dosing Seachem NPK and Seachem Excel.
hydrocotyle tripartita is on the right hand side bottom behind the date tag.
I want to learn how to correctly plant hydrocotyle tripartita. As the roots or stems of hydrocotyle tripartita are very fragile and thin, they tend to break. Also the lumps tends to form a bigger lump
I want it to cover a larger area.
Request to suggest correct way of planting hydrocotyle tripartita .
Regards
Sanjay Dubey

I do have a variety of Hydrocotyle, Not sure about the species, I planted them in small pieces (just one stem joint is enough) and they got their roots in less than 2 weeks. in 6 weeks They have almost covered my tank substrate
mine tank is a 120G high tech with EI dosing. so i think its a very low demanding plant.

AFAIK! These things are very irritating when it comes to getting them planted in your tank. If you can be that patient and handle the back ache then planting each leaf individually is the best option here. Requires very fine gravel and CO2 injection to grow horizontally.
PS: I'm looking for it. If you've some to spare. Can I get some...  |
