whats the smallest species of plants has anyone grown emmersed? i have a couple of small square ikea vases so looking for plants and ideas
I assume you have taken all the Rockwool off the stems then? If not this is how u plant Cuba usually, by leaving a small square on the end from the pot and sinking it into the soil. if you have taken it all off don't worry just lay the Cuba on to the soil, gently push it into place and with enough humidity and light it will grip after time and spread. Don't expect this to happen immediately though as it won'tJust could not plant HC in very small portions you would need to be bored stupid and have very steady hands
I grew it successfully on the top of a HMF sponge, where it grew like a weed and distributed floating fragments all over the tank, much like Riccia. Never had any joy with it submerged, even in very shallow water. I also got a lot of Alder (Alnus glutinosa) seedlings grow as well, and it took me ages to find out what they were.You can opt for larger HC. Not sure what mine is but it has done amazingly well emersed
