Monoselenium tenerum... how do i plant it?

[Ben M]

hi, i received some Monoselenium tenerum that was kindly given to me by johnnypy (thank you) . but i'm not sure how to plant it. do i float it, or tie it to rock/wood? and will it grow well in my tank? it is 4ft, 216l and i dose 5mls of TPN+ daily. the lighting is 1.25wpg of t8's and i don't use co2.

cheers 😀

Float or tie to something - it's pretty much a big riccia.

you can gently tie it to stone or wood.or just let it sink to the bottom.

here's quite a good article on it http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/monosolenium.html

thanks, that article was very helpful. i'll tie some to some wood and rocks, and i'll put some in not attached to anything, and see what happens.

cheers 😀

Careful when tying it down, it breaks very easy 😉 sometimes its actually best to super glue it 😉

thanks, i'll superglue some of it to some rocks, but i'll have to tie some, as i can't pull out a 10kg lump of bogwood, as it will uproot loads of my plants.

cheers 😀
