    Just read from a china forum.this seed can last for 3-4months in the tank.its leaf will grow long pointed up,and grow larger also turn red sometimes.people in China usually reset their tank every few months since it just needs few days to grow.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    Can't you just trim the longer leaves? Or does it not grow any new leaves

    could it be these are not water plant hence cannot last long.
    from some China forum , people said that the seeds are from some kind of tree and would not survive in water in long term.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    These seeds/plants are easy to grow. It is really the case of, just dump the seeds on the wet soil and wait for it to grow.

    However, it is only meant for newly setup tank as the seeds won't sink (maybe will but not easy plus you won't be able to disperse them properly/evenly in a tank full of water). Secondly, the roots are very tiny and the plants will be very prone to being swept away by strong currently.

    It doesn't grow as fast as what was mentioned, but it does eventually grow. Mine took about 5 to 10 days to see them actually grow.

    I think you need to be generous with the seeds to get what kapitan gets.
    If you stingy like me, then result won't be as good.

    It is the same species. A month later it will start getting pointy. And by the way... those seedlings are not aquatic plants to start with. Good luck if you guys had solely depended on the seeds for your carpeting as you need to change it 4 to 5 mths time

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    Would adding things like Flourish or Excel help prolong the life of the plant?

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    After reading all these information, makes me half hearted to try out these seeds.
    Heard the roots are not growing long enough into the substrate as well.

    May be lack of nutrients. Same like glosso when there is a certain nutrient defiency. I nvr see it turn red even with high lighting from east ocean. But the plants get really huge and elongated leaves.
