    Rosetta or Stemma

    I have HC and hairgrass mainly, with a little bit of Cryptocoryne parva, C. tonkinensis, C. pygmaea, HM, Val nana, Hottonia palustris for accents.

    I've been using Ferka Rosetta, but now I put on my glasses, I noticed the HC (which is the main plant in this tank), is a stem plant.

    So for such a mixed tank, is stemma better or ok to stay with rosetta?
    Warm regards,

    I'd stick with Rosetta. But if you say that HC is the main domination plant in the tank, try Stemma and see how things go before you decide imho.

    I've not used stemma before. I have instead been feeding my Echinodorus and crypts with Rosetta in my other tanks, so I inserted 2 rosetta tabs for good measure.

    HC is the main plant in this tank although you'd hardly notice it there because of its size. It covers 90% of the real estate, and is held down by hairgrass.

    My HC is growing upward despite increasing the light to 30W for a 1ft cube. I read that stemma will cause branching of the stem plant, which I hope the plant to creep.

    I'm thinking maybe the rosetta I put in make them grow tall and upright.

    Has any one used stemma and what are your observations?
