HC!
Because it just doesn;t want to stay in the gravel but float in my tank...
Hi everybody, just like to ask this out of curiosity
I know that AQ has expert , veterans, pro, newbies....
But Just like to know which foreground plant does fellow hobbyist think is the most challenging to keep?
Please states your reasons for your choice if possible just for all to share.( be it fertilising regime requirement, growth rate, temperature tolerance... etc)

Wouldn't the use of wire mess helps, a little unnatural though.Originally Posted by valice
Most foreground plants have the same requirements - light, CO2, water temp etc.
The challenge is not in growing them. The real challenge lies in trimming and maintaining the lawn because they simply grow too fast!

Reminds me of my previous E.tenellus.

they just make the most of everything that comes along their way

Me too agree on this... especially with shrimps disturbing the substrate
hair grass... the initial planting was a PITA... e tenellus was so much easier!! i've only tried e tenellus, ricca and hair grass. easiest was ricca
but trimming and maintaining riccia is also a big headache too

Cryptocoryne parva. Grows extremely slowly. With bright lights, it does a bit better speed however, algae grows on leaves.
To this day, I've failed in getting a C. parva lawn.

brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Yah, couldn't agree more. In fact not only a big headache, a big nightmare as well
exactly how do ya trim the stuff?Yah, couldn't agree more. In fact not only a big headache, a big nightmare as well
lawn mower? i never ever ever trimmed my ricca
I too has no success over this little fella
Perhaps its my fertilisation program just not enough. The two little patch that I've remain stagnant since day one that I planted them!
Gonna do a major strip down soon. hopefully I will have more luck after that......
In fact, according to the Dennerle Book, it only grows 5 to 8 leaves in a year!
Trimming wise its ok, I take them out of the tank to do trimming as they are either tied to wire mess or on DW . Then Give them a good " hair wash" to rid it of the loose cuttings. But when you put them back in the tank, there bound to be remenants floating up.
They grow so fast that the bottom layer start rotting when deprive of light and start to break loose in crumps
How you managed to do it without needing to trim. Any advice
well... when it begins to float off, rip it off, get those onion nets and cut the end, and just put the ricca on a wet tile, well some of it and put the net over, kinda like wearing a sock. and jus leave it to grow in the tank. well of course give it a little shake so the loose bits come off. generally a split give me 2-3 tiles of the stuff. wish i could post instructions. will do so sometime..
I am loosing patients on my Riccia, they are floating and clinging all over the place.
try my sock idea using the plastic nets u get with ur onions... it might help u lighten the problem.
Riccia to me... is like weed. I NOW got some in my 6ft. and it was like from the previous 2 tanks.. clinge to some plants and transfer over.. haiz..
