    After switching my vallensia from soil to lapis sand, my vallensia are dying. Can anyone tell me what is wrong. They are grown in a slightly shaded pond.

    they got delicate roots and if replanted don't tends to grow well in new enviroment. will advise to get young shoots for replanting

    Well, my Vals previously had some form of adapting period when I switched from black quartz (with base ferts) to lapis with base ferts. They kind of almost died, but the bulb/white base remained, and new shorter leaves came out within 2 weeks.

    Yours are probably just adapting too.

    I plan to grow them in a non-co2 tank which is currently being setup slowly.
    Yecch!

    Funny thing, no dead leaves. Which is the scary part, I came back from my trip and there were no dead leaves, only 10% of it was there.

    Mine simply melted (much like some crypts' behaviour) and there was also almost no dead leaves in the tank. Yours are in a pond so maybe the dead leaves (brown, wilting, half-rotting away) could be much harder to spot.

    GIve it maybe a week or two more, and hopefully your 10% will revitalize hehehe
    Yecch!

    Re: vallensia dying

    yeah mine could be stay about 1 month then roted away! so I just trow em in the bin! but the weird thing is, I planted it in the small pot with the mud and just put in the very low light tank..then they just survive and now start to flowering !! I think maybe it should not be plant the root too deep in the sand otherwise it will rot and die!
