housing lfs may not know as they don't deal with plants often.

yay my glosso is doing well in my low-tech. Very nice absolutely love them.
just make sure u plant them them deep. I actually buried some completely but they still emerged from the sub and is sending runners all over now.
a update of my glosso:
gid bro,
All is looking fantastic
you need some samurai trained yamatos to clear the algae on those rocks

Looking really decent for glosso in a low tech tank. Can you kindly share your tank details and fertilizing regime, if any? Thank you.
Woooohoooo!!!! Nice!!!! I cut up the APP I found in the HC last time and plant them everywhere in my tank and they are growing too yeah!!! I see if I can upload and show you guys too
Cherabin, this is a one feet tank. Dosing dymax flora, dymax iron and excel weekly (all on 2/3 dose only, don't wanna affect my shrimps). 2x8w t5. Advanced HELP substrate. 15% wc weekly.
Jack, yea I'm quite worried about how my rocks are turning green in only 6 weeks! Don't think I need SAE, cos I already have Otos, right? Otos don't seem to do anything for the rock anyway, so dont think sae will make a difference right.
Felix, what do u mean by samurai trained yamatoes? Can they help? Shrimps are supposed to clean algea too, but my 10 cherries ain't helping the rocks. Even if yamatoes can help, will they attack my cherries?
Yamato Japanese shrimp. Hence I nicknamed mine
Their more efficient then cherry, they may snatch food sometimes from cherry. But quite harmless.
Every algae feeding shrimp/fish will have preference of which time they will like more. Oto will find it hard to scrape off GSA but make a quick job of diatoms.

I have 4 oto in the tank but mine also don't remove much algae from the rock, and then I read a post saying SAE can help, and true enough, in 3 days 1 SAE remove all the algae in my tank cause diffeent fish eat different algae
Are glossos easy to grow?
Just planted a pot into my tank,without CO2 injection and 4x24W of lights.
I find it alittle tough to plant them into the soil using my bare hands,maybe I should use a pair of pincers
4x24W without CO2 injection, you are inviting algae.
You should use tweezer to plant, make life much easier.
I wanna upload and show off my app haha but how to upload photo using iPhone?
Thinking of planting glossos for my 1 footer shrimp tank. But im using Benibachi shrimp soil with no base ferts. Do i need to dose ferts or just leave it? Using LED lights from aquazonic. I got a spare CO2 tank that i can use.
Hey Darter and Daybreak, the key to glosso in my opinion is plant DEEP, and high LIGHT!
I plant my glossos so deep, they are almost completely covered actually, but 95 % of plantlets still survive. The remaining 5% just rotted away cos too deep i think. but 5% is a reasonable collateral damage.
I dunno about LED, I was using LED at first, but changed to 2 x 8w t5 when i wanted to have glosso. Cos LED is still considerably new and no one knows for sure how effecttive it is. I did alot of research and found very differing views; so i decided to go for tried and tested t5.
Light is very impt. The portions of my glosso that are under just some slight shadow from other plants are evidently not carpeting n starting to grow upwards. Those 100% exposed are doing well.
Glosso is very hard work when planting, but damn worth it bros!
