Can someone share their experience in planting 'pellia'? I've read throught forums and articles. It's mentioned that 'pellia' are pretty hardy plants which could tolerate water temperature of up to 30 degrees.
But this does not happen to mine. Patches of my 'pellia' foreground turns brown and subsequently whithered away.
I've just rescaped my 5ftby1ftby1ft tank using only 'pellia' as foreground plants. I'm using 2*36watt FL tube with a fan to cool off the water. Normally the temperature hits around 26 to 27 degrees when the lights are on. When lights out, it is about 28degrees. Fan will be off too.
Anyone has any idea what could be happening?
The 'pellia' in my office, which is air-conditioned is growing very well. So I reckon it must have to do with the temperature. I was contemplating getting a chiller just for them. Hope could get some valuable advice on kicking start these plants.
Thanks!
