Ferka Rosetta and/or Stemma

**izzat** · 6th Sep 2005, 23:55

Hi Guys,

Need to get feedback and suggestions as to which one should I be using, or probably I will need both

These are the plants that I will be having in my tank.

Hemianthus Callitrichoides “Cuba”
Pogostemon helferi
Eleocharis acicularis

Based on Green Chapter website, the Rosetta is for rosette plants where as the Stemma is for stem plants.

So should I get either one or get both?

If I should get both, which plant belongs to which category?

Any bros/sis whom have used the above product(s) can also share their views here

Thanks

STEMMA

Stemma is a nutrient supplement for aquatic plants, for uptake via the roots. It was specially formulated for the specific variety of aquatic plants that has its stem distinct above the ground (stem plants). Other than its complete component of both macro and micro nutrient, Stemma also contains an extra component which will hasten the maturation process, support shoot system and promote branch formation.

A new experience of nurturing aquatic plants that makes trimming much easier and also extends the replanting cycle. Stemma is available in extremely fine powder form, packed in natural gelatin capsule. It will dissolve rapidly in less than 15 minutes and immediately provides food for the plants. With Stemma, growing the difficult or demanding plants, due to their exceeding needs of nutrient richness, will be at ease. Stemma is suitable for reddish and greenish plants.

Packaging:
20 and 50 capsules box.
Price: $9.50/$20.00 for 20/50 capsules

Dosage and Direction:
Use forceps to place Stemma under the gravel layer, down to the tank base (if the gravel layer is more than 10cm thick, apply at the proper depth by also considering the depth of the root zone). Stemma should be applied every 3 – 4 weeks (depends on the variety and the size of your plant) in addition with AQUATILIZER and BALANCE-K, to maintain the satisfactory proportion of elements and nutrients for a long period.

Each of Stemma capsule can approximately cover the area of 12 square centimeters, depending mainly on the gravel size. However, the approximate gravel size for aquatic plant growing should be 1 – 2 millimeters diameter, in average.

ROSETTA

Rosetta is a nutrient supplement for aquatic plants to uptake by their roots. It is formulated specially for the specific type of aquatic plant that lack of underground stems, with their leaves forming in circle shape, like a rose (rosette plants). For example, plants in the family of Echinodorus, Cryptocoryne and Nympheae.

Using Rosetta will benefit your Rosette plants in promoting lush-looking leaves and bigger stems, thus, bringing out the beauty and healthiness of the plants.

Other than its complete component of both macro and micro nutrient, Rosetta also contains an extra component which will enhance the maturation process of aquatic plants.

Rosetta is available in extremely fine powder, and packed in natural gelatin capsule. It will dissolve rapidly in less than 15 minutes and immediately provides the food for the plants.

With Rosetta, growing the difficult or demanding plants, due to their exceeding needs of nutrient richness, will be at ease. Rosetta is suitable for reddish and greenish plants.

Packaging:

Each Rosetta capsule can approximately cover the area of 12 square centimeters, depending mainly on the gravel size. However, the approximate gravel size for aquatic plant growing should be 1 – 2 millimeters diameter, in average.

I think the plants you have are more "Rosetta"

I may be wrong though.

Thanks Terence

This is how I classify the plants.

Stem plants

Pogostemon helferi
Eleocharis acicularis

Rosette plants

Hemianthus Callitrichoides “Cuba”

Is my classification correct?

What do you guys think?
