Mini Pellia

[hiisoka]

i had some problem with mine

i bought 1 single clump on a mesh from a lfs, then i untied the lot and retied to smaller rocks and on a mesh.
the inital growth was really good. the color was a healthy bright green and i can see the mini pellia covering up the mesh
and getting slightly thicker.

however i had some problem with some hair algae (not alot, just abit) then the mini pellia start to gradually turn darker
and some parts turned brown.

throughout the entire period the only variant i discovered is temperature.
the tank temperature 25degrees celsius during the initial stages cos the weather was much cooler,
i had only one fan on the tank but it was sufficient. when the mini pellia turned brown and hair algae started appearing.
the tank was at 27degrees celsius.

all my other plants/mosses are doing fine even till now, only the mini pellia didnt do so well.

Yes, mini pellia is very sensitive to water temperature, it flourish with 24-25 deg temp, that's why it is recommended to be kept with a chiller, Fan is possible but it would not be as Green and lush.
