my glosso so thick already.. about 2 inches.. below all rot. i still leave it there.. anyway... its quite late for me to go trim them now.. so just leave it alone lor.

[Simon]

always trim them when it gets too thick

[bclee]

IME with APP, higher K and NO3 keeps them going longer without turning yellow/brown. It also prevent the plant from melting.

Not much experience with glosso. Personally, I dun like them.

i personally also don like glosso cuz i think it creeps too fast and always got to trim.
sometimes it creeps all the way to my masterbed room! oh no! so now u knw how fast it creeps! heehee cheers!

[bclee]

Errr... TBI, APP grows as fast as glossos if not faster. APP also grows thick and tall if you do not trim them.

PS: TBI, the APP I reserved for you is starting to rot away... dun want them anymore?

ni bclee, any harvest for APP at the end of this month? my tank will be cycled and ready by then.... looking to get some...

[bclee]

Mandz, I should have some by then. But each trimming will not be much, they propagate very fast though. I started with only 1 strand of APP with about 8 leaves.

Check with me again. (You can PM me.)

[Fei Miao]

bclee--

Can spare me some when you harvest your APP?

I used to have quite a bit but gave all away. should have kept some if I want them back... like now

IMO, APP is more forgiving then Glosso, ie. is they are easier to grow

[mandz]

thanks bclee... will pm u when the time comes... thanks

[vinz]

Personally, I find APP easier to grow and maintain... but when they die, they go much faster then glosso.

[liam]

pardon my ignorance, but what does APP mean?

[vinz]

Liam,

Go look in the Aquatic FAQ and see the thread "Glossary".

[checkerboard]

IMO, APP grows faster, but die faster also...
think APP also a bit easier to settle in than glosso...

but i also dun like APP and glosso... don't know why also, just don't quite like them...

[tawauboy]

app grows very fast.
given the required nutrients, starting with a few app and in 4 weeks time, you could be posting to give away app.
they melt very fast too. 3-4 days of low nitrates, you'll find that thay transform from lush green to a yucky mess of melting leaves.

Hi Liam

APP is Ah peck plant or Elatine triandra. Why do they call it ah peck, i have no idea

Vinz, I think there is no glossary trend at the FAQ forum. Maybe shld ask the administrator or mods to create a perm one for us newbies. Some ppl are interested in the discussion but get really put off by the extensive use of abbreviations. Thanks!

hi liam, APP means always plenty pleasure! ha! it stands for elatine and recently my melt alway like e ice cream. bclee wanted to give me some to replace but i never go down and collect....sorry bc. appreciate that.
And also APP can stand for another petty person. but now we are talking about aquatic plants so no choice cannot anyhow stands for.....heehee cheers to APP fanatics!!!!
