i think it takes 2 months dry start to full grow HC?

Dry start plant more bunches. Else the initial stage of rooting too much die/melt will be like mine now.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions, i see that some are encouraging glosso and some are HC,

previously grew Hairgrass but it was not successful. Shall try HC as seeing from feedbacks, glosso need more care

Anyway those i see from LFS, they are on carpet forms , so the whole thing plants into the substrate? Or just lay on the substrate, they will automatically root on it? I wonsdering if they have pot form? I intend to pot in bunch by bunch, but most are in carpet forms.

I saw 2 type the one with filter wool and one without. You can cut it into piece and use toothpick to stick it on the soil.

hairgrass should be plant in small bunch, not the whole bunch you bought from LFS

Noted, with thanks but unfortunately those amamo shrimps are my hard workers and senior residents!

All type of mosses/ us fissiden/ glosso/ hairgrass/ mini us fissiden/ petite nana/ e. tenullus and many others as highlighted above.

i think fissiden, mini fissiden, pellia .. need cool water right? thats why i never touch them

so in order of non chiller requirement with easiest is
1. hairgrass
2. glosso
3. HC

am i right?
