-grow slower
-mid light requirement
-4 leave clover
-2-3 inches tall

Glosso
-fast growing
-mid to hi light requirement
-1 leave
-1 to 2 inches tall.

Eviltrain. 1-2 leaf per root section.

TS, one look can tell which is which.

[Noobz]

Thanks for the information. Got confuse as some of the google image looks so how the same as I never notice the number of leave. Just curious are their leave of same size or Glosso leaves are smaller?

[magpie]

Leaves of Marsilea Hirsuta are broader than glosso. If the plants are growth with high lights, it will carpet like glosso and not grow too tall. If grow in low light, it will grow taller with 4 leave clover.

[Noobz]

thanks everyone for the information.

Marsilea is so-called Poor man Glosso as it is much cheaper than Glosso. Actually, Marsilea is a very undemanding plant and they don't need much requirement to spread into a nice lawn.

To do a emerse farm. Any one seen lfs carrying it?

C328 always have Marsilea Hirsuta in stock but the quantity per tub is not much and cost about $5. I am also thinking of trying APP again as my last attempt failed miserably.

[felix_fx2]

Tub? Then my eyes might have been looking at the wrong place all the time there.

Have you seen y618 stock it before?

[cherabin]

M.hirsuta hasn't been stocked at C328 for a long time already. The last time I saw them, I grabbed 3 tubs

I'm unaware that they're cheaper than glosso, at least locally. For the amount one pays for M.hirsuta, you'll probably be looking at 2-3 times more of the same quantity of glosso.

My last visit to C328 was about last month and I did see there are Marsilea available. Maybe the supply has stop temporarily, have to call up and check.

I think need to check with aunty the next time I go. The ones I got from stormhawk didn't make it thru.

They have the stocks. its in those small cups on top of the tank outside the shop.

[Aquanoob]

Diaz, yes, that is their usual display for the Marsilea. Per cup is $5 if not wrong.

The nana cups? I have been looking at the wrong direction for... 85% of the time...

I didn't realise the Hirsuta are sold in those cups too! I always thought they were sold in the elongated plastic trays near the left entrance.
