not hard at all to propagate. one little plantlet just pops up from every leaf.

hey noddy,
are you not heading this way soon?
love a cutting when you get back :D

[Noddy65]

Oh Bushie..very tempting...both Graeme and I have had a go at this form of Lotus (we were given them for free of course)...I had one of the plantlets and Graeme had a small plant...

We both lost our plants unfortunately (probably due to being eaten by those damn fish I suspect)....but I think were hopefully working on getting it again...

you could be onto something.

I bet you can buy whole fields of them somewhere in south america for about $10:p

These are great additions to any planted tank, I got one off enigma a couple months ago and almost everyone that sees the tank asks about the plant and its unique coloration. IMO a worthwhile purchase

Hi - can they grow in 30 degree C Temp ,do you also need A Co2 system & does it need lots of lights ?
i think they might melt away. i couldn't remember how they were doing during last summer. at the moment the temp is 26-28c.
no they don't need co2 but they will grow quicker and nicer with it.
lighting requirement is med-high

HTH

[Merrilyn]

If you're willing to drop to a more reasonable price, I'm interested in two of them :P

[enigma]

thanks for the offer.
unfortunately, i'm not in a hurry to sell them.
i've been keeping them for nearly 2years :P
