I have all but lost all my wisteria that I ordered about a month ago. The stem turns brown first then it just melts away. It is weird because the other plants in my tank have thrived like crypts, stargrass, dwarf sag, ludwigia repens, amazon sword, and limnophila sessilflora.
Does anybody have a theory about what could of been happening?
try a different source.
I've had success with the plant in larger tanks mainly, and it is a nutrient sponge, but it shouldn't be dying so quickly or like that.
Its a pretty plant too, so I hope you get it to work
I bought them in pots of foam. I always dont disturb the root structure as it can cause melting. I guess. I place the plants pots and all in the gravel. :#
In this way, they never melt!
I disagree, I would take them out of the pots before planting. My guess is that you just got weak specimens and they didn't survive the move. A healthy plant should be able to be trimmed and replanted and still grow like crazy.
My Wisteria grows like crazy and I'm constantly trimming it. What I do notice tho is that if I get a bba outbreak, it's one of the first plants to have it on them. Also, I'm not so crazy about all those roots shooting out of them. It gets so thick that I wonder if the fish can even swim thru it.
I have a dirt substrate with a cap so I think i gets plenty of nutrients. Through the roots at least. The most important part to feed a plant IMO. I also dose flourish comp and iron.
next time u get some let the plant float and it will aclimate to your tank it dosent like its roots buried to much leave it out of the gravel as much as possible
I got some wisteria that looks like it was grown out of water. It didnt even resemble wisteria, now its going crazy! haha weirdddd
