C'mon, don't be shy, I won't make fun of any plants that you think are hard to grow. My hardest plant? Well, I only keep low light stuff, so I don't really qualify to tell which one's hardest for me. Post what your hardest is here!!
+2 on rotala macrandra. I've bought it from 3 different people on tpt. It is the only plant that never looks healthy when I get it. It never grows whatsoever. It has always just seemed to disappear. I have grown lots of other "hard to grow plants with little to no issues. What's the deal with this stuff. I've put it in multiple tanks, multiple different situations with no luck.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has a hard time with this plant. I have planted it several times and within a couple of weeks it melts away to nothing.
You definitely have some nice macrandra OVT. The nicest looking out of all the times I have bought it but I still found a way to kill it. That plant just doesn't like me or my tank. Maybe some day I will try my nemesis again.
I tried to grow pogostemon erectus, and it died. That's just about the only plant I've been able to kill completely. Even when I tried to save a few stems in my emersed setup it just died out.
Ottelia mesenterium from matano-towuti lake, celebes, is the most difficult plants... Only able to keep 1-2months and they'll start to get smaller and smaller..:icon_sad:

seems to HATE every tank i put it in. even when being grown alongside R. macrandra, L. pantanal and other PITA species.
