Little confusion!Pls. post only you have tried these plants.

Which 1 of these plants are harder to grow?

1. Erios
2. Tonina sp.
3. Ludwigia inclinata var. Verticillata 'pantanal'
4. SYNGONANTHUS sp's

As I read in the forum lots of you are having problem with 'pantanal' which in my case grows like a weed...which is suppose to be hard to grow plant...

But all other 3 mentioned above are relatively easily if given ample amount of light, co2 and Fert.....but for some reason I don't understand all are not doing any good in my tank.....what might be the reason.....??

I have T5 lighting(320 watts) 12 hours co2 and EI dosing, Nyc soft water. I have tried many sp. of plants as you all can see in my sell threads.....but these 3 sp. are making me Wacko...

Even Eriocaulon aquaticum, which is easiest among Erios is not doing any good...any input/suggestion...??

Again plz put suggestion/input if you have or had all above mention plants...don't flood this thread.

i think some species of erios are the toughest.

erio matto grosso, syngo uaupes, and then toninas (in that order) are the hardest for me.

i my pantanal isnt growing fast but i also havent lost a stem yet

Im growing all of those in mid-high light. Only using to 2 the 4 bulbs in my 120p and i also grew mine without ferts for a while. So im guessing your water is just not soft enough, or cool enough. I use pure RO water and a chiller that keeps the water cool from 72-76.

[timwag2001]

straight ro? so your kh is 0?

[xJaypex]

Yeah just straight RO, which is why i dont dose EI. Idk if the kits are wrong or water is too hard but the test say my kh and gh are both 1.
