What is the hardest plant you have ever grown or attempted to grow?

**phoenixkiller** · 07-17-2012, 04:55 PM

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!!

Hey I live in flower mound too. The hardest plant that I have grown would be HC and I don't think it did to well. I didn't have enough co2.

Wendetti, every single one I have tried to grow ends up being a tiny little runt...

Hygrophila pinnatifida - I think it dies as soon as you guys put my name on the Priority flat box.

For me, it would have to be Downoi...

That stuff is really starting to take off now in my 60G!
