Dwarf Mondo Grass

Parlorre · 02-26-2013, 12:27 AM

I know mondo grass does not grow well, if at all, submerged but I got it from a plant package. I was wondering how long it might last, and what parameters would be best to keep it in. I don't really just want to throw it away so I might use it in my betta tank... If it will live. If you guys now anything about trying to keep these suckers alive please let me know

thank you!!

best way to keep it alive is too keep it in a pot with dirt next to a window or if u have a hob put it in there

Yeah I don't think it is a fully aquatic plant.

Mondo grass will die underwater.

It grows OK in a riparium planter.

Wow I just got three big plants of this grass I thought it was for the aquariums and I was gonna cut it down and plant it in my substrate in hopes of it growing like dwarf sag. Thanks for the post.
