Let them float for a bit until they develop a bit more
Staurogyne Repens
Hi All,
I bought some of the cultures, you know, where they come with the gel and then you let the gel dissolve off, rinse and plant.
The challenge I'm having here with these particular plants is there are no real stems to work with, almost like someone sent me neutered specimens, so I have some nice little plants but no real way to plant them in my substrate. The roots are certainly not ideal.
What can I do to preserve these plants, nurture them for a while, let some sort of the roots grow and then try to plant them? They look nice and green and the stems are very healthy. Some plants have some fuzz for roots but nothing that I'd sell to someone. I'm almost tempted to call the vendor that I got these from but I figured, I'm still quite "The student" of Planted Tanks, so I'd better see what the pros have to say and see if I can salvage or make something good of this situation. I have tanks where I can let these float in an effort to preserve and nurture them.
Thanks,
DD
