I think it's really cool how different emersed and submerged growth can be.

I added narrow leaf rotala to my tanks a few weeks ago. In person, the top-most leaves are an intense magenta. This will probably be the main background stem for what I'm semi-jokingly calling the Slaaneshi tank I have planned (lots of pink plants with a lavender substrate).

Anyway, it shipped in its emersed form and confused the hell out of me for a second once I unboxed it. All large, round green leaves instead of the thin pink ones I was expecting. The submerged growth took off really fast, but you can still see some of the original leaves toward the bottom.

All without CO2 and only a little all-in-one fert in the water column. Friendship ended with Ludwigia repens.

My new Wabi-Kusa ball that I created. Definitely try this out if you haven't already. 🌱 Simply form a small ball with wet aquarium soil, take some aquarium moss and cover the whole ball with it. Then wrap a thread around it to fix the moss. You can use all kinds of aquatic plants. I have simply taken plant cuttings from another Wabi-Kusa. You can plant them with tweezers into the ball. Place the finished ball in a container or a small bowl with some water and spray it regularly, so that the upper leaves do not dry out and the plants can slowly get used to growth over water. @aquabase_ #terrarium #wabikusa #nanotank #plants #indoorgarden #mossgarden #aquascaping #plantedtank #moss #vivarium #mosslife #plants #rotala #hygrophila #terrariums #plantedaquarium #indoorplants #urbangarden #emersedplants #mossterrarium #aquaticplants #nature #aquaterrarium #botanical (hier: Stuttgart, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZ_ZQoITlZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey all guess what now that I’m back I’m also Back On My Bullshit:tm:

This lovely specimen is a specimen of rotala flower, a really fascinating type of flower with some excellent variation and types (more on that tomorrow!). Shown below is a zoomed in one cause it’s super cool how the flowers are laid out on the stem.
