Have you tried growing any submersed?

What potting media are you using?

It should grow submersed just fine in moderately soft water. i.e. KH of 2 or less at the most.

Hi Rs, yes i do growing them submerged in my ground pond. In fact, the patch i shown in photo used to be growing submerged.

Please click on the link, i do explained the substrate i used.

Make sure you use water PH below 7 and softwater, rain water is ideal. The better way to plant them submerge is plant them emerge at fist, after stabilize slowly increase water level.

Oh, ok, sorry I didn't see the link under the photo. In fact when I saw the photo my eyes kind of glazed over.

If I'm not mistaken there is no other published photograph of such a large stand of nurii. At least not in the wild. Many people feel it's a notoriously difficult plant.

If you browse thru my blog, i actually shown some pictures of the wild and the habitat. The populations is healthy, we saw Nurii carpets the streams, a very dominate plants indeed.

I think most of you guys got your plant from Kahang river, Nurii's collected from this river are harder to keep in compare with mine.
