Re: Bolbitis Heteroclita Cuspidata - "Micro"

I have cuspidata & it grows wonderfully emersed. If I keep it dryer the leaves are darker, wetter & all the rhizomes put new leaves faster & much lighter green. Very pretty, but i have yet to submerse, sounds like better for a paly or viv?

PM me if anyone wants some, i have plenty. Would love to trade for Lilaeopsis nova mini.

The cuspidata grows well submersed and is a quite easy aquarium plant, although it stays much smaller than emersed. The submersed cuspidata in Vasteq's pics at the beginning of the thread look better than my plants when I grew them in my tank (often blackish leaves), it's surely a matter of nutrient and CO2 supply.

If Your plant looks like that in Vasteq's photo, it's B. heteroclita "Difformis", not "Cuspidata". But it can get bigger as emersed plant; that's the look of well developed emersed "Difformis": http://blog.christel-kasselmann.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bolbitis-heteroclita-difformis.jpg
