Looking for Ludwigia Pantanal. Anyone have a few stems?

I have some , but I think it is really to hot to ship it. This plant is very difficult and frustrating (you get it looking perfect and then it switches to emersed leaves and shoots to the surface), IMO

Know anyone headed up to OKC to pick it up, or anyone going to the Dallas Killifish show, I can send it down with a club member

I thought I was the only one that had the problem of it turning emersed underwater! Good to know. I got tired of fight this plant and sold it off.

I'm fairly sure it is a nutrient deficiency, but since all my tonina's and other difficult plants are growing like mad, I don't really want to make changes.

I have noticed that it happens less now that I have switched to Aquasoil (which is why I think it is a nutrient issue)

It happens to me when they get close to the surface. May be a CO2 thing or a mixed gasses thing - I default to Tom on that one. If it was nutrient I would think the lower stems would grow emersed then.

Thanks for the heads up. I do know it's really difficult. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I just pm' Tom on his sale. I have some coming from him. Looking forward to it!
