It's been more than a week since we setup this tank and there had been a lot of new plants. I'll update each plant below.
Bacopa Caroliniana
Roots on both soil and "floating" pot are getting thick now.
New leaves on both pots and stems between leaf nodes are short which probably due to slow growth, which is a good thing.
Java Moss
I got a big tub of loose java moss a week ago from a neighbour who is also into planted tank hobby and I tied it up from a lava rock and a drift wood as shown in the images above.
There's still a lot remaining and I placed it in a plastic strainer and let it float on top of the tank.
Christmas Moss
There's no significant growth that can be observe in this plant yet but that's expected.
Water Wisteria
Three cuttings from the main tank were planted in a soil pot. It immediately established itself and new leaves start popping out in just a few days.
Staurogyne repens and monte carlo
These are also cuttings from main tank and I would like to see how they will thrive in a low-tech tank. They are planted on GEX soil as well just like wisteria and bacopa caroliniana.
This is my favorite plant.
It's been in the main tank for several weeks but has struggled to established itself there due to nutrient imbalance and poor water quality. I've been putting a lot of effort to improve the main tank by dosing fertilizers and frequent water changes. However, I decided to transfer some cuttings in the low-tech tank to see if this plant will thrive.
