Glossostigma (Glossostigma elatinoides)

Glossostigma elatinoides sold in the “pots” the quality is much better than in “bunches” and is much easier to plant. It is better quality, and you get more stems for the money. (as with bunched plants, when harvested, the plant is actually cut off) From that second on, it is literally rotting until planted. These potted plants arrive in perfect condition, and, unlike “bunched” plants, they have healthy roots so they have another huge advantage. This is not a plant for beginners. It requires bright light and C02. Beautiful foreground/ground cover plant that is copper sensitive. Make sure it’s not shaded by other plants. Glossostigma elatinoides is commonly used as a foreground plant in aquariums. Plant several pots of Glossostigma in the desired areas and then watch them expand to form a dense carpet. Make sure to have ample lighting to be successful with this foreground plant.
