I have tried hairgrass, E. tennelus, glosso and Elatine triandra. My
favorite is Elatine triandra. I have great success with it with
2W/gal.
This plant is quite common here in Singapore, but I don't read much
about it in the APD.
This plant cover the substrate like glosso. It spreads faster than
glosso and form a very thick carpet. It is a very easy plant. I
prefer the leaf shape and colour of E. triandra to glosso. In my
experience, however, it cannot withstand too much pruning.
I am wondering if this plant is used by anyone else.
