RE: [APD] Hydrocotyle sibthorpiodes

["LeDeaux, David" <David_LeDeaux at tripointglobal.com>]

I know this is a little late in replying, I've been out on vacation the past
week.

I thought that the plant that Amano used in his midgrounds was actually
Hydrocotyle Verticillata.  I have been growing this in my tank for a few
months now and it gets about 2 to 3 inches tall.  I am using it as a
midground plant as well.  

Truth be known, I'm still experimenting with ways of propogating it.  My
most recent attempt was to try to propogate it kind of like glosso.  It just
seems to have a very difficult time of growing new runners after it has been
cut.  For this reason I have been very hesitant to try and do much pruning
on it and have been content to let it grow a little out of control for a
while.  This has been the only problem I have had with it in terms of
aquascaping.

Hi everyone.  

I've been growing H. sibthorpiodes for about 2 years now.  Right now, it's
larger and healthier than it has ever been.  It definitely isn't a very
forgiving plant.  But if you give it the brightest light possible and lots
of co2, ferts, etc, it can do pretty well.  It has a unique chalky green
color that really stands out.  Grows very slowly.  

My problem now is what to do with it.  Using it in an aquascape is a
challenge.  Some of you may have seen the photo of it as a foreground in my
tanks at the AGA convention.  That doesn't really work.  It's a little hard
to keep it growing flat.  In a couple of Amano's tanks, he kind of lets it
grow over other things in the midground.  

I would be interested in hearing about any one else's experiencesd with this
neat plant.  How have you used it?  

Cavan
