[APD] Emersed Hygrofila Polysperma
I have a 10 gallon tank that was allowed to become a marsh through lack of
attention. (The fish had been long removed, of course.)
There is less than an inch of water in it, and an inch and a half of
soil-under-gravel substrate. It gets about 10 hours of good light a day.
(It is lit by a 5 foot tube that is shared by a neighboring tank.)
There are several H. polysperma plants growing emersed in it. One is about
3 inches high and consists of 5 stems; several others are much smaller but
growing well.
I had never heard of them growing emersed, but my research showed that it is
really not a rare thing. Still, seeing it was a new experience for me.
Another surprise!
Bill
