RE: foxtail a.k.a. limnophilia indica / Limnophilia aquatica
:) hope this help in your foxtail experience :) As you know it's a very
bush plant. I have it listed as an ambulia, requires strong light and
difficult to grow. Also have "will display compact, luxuriant growth
only if the light is good and if iron-containing fertilizer is added
regulary"
Family: Scrophulariacea (figwort family); range: india, sri lanka;
tollerates soft water better than hard water; light 75 wats / 25 gallon
(100L), water: 75°F-80°F, 3°-12° dCH; ph 6.5-7.5; Propagation is done
by cutting ;) of the top 5-6 inches; oh and it also states it's
recomened for HIGH tanks, so this rules out my 20L tank :~( Goes on to
say that placment is great in front of a dark background and growth is
compact if conditions are good, apparently you have good conditions for
this plant and I would suggest that you just trim it back and start
filling up a corner with it :)
It is a very beautiful plant
Hope this helps;
