Zacktraum Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 For some reason, I've found it impossible to grow any eleocharis variety. Low or fast flow, ferts or not, for some reason it always goes brown and dies. My ph comes out at 7.5 and stays stable. What am I missing? I don't have any trouble with any other plants that don't require co2, as I don't run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 What is the temperature in your tank? My understanding is they tend not to like it warmer than 77F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacktraum Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 I keep em everywhere from 65 to 89. Could it be a flow issue, as I don't tend to keep incredibly high flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroPete Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Also what's your substrate? They'll be happiest with access to nutrients through their roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacktraum Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Fluval stratum or seachem fluorite capped with sand. One was a walstad and that didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
