Casual aquatics Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 @Cory can you get lobelia cardinal plants in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted October 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2020 Sure, it’s easy to get. We just don’t carry it cause it looks nothing like that emersed picture. People want a purple plant. What they get is a green stem plant that they struggle to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual aquatics Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks for rapid response and your saying it’s really not purple? What do you recommend that you do have on your site for some color not running co2 though. Also normal lighting also got plant below on the way will this not look red then?

Administrators Cory Posted October 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2020 Plants with color in general need a lot of light the Amman’s gracilis is an amazing plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriskm Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Ooooo, now I want purple in my tank.... I'm having good luck getting a nice red with Ludwigia palustris in my medium light tank without CO2, but it is near the top, so it is getting plenty of light.

shkote Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If you have Cories and Tiger lotuses, it's really entertaining to watch them use them as hammocks. Sometimes several at the same time in different leaves. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varanidguy Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 What Cory said, lobelia cardinalis turns green when you grow it submerged. But it is a gorgeous green and grows very bushy under the right conditions, and very rapidly so it's great at being a nutrient sponge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
