Expectorating_Aubergine Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Anybody try ajuga in the aquarium? It's a somewhat common bedding plant here in socal. I know there are other landscape ground covers that I see in aquariums (creeping jenny, lobelia, mint, alternathera and the like). They come in lots of colors and seem like they would adapt well to growing submerged. I have had these cuttings floating for about a month. They haven't grown a ton, but they also haven't died.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Nice article on this project here. Although I've not personally done it, I am told that many, many plants can be converted from emerged to submersed, given the proper conditions. Some will melt. A few just require _some_ leaves to poke above the surface for emersed respiration (e.g. Pothos, Bamboo, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Good luck, I hope you'll keep us posted. It'll be interesting to see if it keeps its color, too, if it survives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
