TravisBumpy Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Is there any fast growing rihzome plants that don't get over 5 inches. I am wanting to try a cliff aquascape and need something to accent the cliff face. I am not really wanting annubius, way to slow of a grower. I want to be propagating for other tanks.

Supermassive Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 My narrow leaf java fern doesn't get very long leaves. Its only about 3-4 inches tall after several months. It might grow differently under different lighting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rube_Goldfish Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Doesn't Hygrophila pinnatifida grow pretty fast for an epiphyte? I've never tried it myself, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried it myself, though. It can if it has access to air, but it's more useful, and beautiful, in a paludarium. I would worry about how it dries out in lower humidity environment, but I can't speak to if that's an issue. In terms of growth rate it really does well with a decent amount of light. I wouldn't say it's immensely fast growing, medium I would think. It does however grow tall. You can tame it, but it does grow tall if you don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 What about using terra tape and something that isn't an epiphyte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
