Billipo Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Can I use Sagittaria latifolia in a heated tropical tank or only a cold water tank? Also can it be fully submerged? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a care guide. https://bantam.earth/sagittaria-latifolia-broadleaf-sagittaria/#:~:text=Sagittaria latifolia%2C also known as,up any type of aquarium.

Most of what I had been able to find described the plant in native environment. Thanks for the link it was informative. My aquarium temperature is at the top end of the range and I have an unheated tank as well so it probably will work in both. As far as submerged, not sure if I'm convinced. Content is vague on this point. I was building a boardwalk at a park and found a couple plants which were going to be "displaced". I can report back as to success and/or failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will do good in both climates im sure. @Billipo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billipo Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 I'm still figuring out what to do with plants, but I did pot two and put outside. Figured I'd share a picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billipo Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Follow up report. Bareroot plants (2) hanging in community tank, 10 hour lights - Stayed small, new shoots but eventually died Planted in tank substrate (2) (a plant only tank) fertilized, 24/7 lights - Some new growth but older leaves dying back Planted in original soil capped with stone, fertilized, kept outside (2) - Thriving. Updated photo attached. My conclusion. Natural light makes the difference. Personally, Not recommending for an aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billipo Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Repotted nearly dead plant outside. Almost immediately came back to life. Plant that I kept outside is doing great and now blooming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
