alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Mayaca fluviatilis--red pine Mayaca sellowiana--green pine. For those that think red pine is Rotala wallichii please convert some red pine to emersed and flower it. See if it has white flowers rather than the normal rotala flowers then write and article for the magazine to follow the article on Cardamine/Hydrocotyle.

Joe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Google Mayaca fluviatilis. All images are of green plants, not red. Same with Mayaca sellowiana. Rotala wallichii are red though, but it looks similar to the Mayaca species. BTW, can we get Mayaca sellowiana in NZ? It's a nice plant and I wouldn't mind some.

alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Add some iron and get better lighting. Fluviatilis and sellowiana are both available in NZ---just ask your local pet shop to order green and red pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Its no different to green cabomba going red in tanks like mine. lots of light + nutrient. I suppose the intensity of the lighting is more important I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cabomba carolina green, Cabomba palaeformis-red. The red is encouraged in the latter by limiting the nitrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
