Angelo Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 so got my planted tank with Glossostigma elatinoides and now wanted to try Glossostigma cleisanthum. It seems a bit better looking for carpet since it has smaller leaves. Where would be the best option for me to get a small starter bunch for propagation? aside from glosso and dwarf hairgrass, what other options do I have for foreground carpet?

Adrienne Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I don't recall seeing cleisanthum ever mentioned on here so may not be in the country. Alanmin will most likely know if it used to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li@m Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Glossostigma cleistanthum is a NZ native, ive seen it on the edges of lake Taupo. It has been on TM once or twice, but not recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I had viewed the plant database and found that its a native. please do pm me if you have some to spare and would be happy to propagate it and share. I'm currently on the process of propagating glosso emmersed and so far so good. it would be a great carpet option because of its smaller leaf. Thanks for the reply guys!

Benjansss Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have found out it was a form of selliera radicans from its flowers so sorry but also Glossostigma cleistanthum has bigger leaves then glossostigma elatiniodes I think you're confused it with glossostigma diandrum with has very small leaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
