Description

Glossostigma elatinoides, often known as Glosso, is a popular foreground aquatic plant for creating dense, green carpets in aquariums. Its tiny, round leaves grow in small, creeping clusters, making it ideal for aquascapers who wish to create a lush, natural-looking substrate cover. Glosso is a fast-growing plant that thrives under high light and CO2 injection, forming a vibrant, dense carpet in aquariums. It is especially popular in nature-style aquascapes and planted tanks.

Key Features

  • Compact Growth: Forms a low-growing, green carpet in the foreground of aquariums.
  • Fast Propagation: Spreads quickly when given high light and CO2, perfect for covering the substrate.
  • Popular for Aquascaping: Ideal for nature-style aquascapes due to its small, delicate leaves.
  • Tissue Culture Cup: Delivered in a sterile, nutrient-rich medium, ensuring healthy plant growth free from pests.

Care Instructions

  • Light: Requires high light levels for optimal growth.
  • Water: Soft to moderately hard water is ideal (2-12 dGH).
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 22-28°C (72-82°F).
  • CO2: Highly recommended for fast growth and dense carpeting.
  • Planting: Remove from the tissue culture cup, rinse well, and plant individual portions in the substrate to encourage spreading.
