Here’s something cool. Hygrophila triflora leaf tear undergoing dedifferentiation, becoming meristematic, and growing adventitious roots.

Update on the stems that grew from this little leaf tear. This is pretty common with the Hygrophila genus in general.









This is a technique that frequently used to create variegated forms of plants, since the process is known to have a high probability of producing variegation in new growth.

That 22 gallon long bookshelf setup looks great. The long footprint should give you plenty of room to create a really nice aquascape.

You know, this makes since considering the other comments, especially the one on @Dennis Wong 's journal. I mean, everyone knows Dennis, right?

So folks, I can't tell, yet, if this is a person or an AI. Sign of the times. We are making sure before taking action.

Thanks for reporting... (I am not an AI) I guess we need to say that now.

Alright back to reality. The tank has been showing me enough stability to start adding back in the more special (to me) plants like the Blyxa red, Echinodorus 'Rainbow', and the Echinodorus ‘Soekarno‘. Replaced the big moss ball in the rear left with a large healthy Physostegia purpurea that was outgrowing the nano. Still getting some green dust algae on the glass and some of the more flat, wide leaf static plants (Acmella repens, etc). Power is staying right around 50% and I’m battling the idea of lowering it to see just how much it affects the algae vs. plant needs.









Here’s another oddball I’ve been trying in my nano. It’s been submerged for a few weeks now without much issue and is starting to send out a new leaf.

Habenaria floribunda:











Quite different appearance than its sister species, Habenaria repens which is an established aquatic. Wider leaves with a more pale silver-green color (vs lime greenish on H. repens) with stronger, more pronounced venation. Better looking really. No conclusions yet but for a species primarily known as terrestrial it’s doing pretty well.
