Glossostigma elatinoides

Family: Phrymaceae, Genus: Glossostigma

Description:

Glossostigma elatinoides is a versatile aquatic or terrestrial plant from New Zealand, known for its mat-forming growth and small, bright green leaves. It thrives in wet environments and is ideal for creating a lush green carpet in aquariums. This plant requires high lighting and CO2 injection to maintain its low-growing form, and it can grow both submerged and emersed. It is challenging to plant due to its tiny roots, but a dry start can help anchor them before flooding. Glossostigma grows quickly, necessitating regular trimming, and its care level is considered medium to difficult. It prefers a pH range of 6 to 7.5 and can reach a height of 1 to 2 inches. The plant's health can be monitored by observing its growth patterns, with vertical stalks indicating insufficient light and yellowing leaves suggesting nutrient deficiencies.
