kimmi7 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 so i got this plant from natures corner this past friday as i was waiting for jason with my shrimp. Wasnt sure it would flower as i have read its a harder plant to grow but my luck it has two nice flowers on one and another starting. answers my question about if my lighting is high or not. sorry about the bad quality of the pics but they are from my iphone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Nice, the plant is Aponogeton ulvaceus. I got one from Aquarium Central and so far it has thrown up about 5 flowering shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Many Aponogetons are self-fertile. Use a little paintbrush to transfer pollen between flowers and see if you get seeds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Werner, have you gotten any germination from your seeds? Will they sprout in the aquarium or would you have to start w soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautilus Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Beautiful!! Congrats. Very different from my plants that never make it out alive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmi7 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I will try that but not sure how the seeds would work or turn out as it's a bulb plant. So would the seeds look like little bulbs or?? Oh well guess I will try and keep you guys posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
