Is there a trick to get this plant to grow in an inert substrate? It's doing very well in my aqua soil tank, but I just can't get it to do anything in my other tanks with BDBS .

35ppm Ca
7ppm Mg

Per dose total
4.5/1.2/6 - Fe around .45 proxy
3 doses per week, sometimes a fourth.

Its one thats definitely more forgiving in soil-type subs. To do fine in my sand it needs high co2 and high macros. Its a good co2 indicator plant with any sub, with inert sub its a particularly good one

Ruling co2 out, raising macros usually fixes it. For example it can be the only plant struggling, tops kinda stunt, they become less full and not-so-well-shaped, often it just degrades half way down the stem. Its a lot more touchy than given credit for

Freaking this! More clues to my problem in this tank!

You definitely need 4x macro doses per week in the sand tank. Id probably do 5x for a couple weeks til it gains its footing (3 post wc then 2 more)

Leave micros 3x, it doesnt like high micros either

Copy, thank you.

Excavate some of the sand substrate and try placing a mesh bag with maybe 1/2 inch of aquasoil at the base of it and try planting over it and see what it does…

It is an experiment…

Or, you could try some root tabs….
