Description
Description
Glossostigma elatinoides, or glosso, is a low carpeting plant with small, rounded, bright green leaves on creeping stems. It stays close to the substrate and belongs in the foreground, where it fills in as a fresh green lawn across the front of the tank.
In your tank it spreads horizontally and knits together into a dense carpet. Give it strong light and it stays low and compact, while CO2 and a nutrient rich substrate help it fill in quickly and evenly. A light trim now and then keeps the carpet tight and encourages it to run sideways rather than upward, and as it grows it also takes up excess nutrients in the water. It suits nature style layouts and works well in community and nano tanks.
It is grown in sterile tissue culture and arrives in a densely packed cup, free of snails, algae, pests and disease, for a clean start.
