Adding a little red

[happychem]

Well, if it's the same as the one I've got, mine was just sold under the obscure name of "dwarf lily", which I can't find reference of anywhere, but I digress. Mine just sat as a bulb for a good week, but now there are a ton of little leaves starting to grow out. So I guess my answer is give it a week with some good light on the bulb.

Red temple has always been my favorite red stem plant. One of the easiest red plants to grow.

Can you name all the red plants in these pictures?

Here is another of red temple

Here is another common stem plant, you know what this one is?

I think that the top right is Rotala macrandra. The bottom looks to be another of the Rotala species, but I'm really not sure.

The middle one is too small to tell. The top left, I don't see any red.

The bottom one looks a bit like my rotala indica.

I have some kind of red lilly in my tank. That thing is AMAZING! In 4 days it can send a shoot to the surface (85cm) and my fish are hanging out under the lilly pads. I'll see if I can get a good pic tonight.

The easiest way to provide Iron is by usinf fluorite as a substrate.

While this may be true, Flourite isn't an option in my tanks, and therefore does me no good.
