Rio Uaupes
Organics can tear this plant up very easily. *One* of the secrets to keeping uaupes (very clean water and soil)
Seee here, my soil is africana but is aged and crumbled so every uproot or stir up i see powder debris glistening over uaupes leaves
growth had been good and rapid(different tank (t5 lighting)), until i did this, debris over one stem completely almost deteriorated and on its way
Moving the plant is not so bad after what I just said, as long you keep the plant clean.
Sensitive, yes.
I'm not too sure if you can float this plant or not, I have not tried and i do not have enough to try.
Algae does not hinder this plant much
1. organics
2. light/o2/co2
3. clean water/soil
4. soft/acidic water
5. fert suggested ei dosing get the best of this plant
6. short
7. multibrancher madness (I have not witnessed much branching yet) I pull side shoots as quick i can though
8. meltage if not trimmed>I don't think so, this plant can branch all it wants and not melt (melting due to organics)
9. roots bottom and sides, don't seem to penetrate and grip to the soil much
10. my favorite plant of all time
3 full grown crowns, see the height was like 2"

Upgraded or downgraded hugely according to price
odyssea cheap arse t5's

So eriocaulon sectaceum type 3 is the fastest so far in my tank. The plant is not hard as one may think. Crowns are smaller than normal though, this is probably location of tank lacking light in the corner. Following is madeira, then belem, then lago grande in speed, not ease.
These plants do require a skill degree level to grow. Especially long term, it's melted many of times on people and myself including. Its not like diplandis, ammania....etc whatever dull looking pish posh. Only plants to compare would be sunset (not florida), crypt silver queen might go on the same level. So if this plants just for hippies, they're all smoking up their plants like me(killing), cause i'm not seeing but a couple to 3-4 growers long term. I'd say its a plant for the higher class actually or those who want a actual challenge. Belem definitely isn't in the realm its been around a longer longer time and as easy AF.
People that say they can grow it, or usually any plant for that matter can't do all that, just words.
Lack of pictures and information PROVES this shit.

oooooo
So most algae is gone now. Going back to normal ei levels. should suffice. Whatever my tank was lacking should be there now.
Only problem is my water is cloudy like a bacterial bloom or something. I might invest in a uv when i get the chance.
Plants are growing very well, very therapeutic

Thank you very much BURR!!! was looking for new bulbs, right now now is all 6500k odyssea bulbs x 4 39w

Awesome. Yeah I thought that looked like all 6500Ks. A couple of decent red types will change your world.
Here's what 1 6500K and 1 TL Flora looks like on the 50 gal. (2 bulb unit).
Zoo-med Flora Suns are nice too, and fairly cheap. I like the TL better because it's a warmer red than the ZM. Just my personal taste.

Thanks for sharing, i also checked out aqua medic, looks deep violet colorish, the price is ridick, but i may try one of those.
You getting decent reds out of the single tl flora alone, very nice

Don't take it serious, no one is accusing you.
That is extreme red, haven't seen plants that red so want to know what plant it is.
