Lagenandra Meeboldii (Effervescent Stream)

Post by Tyger »

Lagenandra Meeboldii pearls in an effervescent stream of bubbles. What I found most interesting is that the effervescent stream begins under high light conditions (Tek-Light 36" T5-HO x4) and disappears within seconds of the down shift in lighting (2 T5-HOs). As an experiment, I flipped the switch back (4-bulbs) and within seconds the effervescent stream reappears at a slightly different spot on the leaves. In any case, I thought that I would share.

I've noticed that with Crypts and Anubias too, especially after you trim off some leaves. It's pretty neat!

Kris,

Very cool! I will definitely watch for it when I do my major overhaul transitioning to mineralized soil; right now I am just letting things grow and trimming minimally so everything is nice and healthy for the transplant :-)
