Glossostigma elatinoides from New Zealand is much in demand in
Japanese-inspired aquariums. It is one of the smallest aquarium plants (2-3 cm
tall), and thus a good foreground plant. A difficult plant demanding a lot of
light. Grows upwards if light is poor. Make sure larger plants do not
overshadow it. When planting in the aquarium small clumps (approx. 1/8 pot)
should be placed at intervals of a few centimetres to help the plants grow
together more quickly. CO2 addition and soft water promote growth significantly.
