Live Fish Tank Aquarium Plant: Dwarf Blyxa - Blyxa Japonica
$6
For sale Dwarf Blyxa plant for sale.
Blyxa japonica is a stem aquatic plant with thickly growing light green leaves and a strong root system. It grows both widthway and lengthway up to 15 cm (6 inches). It blooms with white, small flowers on its thin stems.
The leaves may grow up to 15 cm (6 inches) long and 3-4 mm wide. Their color may vary from green to golden red. The more intense the lighting is, the more reddish color Blyxa japonica demonstrates.
Though Blyxa japonica resembles fluffy bushes of grass. In fact, this is the plant with a stem and exquisit thin leaves. The plant has a stem, but its leaves just grow too close to each other and they have short internodes, which makes it look as a thick bush.
Such a structure determines some peculiarities when taking care of the plant rosette. In time the plant changes its appearance – its bottom leaves rot off and one third of the stem becomes bare.
Though its bushy rosettes aren’t large (up to 15 cm high), due to the fact that its stem slowly but gradually grows, the base of the rosette shifts higher and higher. Under it you can see an empty space under the thick stem without leaves.
In this case you should do as follows: carefully cut the plant stem under the bottom leaves and remove its bare part with roots from the substrate, then plant the living bush so, that it won’t float in the water. Some time later the stem will grow a thick creeping rootstock, which you should feed with fertilizers containing organics. If you maintain phosphates level high, Blyxa japonica will constantly bloom with small white flowers on long thin stems.
It grows quite fast. Unlike other herbaceous plants used for middle and front stage, it doesn’t have long shoots. Instead of this it grows a lot of spurs which can be easily cut off from the parent plant with scissors.
Relocation of these spurs may be a bit troublesome, since they have high buoyancy in water which, at first, causes difficulties to fixate them in the substrate. But once Blyxa japonica strikes roots, it will actively develop its root system and grow spurs forming a large bush.
It is not difficult to plant Blyxa japonica: you should put its sprigs into the substrate where they will strike roots. The substrate should be about 3-5 cm thick.
