FS- POGOSTEMON HELFERI DOWNOI


Shrimp Life

Recommended Posts

I have been growing this beautiful short plant in my shrimp tanks, with medium lighting.  Pictures were taken today of available crowns.

 

I am selling small-large crowns. I will include a good mix of all sizes in each order.

 

10 for $20 plus $10 shipping. These need to be shipped with care sorry for the higher then usual shipping cost. Tried to make up for it with a fair asking price.

No I don't use co2, and I don't use co2 for any of my moss collection, and no problems. I think the problem alot of time is the source/seller. If you are buying a moss or plant that is grown in high demand conditions and you move it to a low tech tank, you can expect melting. die off etc... I personally have had some issues with tissue culture plants not flourishing the same way that my hobbyist grown moss and plants did.

Growing those downoi my self along with the Downoi reds.. =) 

It is pretty demanding plant but it's easy once fully established. Downoi's prefer mature, fully cycled substrate just FYI..

Ok thanks Mike . I just ordered some from Daz the other day.

Red Downoi is still pretty pricey. Started with 2 crowns and I now have 6 crowns as of today. Picture is probably a month a ago.

Ok thanks, Mike . The photo and explanation is great help.  They look like they are doing well for you.
