Description
This plant is a clone of the Small mud-mat or "Glosso" that first appeared in in vitro culture. We gave it the cultivar name Glossostigma elatinoides 'Compact' to distinguish it from the commonly available G. elatinoides. 'Compact' looks the same and has the same requirements but forms a dense carpet more reliably. The thin stems carry opposite, spoon-shaped, light to medium green leaves and develop roots at the nodes.
Glossostigma elatinoides 'Compact' is a moderately demanding and fairly fast-growing aquarium plant. Unlike the regular form, its shoots usually stay flat along the substrate even under less than ideal conditions and are less likely to grow upright. Strong lighting is still recommended to encourage especially dense growth. Soft to moderately hard water, a complete nutrient supply through both the water column and the substrate, and CO2 addition are recommended. This amphibious plant from the subtropical to temperate regions of Australia and New Zealand tolerates temperatures below 10 °C. In the aquarium, it grows well at 18 to 28 °C, with an optimum range of 22 to 26 °C. However, prolonged temperatures of 30 °C and above are not suitable. To plant it, use tweezers to insert small clumps (about a quarter of a pot for potted plants) a few centimetres apart into the substrate. The creeping shoots soon form a dense carpet. Before the carpet becomes several centimetres thick from overlapping shoots, it should be trimmed, otherwise it may lift away from the substrate.
