Some notes on this wonderful seagrass
from on 07/25/2017
This is my second update to my original review from 2/11/2017. I have at least 10 times as many stems now as I did five months ago, and have divided it into multiple plants. They have started flowering, too, though I have yet to see any ripe seed pods. Seems to grow larger in deeper sediment, say 3" or more, but still does fairly well in just 1". The old stalks die off after about a month, but by then there are about three new ones, and the old stalk sends out a new runner. Very tolerant of transplanting. I have a tank without a heater and it's doing well in there, too. I've read that when the newest leaves are red-ish they need fertilizer. My experience seems to confirm this, and the tabs used for freshwater plant have helped resolve the issue without large algae blooms in the rest of the tank.
Cute AND hardy

This is an update to my post on 2/11/2017. My heater burst on 2/15, killed all my corals, and blackened the leaves on my star grass. I pulled it out as soon as I got home, preserving just last inch and a half of the runner that had been growing under the surface and still had a couple green leaves and a bud. They survived the hasty transfer and lived in (heated and circulated) buckets without sand for several days. They've been in the new tank for about five weeks and have nearly tripled in size.
Great little sea grass

Received mine a week ago and it is doing well. The runners and roots seem to grow very quickly, the leaves a little less so, but they look nice and green and happy. The water was pretty cold when I pulled it out of the box, but it doesn't seem to have affected it at all. I did a 15 minute acclimation without any problems.
