I have seen and read that most people plant their Glosso stalk by stalk. I have recetly read a book from Taiwan saying that Glosso could also be planted like moss, ie, spreading them on a wire mesh and covering with a net, has anybody tried this method before.?

Glosso do well in my tank with ADA amazonia substrate... I think it melt away due to it can't acclimatise to the tank, most probably the source is in emerge form.

Yes, ADA soil is good for growing glosso. The melting might be due to other factor. For reference, go to AMK biotope and take a look at their display glosso tank!

Thanks, indeed, they grow like weed in ADA substrate system. It is about nutrient control. Regards
