Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I also love floating water wisteria and water sprite instead of planting them.
  • Water sprite is one of my new favorite plants. The three plants I got in March for a new 20g are absolutely dominating it now and have made an awesome jungle.
  • Just because I have current anecdotal info, I have an Amazon sword and a bunch of Rotala h'ra doing well together in my 20g tall, and that's with the tank actually being dominated as a whole by water sprite.
  • Water sprite!
  • Besides Anubis, Java ferns, pearl weed, valiseria, dwarf sag, tiger lilies, water sprite and banana plants are all beginner friendly plants that come to mind.

Cons

  • Repeated failures across the board include water sprite, bacopa, anacharis, elodea, limnophila, many swords, many types of hygrophila, and dozens of other common and uncommon plants I've tried over the years.
  • Water wisteria and water sprite seem to grow fast, but for some reason I always kill those two lol.
  • I added co2 on a whim and have had to pull out some fast growing water sprite because it was taking over the tank on a weekly basis.
  • Plants that didnt make it have been Banana plant, Ludwiga Inclinata Verticillata, Ludwigia super red, Water Sprite, Duck Weed :) and Azola.
