Does pH matter?
My question is, does pH matter? The water here has a naturally high pH,
but if i try and use pH-down (for the fishes) it just goes back up again in a matter of days. I dont quite know why, but are there any plants which dislike a high pH? I wouldn't worry about the pH. Contrary to popular belief, plants like hard water (which generally comes with a high pH). All the plants seem to be doing OK except for some long and dwarf pongol, do these plants need special treatment? Yes, they need to be dry. g I believe "pongols" are bog plants, not aquarium plants. No matter what you do, they die if you submerge them all the time. Put them in a terrarium or paludarium, but not in an aquarium. Unfortunately, a lot of pet shops are in the habit of selling bog plants as true aquatics. Sometimes they tell customers they are "annuals" that are supposed to die after a few weeks or months, and be replaced. :-P Do your research before you buy.
