水草情迷

各草友都打算換ADA泥﹐好似它是萬能﹐任何水草種落ADA泥（設備另計）就一定生得靚﹐其實有否那些水草種於「荷蘭砂」﹑「矽砂」或「黑鋼砂」是靚過種於ADA泥呢？

其實用ADX泥只是慳返D功夫吧了！
用荷蘭砂﹑矽砂或黑鋼砂也可以種出同樣效果啊！

加上好似我地呢d新手,唔多識野唔敢亂咁試,睇見人人都用ada,
所以諗住穩陣d,正因為咁,有起事上黎要請教,都多d有經驗既
前輩幫手嘛!!

有: 椒草是也.

椒草都有很多種﹐是否所有都得？
e.g. 黃椒草, 白椒草, 墨綠椒草, 大椒草, 氣泡椒草, 金椒草, 劍竹椒草, 緞帶椒草, 菲露椒草, 巨蛋椒草, 舌頭椒草, 雷洛椒草, 鵝卵椒草, 露蒂椒草, 咖啡椒草, 薔薇椒草, 紫花椒草, 迷你椒草, 桃葉椒草, 紫紅椒草, 紅葉椒草, 螺旋椒草, 縐葉椒草, 波浪椒草, 細葉椒草, 渥克椒草, 小椒草, 紅椒草, etc ...

Is 矽砂=荷蘭砂 ? Are they all silicon dioxide ? So many different names and pretty confusing

As GP / ray said, I think ADA soil is easy to use, don't need to care of lots of things, like PH, KH bottom fertilizer, .... . Other substrate can also grow plant healthy. The size of the ADA soil particle is also good fit for most of the plants's root development. In other words, it is easy to get good result even by new hands.
Of course there are new kind of substrate which also good or outperform ADA, let's wait for the trial result of other old hand like C@@lPix.

For the 椒草, I tried a few specises 咖啡/墨綠椒草... It seems propagate its root better in 矽砂 than in ADA soil, I guess it's root develops better in loosely substrates.
