Default Staurogyne "low grow" blooms

These pictures are from last week. My Staurogyne sp. (I think it is variety "low grow") plant bloomed.



It was not difficult to transition this plant to emersed growth. The leaves are actually pretty sturdy so I just planted the plant in a riparium planter and put it in a tank.



I have it in my 20-gallon with a bunch of other stems.

Thanks very much you guys. This Staurogyne really was pretty easy to bloom. I hope that I can keep it going. I chopped the top off because the plant looked like it might start to decline and die the way that some plants do after flowering.
