“The optimal growth temperature for A. platensis is 35 – 38 °C. This poses a major limiting factor outside the tropics, confining growth to the summer months.[22] A. platensis has been grown in fresh water, as well as in brackish water and sea water.” (wikipedia) | “The optimal growth temperature for A. platensis is 35 – 38 °C.

"The water need to be pure for the reasons we just explained. This doesn’t mean that you have to use bottle water but you should filter the tap water – something like a Brita filter will do just fine." "If you use river water, use UV filters in addition to active carbon filter(the Brita type), as you might have other algae or organisms in the water that could compete or eat spirulina."(http://www.spirulinaacademy.com/how-to-grow-your-own-spirulina-at-home-the-culture-medium/) | |||
"Spirulina requires relatively high pH values between 9.5 and 9.8 ( Belkin and Boussiba, 1971)" | |||
