Hi all,
I have consistently had some difficulty with this plant. Is it easyish to grow?
It seems to do quite well when I leave it in the pot, sending out runners etc. However, the leaves are very thin and shorter than usual. They tend to look quite 'straggly' - certainly not like it is in the shop when bought or in the books.
When planted, they don't do much at all. Only occasionally sending out runners
The tank has good flow with a spray bar across the back. CO2 injection looks good with DC green from lights on. Photoperiod is 7 hours a day, using LED lights, set at 23% intensity due to the fact I have four Grobeams. No algae to speak of although I get occasionaly BBA probably as a result of doing water changes before lights out some times.
Dosing my own ferts in liquid form, using EI method. Substrate is fairly basic and 3 years old.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul
