My guess would be that the problems with the bald cypress is that you are
trying to grow them inside. IMHO they would do much better if grown outside
or in your green house.

Well, that is what i am trying to overcome. An aquarium display indoors with my
bald cypress, water tupelo, and mangroves growing along side cattails and some
other emergent plants. mangroves grow great but not bald cypress. I need help
please
