Default Roots in the Water Column


No, the problem I'm having is with roots way up in the water column.
The roots are growing where the leave nodes are, and are forming a
system/network in the water. Some of the roots actually head down
towards the substrate but it is a long way down! Others just branch
out in the water itself the way roots usually do in the ground - like
the roots of the water lettuce.

My substrate is 2.5 inches 100% Fluorite. The light does penetrate
the upper inch or so I'd say, but that's only because my dwarf
hairgrass ground cover has not spread yet.


Then it could just be that the plant just shoots them out, looking for
nutrients... typical of hygro, and anachris....

Might just need some extra attention....

take a picture, you've got me interested now..
