Hi..
One of my favorite plants in "red marble val"
It's also big. Very big. The last time I had it one
plant made 4' green leaves, Iended up giving it away.
[Bonsai theory]
Can this be applied to aquatic plants?
It can.
I think so. Last xmas or thereabouts I obtained 4
red marble val plants and stuck them in these small
square glass thingies sold as/for candles. Almsot
any Goodwill or Sally Ann has them for about a quarter.
It seems to work. I have a nice lush growth of these
things now, and none of the leaves are more than about 18"
tall.
Sagittaria subulata in 1,5cm sand: 18 cm
Sagittaria subulata in 8cm sand: 45 cm
Makes sense. I do notice the bigger the sustrate depththe bigger
the plant.
It's too early to say if they'll stay small, but we'll
see.
Did you ever try sunflowers?
No. I guess it works the same way there too?
