Lead weights?
The reason I pull them up is to replant the top half! As to the health of
the plants, most stem plants are fine with this. Of course plants like Cabomba and such can be fussy about this, but I'm sure you knew this! Maybe it has been discussed, but I couldn't remember so I asked a question. This is what the newsgroup is for. -- Craig Brye University of Phoenix Online "WD" wrote in message news:ady8a.293355$2H6.4525@sccrnsc04... "Craig Brye" wrote in message ... Does anyone use lead weights to keep stem plants from floating around? Are they safe? I recently saw some in a store, but neglected not to get any. I'm sick of constantly having to pull up my stem plants and then replanting them in the gravel. I have to clip them every 4-5 days or they'll take over the tank. I would love to just wrap a lead weight around them and drop them in. -- Why are you pulling them up to prune them? This is silly and damaging to the health of the plants. Wash your hands and arms well with hot water, dry them, and reach in there and prune. Aside, the lead weight are fine, it's been discussed to death. No reports of negative impacts from lead weights. |
