What's the trick with cabomba?
Wasn't sure, but knew or thought it had something to do with light spectrum,
although Dave P's scenario differed, it could have many variants, dependancies or reasons why some do better.... I tried it, and all the limbs would come off, and I'd have a tassle... All top, no bottom.... then someone/thing decided it tasted good... no more cabomba.. "dam n" wrote in message ... Actually Red, it's the opposite. The blue spectrum encourages short and bushy growth while the red spectrum makes plants grow long and leggy. "RedForeman ©®" wrote in message ... I was told that it's because of too much blue in the spectrum, or something similar... One color makes it grow tall, one color makes it bushy, not tall.... IIRC, blue makes it go tall, red makes it bushy.... Anachris is the same way, if the light has more reds, it'll be bushier leaves, thicker between branches, and more blue will make it reach for the top of the water.... I could be wrong, and I reserve the right to be wrong at anytime without hesitation... haha.... "Dave M. Picklyk" wrote in message . ca... Why does my cabomba grow with big spaces between leafs and straggley? Is the trick lots of light? I only have 2wpg in a 15gal wide. I do PPMD, traces, and have good values of C02 like 35ppm. All my other plants grow extremely fast and lush (I have to prune 2-3 times a week) I used to have a bunch of this stuff but got disgusted with the poor growth that I limited it now to a little part of the brightest spot in my aquarium. The stem seems to grow rapidly but the leaf sections grow wide apart and not condensed and thick like. Thanx for any opinions!!! -- Dave Picklyk www.picklyk.com/aquascape |
