Watering the aquarium plants.

With the notion here of course that this is a nice plant for my aquarium, where more of them is not a bad idea. And so I went to take a good look at my Vallisneria, where I just noticed that it is already reproducing. As this large plant has put out two shoots in opposite directions near it's own roots, where these have penetrated the gravel only a few cm away. From those two points, then one new plant is already well established, where a second one is just starting. Further more a third new plant has started near the better established one. Then there is a new shoot further out from these two, where I can only assume that this first offshoot from the main plant has traveled across and under the gravel for about 20cm so far producing new plants as it goes. So my one Vallisneria is already five Vallisnerias with no doubt more to come. This I guess is all one plant so far, where I have no idea it they will naturally separate. Kind of a shame that I will soon have to break this up when I move this plant and lots more to the bigger aquarium. So I guess that this Vallisneria is taking care of itself without myself having to do anything. Just the type of aquarium plant I like... Cardman http://www.cardman.com http://www.cardman.co.uk |
