Crimpled E. Stellata
This time even the lower level tops got crimpled...
What can it be ? Too little K (finally lowering at 35 mg/l) ? Too much NO3 (about 30 mg/l) ? Regards, Philippe |

Crimpled E. Stellata
Have you excluded the possibility that the plant is simply branching
out? E. Stellata has an odd way of branching out, the main central stem stops growing, shrivels up a bit to form a "knot" so to speak, then 4-5 new shoots grow from this "knot". Just a possibility.... Can't say I've noticed this occur in older/lower leaves though, they usually just suffer a little from being shaded by the tops. Not sure about the K and N levels, can't say I ever noticed any problems when playing with higher levels myself. Let us know what happens Giancarlo Podio "Philippe Lemaire \(remove oldies\)" wrote in message ... This time even the lower level tops got crimpled... What can it be ?

Should I have said crimped ?
Or did my ISP loose the answers ? Philippe "Philippe Lemaire (remove oldies)" wrote in message ... This time even the lower level tops got crimpled... What can it be ? Too little K (finally lowering at 35 mg/l) ? Too much NO3 (about 30 mg/l) ? Regards, Philippe |

Some tanks have had high NO3 as well. Consistency maybe part of the problem. Good CO2, NO3, K, PO4, GH, traces will help most all plants grow well. IME, Eustralis loves NO3. I would make sure to question the test kit. Do large water changes andf dose KNO3. Find out what the NO3 level is in you tap, consider the amount N coming in from you fish load also. If it does not add up to the test kit numbers, you have a problem. I think NO3 going too low causes issues for many people, especially at higher light. Same for CO2. Regards, Tom Barr |
