Hygrophila Polysperma Emmersed

I have also downloaded that to sort my albums out, i have yet to have a go on it's editing stuff. I'm still using Microsoft picture manager. Sorry to diverse, but does Picasa have a video editing section?

I'm not sure, I've only used it for picture editing.

it grows really nicely in my tank, but it is quite slow growing. I tend to snip it in half when it gets near the top and replant it.

I nip it in half when it nears the surface, but I find they are not so easy to replant cause they have no roots and tend to be uprooted easily.

Snip it so there are a couple of leaves near the base and just bury them with the stalk. They will just rot / recycle themselves or even grow out. It seems every part of this plant can potentially grow roots!

Yes, when I grew it in IL, I was able to get roots from a single leaf. It later became quite a nice plant. Probably one of the reasons why it's become such a pest in many parts of the US.

That is going to look lovely SBS when it continues to grow.

Its now growing so fast I dont know what to do with it lol, I have no more room in my tank and its now growing along the surface.

I've put mine in the garden in an open water but, grows like a weed then I'll give it away to other members.

That's the one drawback to living in FL, I can't keep this plant here. I really wish I could grow this plant again. Probably the best stemplant, IMO. Especially with regard to ease in growing. Superior, IMO, to Egeria densa and hornwort.

Add your emmersed growth picture to the profile in the plant index. I'll approve it. I need to go through all the articles anyway and update them. Bleh... Summer updates! But that's why everybody loves Planted. We check our links and update information and Ian and I are wondeful mods.

I decided to trim it all back, before reading your post Liz, dont suppose it'll be too long before it overgrows again.
