Plants Growing Roots Above The Substrate

[CheniseMummy]

Hello nearly all but my amazon swords have started growing roots up the stems. Is my tank lacking in something. I use plant substrate columbo, Dose TN+ daily have just added root tabs with iron enrichedment. Have a nutrafin co2 diy system going. 2.1wpg

Aerial roots.
Not a problem. Sometimes it can show that there isnt enough nutrients.
You can trim them back. The stems can be trimmed too, to encourage more compact growth.

Great thanks where do i trim higher or lower, can i just replant these stems and the cut parts will grow back?

Have a read of the pruning guide.

you can also put some more substrate around the roots at the bottom if you dont want to chop them off.
