My stem plants: Ludwigia, Bacopa, Tricoronis rivularis (Mexican Oak Leaf),
Telanthera Lilaciana, and Cabomba are all growing well, and have been pruned
regularly. My problem is that they all keep "dropping roots" from many of
the leaf nodes. The plants seem to be very healthy, but I don't like the
look. Is this caused by some deficency or is are the plants doing "too
well"
