[APD] Aponogeton ulvaceus plant query
I recently added 3 Aponogeton ulvaceus (Compact aponogeton) plant to my
18" high freshwater tank and after a few weeks they are growing nicely.
The thing is, they are now growing leaves (including stems) of 24" and I
was informed via a plant book and the suppliers web site that it grows
14-16 inches tops.
The substrate does have a fertiliser and the plants are next to my CO2
bubbler. I've 2x40" T8 tubes on my 4' tank. One is Triphos.
Suppliers site:

I'm curious to how long they will get.
Oh and one more thing...
One of the 3 is even growing a flower spike which is now at the water
edge. Should I allow this to flower or should I cut it off?
I heard that some plants you need to do this to keep the plant from
going dormant?
