Re: [APD] Veronica Sword



Nutrient limitation, espeicailly CO2 will keep the "Kleiner Bar" smaller for a long time. Kasselmann, upon seeing a sample of the larger plant going around was convinced that it is not true Kleiner Bar (Little bear?).

Thank you kind sir for your info on the Veronica.  I was at the point  of 
trying to coax the bloom stalk to the top but i can now relax and let it  meander 
!!!

It is heading toward a fairly open part of the front of the tank so it  
should have room. and i can imagine easily the show It would really make with  
several putting out stalks at once!

Perhaps i have been mistaken before and there were other causes for this  but 
i have had bloom stalks that did not reach the surface that failed to  
produce pups.  You are saying that this plants stalk will produce pups more  like a 
runner rather than actually having flowers then pups?

You also mentioned restricting nutrients to control growth.  Is this  also a 
possibility with the Kleinar Bar and the fact that some people have been  
disappointed in the large growth when in fact it is just a nutrient limitation  
that keeps it small and our good ferts, high light CO2 enriched tank spur the  
growth?

thanks again for your info on the plant. it is very attractive and i would  
like to get some pups as i have never seen it offered for sale.
