I am trying to grow a large patch of H. micranthemoides in my 75G tank.
I have 390 watts of light on it, but my new Ozelot sword has taken off like
a rocket so now the babytears are partially shaded by the sword's huge
leaves. It isn't dying off, but it sure isn't growing, either. Is this plant just
a slow grower, or am I going to have to move it to a "sunnier" location to
get some growth? I don't believe it's a nutrient problem as everything
else in the tank is growing quickly, too.
Also, do these plants eventually grow good root systems?
Every time my cories go through it, I end up having to replant half of it. Maybe this is related to the slow growth?
