[APD] RE: Size of Echinodorus tenellus

["Rachel Sandage" <rachelsor at hotmail_com>]

Jim Seidman has two patches of E. tennellus which are different sizes. I 
have one patch, but with similar characteristics. I bought the original 
plants in 2001. They had been grown emersed and looked awful for a while as 
they changed over to submersed growth. But after that, they began to grow 
and look great - only they were huge. Like Jim said, at least 6" tall. I 
think I even posted to the APD looking for an ID for them, because they were 
so big - and also a deeper green than most E. ten.

Then I had a real run in with BBA, and the E. ten was hard hit. I pulled it 
all out & bleached it. When it started to grow again, it came in lighter 
green and shorter - and has stayed that way for over a year. Same plants.

I can't explain it, but thought it might make you feel less alone...
