Perhaps I didn't word my question well... in the absence of being crowded by
a previously established stand of (possibly allelopathic) Val I expected the
Sag to grow more strongly (faster etc) but I didn't expect the radical change
in leaf size. Wondering if that's likely to continue or if it's a temporary
phenomena?
I was planning to keep space between the Sag & Val in hopes that they will
happily occupy opposite ends of the tank in equivalently strong stands (uh
oh, separate but equal?) & leave room in between for other interesting
plants. We'll see how it goeth.
