Hi all!

I bought some rotala cuttings a couple of weeks ago.  It a beautiful 
plant and I love it, but something strange is happening.

The plant had small roundish leaves when I got it.  It still has those 
same leaves, but the new leaves (which are many) that have grown as the 
plant has grown since I've had it are long, slender leaves - nothing like 
the leaves that were grown on it already.

Can anybody tell me why this is happening?  I really like the original 
leaves a little better and the plant looks funny with the two different 
kinds.  (Yes, the whole plant is under water.)

TIA
Clayton
