Echinodorus reproduction



Hi all APDers,
    After becoming a big fan of E. species, I would like to compile data

that relates basic aquarium parameters to growth of a flower/plantlet
stalk
(peduncle.)  If anyone has had a sword plant do this, please e-mail me
the
following:

Plant:
    species    growth form (emersed/submersed)    size
    approximate age    location of plant (driftwood, shade, etc.)
   recent stimuli to plant (removal of old growth, replanting, etc.)

Substrate:
    type    depth    age    cleaning schedule

Water:
   hardness    pH    temperature    water change    recent changes to
system
    nutrient levels (if available)    circulation
Light:
    type    amount (wattage)    duration    recent changes to system

Fertilization:
    type    frequency    CO2    recent changes to system


    Thanks in advance to all who participate and an apology for the long
post.
