what causes stem plants to grow out instead of up?
the plants i am having this problem with are Ludwigia repens, Hygrophila polysperma and Wysteria
it happens in all three of my planted tanks too...
Tank #1 = 10 gallons, 30 watts of T8 light, EI dosing, DIY CO2 w/ excel
Tank #2 = 10 gallons, 2 20 watts PC screw-in u-shaped bulbs, EI dosing, Excel only
Tanks #3 = 75 gallon, 128 watts of T8 light, EI dosing, DIY CO2
in all three tanks the above mentioned plants are planted in the back of the tank, and background, with the intent that they will grow up to the light, but instead they grow towards the front of the tank and shade the low growing foreground plants...
what am i doing wrong and how can i get the to grow up?
more light?
less light?
