Plants Stopped Growing

[CanadianWaters]

I've noticed this problem with a few plants I've bought now. I put them in my tank, they grow quite quickly and then after a few weeks/months they just stop all growth?

29 Gallon Low-Tech:
Aqua-Glo 25 Watt Fluorescent Bulb
Twice a week doses of flourish

I'm guessing it's just a lighting problem? I was thinking about putting some plants outside to try to do like a mini pond (like in TFH) Would they grow out there and then I could bring them back in?
Any help is appreciated!

What plants are you referring to specifically?

Mainly my "fast growing" stem plants. Neither my Cabomba or Moneywort has grown in like a month

I just had a question about an outdoor mini-pond. I wanted to do an airstone so that I could keep the surface agitated but if it's outdoor there'd be no way for me to plug one in? How could I get around this?

I guess my question is: How can I encourage growth(especially upwards growth) from plants such as moneywort/Cabomba/Jungle Val

Perhaps they just grew during quickly after trimming? Try trimming one stem and seeing if it grows back quickly and then slows.
