Greetings
I have a planted 15 gallon tank, 3 weeks old, with sunset hygro in it. I have been fertilizing it as per 'liquid fertilizer instructions' with every water change. I also have DIY CO2. All plants are doing well except the sunset which is very leggy.
It grew very fast and I was amazed at the mass of roots that it would send down from approximately 6" on downward. The upper portion of the stem has beautiful leaves but they are at times 3" apart on the stem.
I would like to trim the plant and replant/encourage growth on the bottom portion of the plant. If I were to remove the plant, cut the bottom 6" and plant this, would leaves grow? What about the upper portion of the plant? It has leaves but few roots. If I were to replant the upper portion would it take?
Thank you in advice.
