So I am transitioning a 75 community from artificial plants to a low-mid light / low tech planted and one of the new plants in there is Anacharis.
I have it in the substrate (sand) and I realize it is a water column feeder. But it has done something I wasn't expecting. It has sent out roots, but some of the roots are from up higher on the "stalk" and then down into substrate. Sorta like when someone anchors down a young tree with a rope going from up high and then staked into the ground to lend it support. Does that make sense? The root is coming out 3 inches above the substrate and has grown down into the substrate.
This normal? Did I err in how I set them up? Just looks a bit odd...
