Flowers In The Aquarium

Keystone
  • #1
I just noticed that some of the Bacopa that has grown above the waterline in one of my tanks flowered. I usually do my best to keep them submerged, but work had been crazy and I've been slacking a bit on upkeep. Anybody else have plants in their tanks flower? Let's see the pics here.

Unfortunately all my pictures of flowering plants were on a phone that broke. But I've had both aponogeton flowers and dwarf lily flowers. You can take a toothpick and propagate them tho since you don't have any pollinators. Just dip it in the water and swirl it around each bulb from separate plants.

I’ve had 4 more flowers since my last post here and for a few days 2 stems had flowers up at the same time. I think that I will make sure the Bacopa stays above the waterline in this tank.

I have Lobelia cardinalis that has grown above the waterline in 2 different tanks and I’m keeping my eye on them.
