Just wondering if anyone has Micro-Swords growing sucessfully. They are supposed to be somewhat an "easy" plant as long as light , substrate requirements are met. I have just shy of 4 watts 6700K per gallon lighting, CO2 injection (approx 25ppm CO2), 6.8 pH and 5 dKH. I use Jobe's fertilizer spikes cut to about 1mm and 3 approx 2" from the root base. My substrate is 100% Florite. Also, water column 5ppm Nitrate and .5 Phoshate, ? potassium ( I could dose more potassium) dGH is 6. I have had it for about 4 months and have searched it, there are 2 types ,one rapidly spreads and the other slowly spreads. Both are similar in appearance and mine was just labelled "Micro-Sword" . I assume it is the slower spreading variety, because it hasn't grown much. I read that trimming it down help growth but having tried that, it barely grew back after a month or 2. Other plants both high and low light are thriving. There is no "shading" from other plants, it is in direct light. Any suggestions? I may replace it with Pogostemo helferi or even Riccia Fluitans if I can find some. But am still interested in making these things grow just the same.
