Hi all
I ordered some Juncus repens from Tropica and they had obviously been grown emersed. They already had some flower spikes forming but over the last couple of days (I only set it up 4 days ago) the flowers have grown a fair bit.
I think they look pretty cool.
Has anyone else experienced these, and do they develop any more than this?
I was also wondering about the plant as a whole. Will allowing it to grow emersed restrict submersed growth, I wonder? Is it possible for the plant to grow in both states simultaneously, adapting as it grows out of the water?
I have to confess to being an emersed aquatic plant newbie!
