jn Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks for posting that Alan So it gets slightly busier if you trim it like most others huh.. Nice rounded leaf actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Slow growing, needs good light and will branch if cut back and replanted. Not realy commercial (slow to grow and a long time to convert from emersed) so not normally sold in the shops. I am trying to get some going and hopefully will have some on this site late summer/ autumn. This is the only submersed one I have at present.

jn Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 So you worked out I meant bushier and not busier! My typing has been shocking lately! I think I've seen then selling the emersed form as a pond plant. I'm always keen on plants that can do double duty!! Right now the only 'plant' in my tank doing very well is string algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have not seen it in nurseries as a seed or plant even though there are lots of other lobelia. There is a red leafed variety sold as an aquatic but it is a disaster if submersed in my experience (I tried growing it last year for the last time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
