GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR GROWING AQUATIC PLANTS
Many aquarists treat plants as mere decorative elements; others cultivate them
in the same way as they raise fish: they make them grow and even reproduce. It is
possible to find veritable "aquatic horticulturalists" who obtain astonishing results.

How do you know if your plants have a growth problem?
A plant lacking any of the elements it needs to live turns yellow or brown and
rapidly dies. The leaves get covered with a fine layer of filamentous algae and
eventually fall off. However, in some species it is not easy to tell when the growth
process is slowing down.
