IMG_2829.JPGIMG_2832.JPGIMG_2833.JPGI have a Temple Plant in my 100 gallon. The IMG_2828.JPGfirst pic is the 100 gallon tank, and the second pic is the "mother" Temple plant from which I took some cuttings.

I keep my cuttings from all of my tankIMG_2830.JPGs in containers under a plant light. The Temple Plant cuttings grew up out of the water and produced some buds and many flowers. Here are some pics.

The order of the pics is a little mixed up.

I have to get used to the new format. The full tank shot is the 100 gallon, and the pic of the plant in the 100 gallon is the original temple Plant. You can see how the cuttings rose up from the water toward the plant light.

Wow, Holly, your tank is lovely. So lush and verdant. That is so cool that your Temple is blooming.

I was surprised when the cuttings grew out of the tub, and even more surprised when they flowered.

I will try to take better pics of the 100 gallon and post soon.
