Lace plants like many aponogeton will hibernate. There is mix literature that suggest they have to be removed or if they can be left in the aquarium. They seem to do better in cooler aquariums and if there is sufficient nutrients to slow bulb exhaustion. The pictured aquarium runs around 75.5 during winter but during summer it does get up to 78. This lace plant hasn't hibernated in 2 years. The one in my low-tech tank (pictured below) also has not hibernated in 2 years but is slower growing.I love a pretty jungle! I'm not sure how to ask which plants I'd like IDs on...I know some...OK, what are the long red leaves front & center in your last pic? I have a guess but I think it's wrong...sigh)
I wish I could grow mad. lace for very long...do you have a "trick" for it?
The red plant in front is a combination of Crypt Sprialis 'Red' and Crypt Sprialis 'tiger'. They have actually done quite well and started to spread. When i move i'll put everything into a larger aquarium but reorganize things so the tall plants are in back and short plants are in front. The other red plants in the aquarium that are visible are myriopyllum roraima (which i like a lot); rotala blood red sg (very left) and rotala ha'ra (right side) (i prefer the blood red). On the left there is a lot of pink jacaboi (crypt) but it is being shaded too much to show its lovely shade. There is also a kleiner prinz sword which is a very nice wine colour but it too is now over grown and has started to turn dark green.
