Whats Wrong with my Cabomba?

[The Zigman]

Ok I remember I read somewhere when you have some kinda deficiency in the tank your plants are long and Stemmy, and the leaves are spread far apart..
And roots are growing from the stem above the substrate.

My cabomba is growing SUPER fast, but look how far apart the leaves are.. It doesnt even look like cabomba now..

Whats the deal?

Maybe too much light?

 

[The Zigman]

Nah, I only have 1.5 WPG...

Or actually the other way around. Most plants get leggy when there isnt enough light for them.

 

[Dan06]

Leggy? Does that mean when roots are coming out midway or higher up the stems?

 

[247Plants]

leggy means large spaces between nodes.

 

[Dangerdoll]

do you have CO2 going in the tank?

 

[rsanz]

I'm pretty sure that it's the low-light conditions causing the Cabomba to be leggy.

 

[Fishy_Fun]

I believe its your lights.I had the same problem but i upgraded to 4.0WPG got CO2 and ferts.You wouldn't even think its the same plant

Exactly, too little light.
