Wisteria

[FishKeeper-16]

Are Wisteria plants easy to keep? I am also wanting to keep them with Micro Swords plants in a freshwater tank with nueteral pH and 78 degree temp. I only want to add fertilizer as a last resort.

foolproof. Mine grew so much I decided to pull them out Also anacharis is pretty easy. Fish poop is a good fertilizer.

Yeah, my wisteria has grown like crazy. I have it in all my tanks, simply because it looks very nice, and is very easy to keep.

Mine is super easy. I actually threw half of my original bunches away and trimmed the others in half and planted the top growth because I wanted bushier plant. It grows like mad.

Bully all that. Also, once they start growing, it is really beneficial to trim off the dead, brown section that occasionally crop up. If you don't, they'll break off and start to throw off roots from their upper foliage.

If it gets too tall can you trim the ends? If you replant the ends will they grow?

Yes you can, and in fact it will begin to get bushy from my experience when you do so.

And yes, you can replant!

Then I'm gonna start snipping! Thanks Mooch!

Thanks for the advice, I love bushy plants and when should I have to use plant food? Is there any great plant food that will not affect fish, water chemistry, ect?

Also, does Wisteria and Micro Swords have a dormant period?
