	Anacharis Roots
renoharps Hobbyist Posts: 97 Kudos: 75 Votes: 5 Registered: 21-Feb-2005	How long will it take for Anacharis to develop roots when planted in gravel? Also, is there any fertilizer recommended to get them started?

I have Eco-Complete for planted aquariums and they get a lot of crisp white roots. For fertilizer, they dont seem to need to much, maybee a dosing of iron a few times a week.

It is a floating plant (that many folks [myself included] stick in the substrate). Some of mine occasionally grow a thin, whitish shoot that seems analogous to a root, but I don't think it truly is.
