I don't even want to think about it. A hair like structure (growth) is strange for me as well, except of course if it is thread or staghorn algae.

If this is the flower for Wisteria then thats not what is going on. Edit: Fixed the link!

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Yes its a theme tank LOL i dont know what theme it is but it has a "reef" decoration you can see in the pic, and a "fish service station" decoration. Maybe a reef service station theme? LOL I think then what is happening is your wisteria is flowering! I didnt know they did, but hey, doesnt mean it cant happen. If it looks like flowers, it probably is flowers. I know some plants, like houseplants, only bloom when they are really rootbound and really happy. I cant wait to see a picture!

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Well, it could be that your plant is sprouting babies off to one side. You really need to take a pic. I have never seen wisteria do anything other than grow water roots off the side, which look like very thin, white or brown threads. Sometimes these will grow new plants. Let me get a picture of the ones on my wisteria to compare. Be right back. Edit: Ok got some pics, is this what you have. new root: advanced root shot 1: advanced root shot 2: Last edited by So_Very_Sneaky at 14-Dec-2005 17:59[/font][/font][/font] Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	I have a few strands of the stuff that is around 4 inches long. It is quite thin. There are only a few strands tangled here and there. I will get a picture up as soon as I can get a hold of a cammera. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	Right now I have some vine type things growing out of my wisteria. Does anyone else have such things?? They kind of look like they have really really really little plants growing off of them too. I will try to post a picture the next time I steel my friends cammera.

tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003	I would really like to see a pic of that. That will tell the story. This is a very thin (thin as the hair on your head (if you have it there)) Yes, got plenty of hair, no teeth, but plenty of hair My Scapes

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	tetratech, It is not a root growing from the stems. I have quite a few of though pulling the plant into an opening so it can get light. This is a very thin (thin as the hair on your head (if you have it there)) and it has little very very small plants or maybe even flowers that are growing on it. I can't really tell where they are coming from but they seem to be all over entangled in my wisteria. Hope this helps a little. Edit: Maybe Donkynutz can give a better discription to help me out.

tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003	Sorry got to this late. Where you see these vine-like things, is the plant growing vertical or along the substrate. I get alot of root develop along the stems that grow horizontial and then I get a new little plant. That's pretty much how it spreads along the bottom. My Scapes

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	If this was a plant growing out of water I would call them arial roots. Therefore if on a water plant I assume they are called water roots.

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	The vine things you are seeing are called water roots. They grow at the joints between branches and allow the wisteria to take nutrients out of the water. This commonly happens in most wisteria plants, but espescially in nutrient lacking substrates. A good push in the gravel plant spike (I use Jobes plant spikes for lush ferns and houseplants), will help the plant get more nutrients, and help to slow the growth of the water roots.
