Can you please explain the meaning of, "frankly such setup will last about 14 weeks...past that they need to be replant".
thanks

meaning the plants will touch surface in 14 weeks..in my esitmate. and in my case the L aromatica. once this happen the top of the plant will breakup and develop into new shoots. i plant L.aromatica the same ways as E.stellata..in single fat stem without new shoots poping up. care must be taken not to damage the tops or new multipile shoots will form...which is of course is nice, giving the bushy looks but thats from a point of view of an unexperience planter.
once the plant hit surface ..you have 2 choices...one is to cut them and replant the heads... meaning staring all over again with the same plant...but believe me, they will not look as good as the frist time.
the other is to start with something new...which is the best choice. but then you dont need to tear up the whole tank, just replace the one you have cut.
