Ensure you are using the correct type of lighting and amount of lighting.
Reply:how much CO2? how is it diffused?

how much light? what type? watts per gallon?

what kind of substrate?



all matters....



what fertlizer if any are you using?



wysteria grows like mad......not too much will grow faster and if your not happy with that rate not much will help.



wysteria should grow about an inch a day.



you have to match your co2 dosage to your light duration, provide iron in the substrate and lightly fertilise to produce strong plants....



accurate details are important to answer this question
Reply:Your plants are probably nitrogen starved (possibly other minerals). You can test the nitrate level. If it is 0, you should dose some nitrate ferts for aquariums. Also, look into getting some PMDD fertilizer for aquariums.
Reply:Try Flourish. I did for the first time this week, and my plants have been growing like crazy. The Hornwort grew three inches in one night--no joke!



Goooooood luck!
