I don't understand how they become like this in 15 days. As far as I understand, this is normal soil. What do you put in it, my friend, it grows so quickly?
I noticed that you always trim the tops but you don't remove the bottoms, even if they are from the old emersed form and have some algae on them. Is there a reason that you prefer to keep them planted instead of uprooting them and replacing them with the new top trimmings?
