And I Call It "seymour"

[fishclubgirl]

As I travel on business a fair amount on business, I alway check out the lfs and I made this find in Lethbridge. It was down to 2-3 leaves and just the bulb and five dollars. It's now a month later and it's flowering and taking over the tank(hence "Seymour"). It's an aponogeton ulvaceous and one of my favorite plants(this month!!)

I heard aponogeton bulbs go dormant every so often. Is this true? Does it just die off and then grow back later or do you have to do something special?

I have also been told that if you don't prune the flowering stalks of Aponogeton that main body of the plant will die.

I love this plant myself, I had on do exactly this. One day huge, long, bright green, flowering and then the next started dying off till I had to pull it. Every piece of info I found on it says it does indeed have a "winter" period. They say plant the bulb next to a plant which doesn't go dry and leave it there for about 3-6 months. I am going to try another one soon and try this out.
