Fellas,
I’m wondering if my Oregon tort will ever grow more vertically. It’s on an epoxy ball mount (like a thick tall stem) and all it wants to do is extend horizontally. Originally I placed it at the top on the tank where there was strong horizontal flow so its growth form adapted that way. After moving it lower, but in still good PAR, it looks like a big space ship.
Thinking about fragging some big chunks and mounting them vertically. Thoughts? This growth form creates underside shading though all tissue is healthy underneath.
Original placement. Flow was pointed directly at it from the power head on the right.
New placement. Now not in direct flow. The upwards potential branches are beginning to narrowing at the tips with very little growth.
