Well, when I bought this "tri color" (light brown, medium brown, and dark brown), I put it up as high as I could so it would "color up". Little did I know it was such a fast grower. Before I knew it, the little fellow had grown attached to my rockwork, so I left it there. At that time it was about an inch from the water's surface. This is no longer the case. Now it is beginning to invade my living room. Any bets on how high out of the water it will get?

I'll let you know if I prune it back. I suppose I'll have to sooner or later.

It will probably start growing horizontally along the surface soon, but I say it gets 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch out of the water before it stops growing up.
