I tried this same bleach-water solution on some other plants from "The Wild" that same evening and have noticed no effect yet. These were collected just for kicks, and include one piece of Ludwigia peploides, two stems of Hydrilla verticillata (which is illegal to possess in this state by the way, so it will be immediately destroyed), and three stems of Ceratophyllum echinatum (I think). |
The Ludwigia stem has grown 4 inches since its bleach bath; the Hydrilla and Ceratophyllum pretty much died (just a small piece of Ceratophyllum coming back, floating at the top).
