It depends on the system they are in. I had pods for about two years and they only grew about a foot. Root system was still very thin and stringy...if that makes sense. I bought more established plants though as well and they got real nice root systems fast and grew about 10" in a year with lots of leaves.

Pods are great but I am looking for the look of trees right away for my display tank and I don't want to wait a year or two for them to grow. I am being impatient this time.

I had some beautiful ones growing before I moved but they did not make it through the move.
