I like product photography so I did this for my potted Cryptocoryne wendtii (more of these can be seen on my page: facebook.com/greenshackindia)

A part of my emersed storage unit. Has just half an inch of water. Everything is stored in pots.

Some closeups of what other pots I've potted and grown. Sadly lost few plants because it hailed heavily while I wasn't home. :(

Moved the first tray in with the second one in the heated prop.
It's already picking backing up.
 
Greenfinger2, any updates on the fissidens string? It's a really cool idea, I tried replicating it with no sucsess...

Hi Pedro, Not a lot happened it did grow a little :( So letting it dry out in the jar on the string.As when I tried on rock it failed and it dry out. When I used the rock in a scape a month or so later the fiss started to grow again and had attached to the rock :woot: So trying the same sort of thing again Will be using it in one of my new scapes.When i come back from holiday :)

Great plant growth you have there :clap: A little Wabi- Kusa in a jar :thumbup:
 
Just tried something, it might not work but I gave ot a try.

Since my propagators are closed jars, I've added a small birthday candle and lit it then immediately closed the jar, letting the flame extinguish itself and hopefully burning all the O2 and producing CO2 (and some CO as well I know...).

Would this be a good way of adding CO2? I'm thinking of doing this in the morning when I can (letting plants produce O2 during the day and spending it during the night)

Hi Pedro, Why :wacky: The plants get all the Co2 they need from the air surrounding them in the jar.
 
I'm keeping the jars sealed now and CO2 gets used during the day, so I thought I could make them grow a bit quicker if I supplemented the air with extra CO2.

The Experts will know more. The plants will grow at the same rate as they do in normal air. They only take what they need the extra Co2 will just be wasted. It like pumping Co2 in from a Co2 system its just wasting the Co2 and of no benefit to the plant.
