    Messing about

    No people that isn't a euphemism, the place really exists :D It's just up the road from me, give me a shout if you're round my way and I'll get you that pint if @Kezzab doesn't. It's the least I could do for the amount of plant knowledge I've gleaned off you over the years. I've already had a...

    Clear plastic riparium planters

    Thanks, I watched a few of the silencing videos. Think I'll also go down the air pump route, my tank is already filtered so this thing is purely for growing plants in. At the minute they are in pots hanging on the inside of the tank but I'm finding they restrict flow some what. Going to try and...

    Clear plastic riparium planters

    I'm tempted to get the small Marina Refugium, only 9cm wide just to put a little emergent display on the side of my tank. Problem being noise from the airpump. Do you think you could have it on a timer just to replenish fresh water now and again or do you run the risk of pumping stagnant water...

    Having said that, I'm sure I seen something on Walsted that said that you can plant it directly into the substrate as long as the top portion was out the water [emoji848] Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    Haha yeah, might be a bit heavy for a tank. I was just meaning would leaving it in some water until roots establish like I did with the Pothos and Peace lilly work or does the cutting need to go straight into some soil? Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    What about Umbrella plants? Where I was working today they had quite a large one in the corridor which was in serious need of a trim so I helped them out :rolleyes: I've just placed the cutting in the top of the tank for now until I work out what to do with it.

    Hiya mate, I'm planning on keeping this cutting in soil only permanently. I figured fill the pot up with water and let this evaporate or plant drink it away so the cutting goes from one stage to the other gradually. Sort of like a pond drying up like a bog would at certain times? Not sure if...

    My logic was that this is a bog plant generally submerged in water? The cutting has been sitting in the tank a few weeks and already has one big main root. Not sure if coming from unlimited water to moist soil is good or bad so thought water half way up the soil might benefit, not sure now.

    Job done this time I hope. Is it best to keep a fair amount of water in the soil or can this rot the root? I've actually got it standing in an old cd case nigh on filled with water or would it be best to just keep the soil moist and not underwater? Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    Interesting, the chemical removing properties seem to be more focused around the roots, soil and rhizosphere rather the plant foliage. Either way, great to have a few plants kicking round the house. Thanks for taking the time to post that.

    Thought it was a bit of a push, I've read that it removes everything from benzene, carbon monoxide and even formaldehyde from the atmosphere. Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    Oh, that's what I meant to ask. There's a lot of stuff about these plants removing "Toxins" in the air, usually by the people selling them. Any scientific fat behind this @dw1305

    Honoured :) The peace lilly cutting I have is still thriving and I actually got a cutting off the Pothos that already had quite a large section developing on it when i lifted it out of the tank. Going to leave them both in water for a while the try Darrels pop bottle thing until it...

    Nice one gents, I think I'll leave the cutting sitting on the edge of my tank until I can physically see some root growth to edge my bets. Do you know if the same applies to peace lilly? Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    Just normal soil? I took a cutting from a Pothos that was on the rim of my tank and put it in some soil in a small pot that was well watered but it just dried up and died. The Pothos has filled out again so was going to try and get another cutting. A youtube video showed putting the cutting in a...

    While we're on the subject, can you plant pothos cuttings in soil. Stuff I've found on net shows putting in glass of water until root develop then just putting in a bowl with what looks like clay balls or stones. Sent from my STH100-2 using Tapatalk

    Found a use for the little pots you usually get from the lfs if anyone is interested . I can't claim all of it as I saw someone make wires for curling round the plants on YouTube so it's just a variation on the theme. I was using one of those glass bowls with suckers you can get online to put...

    Best terrestrial plants for Emersed growth

    Thanks @zozo just wondered as I'm throwing a load out tomorrow. With you saying hc did well at the water line wondered if mc did as well. I have a piece of wood with some nooks on water line just wondered if it was worth while stuffing some in. I'll look at your other suggestions, have to be...
