Congratulations on the success, getting these emerse ;).............

Nothing flower under water (=no pollinators:() - those which went down that road are extinct (=Darwin roules:cigar:!!!!). - when flowering take place under water (ex. the occasional Anubias) it is accidental. Usually induced by stress, provoking buds allready laying dormant. Vallisneria comes...

Note, that when you want to go back submerse..........the flowering stage of Staurogyne repens will have a more difficult transition.

Most likely Herniaria glabra............."Rupturewort" - used for quick carpeting inbetween rocks in japan-style gardening. .........and Herniaria is not an aquatic!

- neither is Invitro..........;)

De-ja-vu.......hmmmm.........reminds me of something..............:rolleyes: .......big business could be made, this way.........;) Sorry, no offense ment.....looks very good Valar :clap::clap::clap:

For a fantastic rootstructure for the Danio's, you might try Pistia stratiotes (Water Lettuce). It's a floating plant - quite fast growong and invasive, but you can just decide on only one plant in tank.

They should both do fine. Syngonium roots are better at underwater-life, than those of Fittonia, though. The latter therefore may benefit from a bit of sponge ( or whatever growing-media ) raised a bit above water surface, to secure parts of the root system above waterlevel. - good luck, plants...

If you cover the cork in moss, anyway - Utricularia gramminifolia will likely love to be tugged into this "ground" and spread happily. supposing humidity is quite high, ofcourse. If they establish, this will make a dense, low, bright green cover. UG grow quite fast above water, actually.

Maybe check my explaining on the thread of ID of plant, by Martin in China, in "plants" section. This gives other possible ways of adaption.

Like allready said - a lot of the common aquarium-plants can adapt to "standard-house-humidity".....but tbey will need acclimatisation, and original leaves will allmost certainly die off. Several have very nice flowers, actually (like Darrels Hyg. corymbosa). Often it is actually easier and...

Bucephalandra 'Kedagang' look quite OK grown out of water - and is one of the easy and "faster-ish" growing types !!

Hi Antoni Your "!Rotala mac. green" flowering, from july-photos.........is very defenitely Ludwigia palustris. Flowers of Ludwigia are very easily recognized, so I am absolutely sure (looks like small Fuchsia-flowers - same family (Onagraceae)). The Rotala mac. green is on one of your very first...

You will love it less, when you realise this is the stage, where leaves produce spores..............dusting everything around heavily ;)

:thumbup:

:thumbup:

I've decorated one for office-staff - allmost 100% self-sustaining, and still running. No condensation, dispite the misting-system, because of small fan installed. Light has sunset/sunrise automatically. Only things to check are waterlevel in mist-box (on top) and in hydro-box (beneath). A bit...

As a forum-rule, you know, I'm not allowed to "advertise" a business, to which I'm economically connected (which makes perfect sense, I will add). - So I can give you general info........ Buceph.s are now expensive, because they're difficult to get. As soon as they become accessable - price will...

Treat Bucephalandra species, like you would Anubias species - both above and under water. They really do behave quite alike (Buce's are usually even slower above water, though). I've tested several different ones (I deliberately avoid going into discussions on species/varieties!!!), and they've...

Antoni - you forgot Limnophila hipuridoides, Hygrophila sp. 'araguaia' and Ranunculus inundatus on your list ;) .......and they all look great !!!:thumbup:

Hi Tim Your "money tree" is Crassulaceae family. Most of those are desert plants, not really loving constant wet feet. This one is crassula ovata, I think. May work, though. Mick.

- that'd make a lot more sense, yes........:thumbup:

-just don't think Pilea seeds would be "coconut-like" ??

Spatiphyllum - Chamaedorea(palm) - Coffea arabica To be honest, I really don't think the latter two will enjoy soaking wet soil !! Mick.

It will drop leaves all year, more in winter. Each leaf is (relatively) short lived. This is why it is very important to keep the trre in at least some growth, during winter (= probaply added light)

Sorry, been off for holidays......... Pruning depends on what you want to achieve (ofcourse). Supposing you DON'T want a 20 m+. tall tree, I'd suggest removing top shoot, to force the tree into a low, horizontal crown. The nature of this tree is to grow tall fast, so it will do one or more new...

Terminalia catappa looks great, there :) - brings back memories, for me :happy: Good luck in pruning it in years to come ;) ...........I've grown this + the Ficus-types and the Psidium-types in S.A part of a Zoo exibit, showing free roaming animals and birds, years ago. They all grew like mad...

Oh - and just to add to this.........there are also conditions that trigger germination of different seeds, when you get that far .......:hungover: Mick.

Sorry to bring more things, to consider, Michael.........but your different plants may differ a lot less, than you think. Most likely with Anubias 'nana', they come from Tissue Culture..........which basically means all 100 milion plants are alike. I see "types" start to show in standard 'nana'...

You can grow - I'd say most of, actually - the plants at a humidity of 85%. Yes leaves will more often than not, dry out at transition..........the trick is to get new growth, that will then be acclimatized to the surroundings. Not as easy as it sounds, but defenitely not very difficult (to most...

Oh....... and by the way - whatever you do, DON'T smell the flowers of the Crypts ;) Mick.

Your Hyg. corymbosa is going to grow HUGE.............but it'll give an abundance of purple-blue flowers:thumbup: Mick.

Hmmm - hold ur horses ........... flowers of Rotala are usually not impressive. If you can find space for Hygrophila (fx. corymbosa or pinnatifida) you will have something nice to look forward to. Hyg. araguaia if space is limited. Bacoba carolineana has nice, blue flowers, Limn. hippuroides...

You've just got to love Pogostemon-flowers :geek:

Re: Tribute to a Tributary, emersed experiment Juncus should maintain acc. size :-) will produce a H...of alot of flowers eventually - which u may like, though :-) Mick.

Re: Tribute to a Tributary, emersed experiment forgot to mention Ludw. glandulosa - which stays REALLY red ( beatroot) emersed, actually. Just to let u know :-)

Re: Tribute to a Tributary, emersed experiment The altern. Mini does not get green emersed, but it`s really not very pretty either :-) The araguaia, though, does go green emersed. The standard altern. stay red too, given enough light. Have you considered some darkleaved crypts. ?
