Nice growth, so you keep all the plants in shade or direct sunlight?

All under shade currently, Andrew.

Time to bore you all again with pics 😀 Some shots from my cam this time..
Windelov with moss:

Tenellus growing and multiplying:

Bacopa and Echinodorous:

Pinnatifida newly cut from an existing stem, growing well.

Pleasant surprise!! I thought this Staurogyne "Porto Voelho" was dead. This is recovering well.

Cheers,

New setup. Comprising of hygrophilia quadrivalvis red, hygrophilia corymbosa "compacta", hemigraphis repanda, bacopa monnieri, one crypt and some hm.

Cheers,

Nice karthik.

Time to grow some ferns emersed. 🙂
How it started in Jan:

How it is now:

The ferns just need really high moisture but less water logging near their roots. They took a while to adjust to emersed growth and are now growing fast. 🙂 There are only Windelov and needle ferns in that container.

Just laying them on a grid and moisturizing them a few times a day might be more to their natural envrronment, i don't think i saw them growing at riverbanks in the soil, but as epiphytes near riverbanks.

Agreed 🙂 ive seen them as epiphytes too. But I found it easier to maintain moisture this way 🙂

Not sure the roots will handle this.have they been in long?

I've one growing in soil (rhizome on the surface) but not nearly that wet, just normal plant moist and then a cover over (not 100% sealed).

 

[KarthikC]

They're in there for about 3 months. The rhizome is above the soil. 🙂

i suggest you to put some foregorund plant into direct sunligt . dont' worry about humid MC and HC they need more sunlight to grow fast.

Hi all,

Mini Pelia:

Interesting, it looks almost like it might be a filmy fern, but the growth (pale green) from the end of the thallus means that it is a liverwort.

cheers Darrel

 

[KarthikC]

I was beginning to think that it is crepidomanes. However, as you rightly said, the growth at the tips suggests that it's a liverwort.

Cheers,

Karthik.
