Added some Beech nuts.

 

[Kezzab]

Exciting news. A random thing has germinated in the wild moss.


And also i found some unknown liverwort in the river so I've added a bit of that too.

 

[Kezzab]

Now with added Orchid. This is new territory.

Just make sure you dry the orchids out once a day, They get a lot of moist in nature but get dry also (dry exterior that is, not dessicate)

 

[Kezzab]

Roger that. Thanks for the tip.

Short update:
- The orchid is growing, not dying, it seems. Good result.
- The unknown seedling that arrived in the wild moss appears to be a Birch tree i think. This may be challenging. Bonsai tips please...

 

[Kezzab]

Hah! Misidentification Alert.

My Birch tree is actually Nettles.

Anyone else got an aquascape that features nettles?

Thought not.

 

[Kezzab]

Staring to grow in a bit now. Contemplating adding some additional plants into the moss. Not sure what though, any suggestions?

Amazing scape and denizens .Kudos!!!

 

[Kezzab]

Thanks @rebel I appreciate the kind words. All the BGA is out of shot!

 

[Kezzab]

Added some java fern up round the top...

 

[Kezzab]

I was weeding the drive this morning, thought this looked neat. Not sure what it is. In it goes!

 

[Kezzab]

This is really starting to grow in now. I added some woodlice as a clean up crew!

 

[Edvet]

Tropical springtails are often used as cleanup crew too

Hi all,

Not sure what it is. In it goes!

Bit late, but it's Saxifraga tridactylites, <"Rue-leaved Saxifrage">.

cheers Darrel

Ah, well it died...
