On post 19 it is Java moss. The log on post 9 is covered with another one. Not sure what it is. It looks like Java moss but is thicker and grows a bit downwards.

Tim and Jordi, what kinds of moss are you growing?

Edit: Just noticed Jordi you said Java Moss.

Hi Michael, Xmas moss on most of the wood with some fissidens on two bits, fissidens struggles and on the rocks is anchor moss this stuff does really well emersed ime.

I don't think I have heard of anchor moss before, do you have a picture of it submerged Tim?

 

[kirk]

Oh go on then here's my effort well lack of, the back birds keep digging it all up.😀

Looking at all of yours, I have been inspired to go into the garden and clean the one up I got from a carboot for 2squid!!!. Here it is cleaned up. I started our lettuce peas and beans off in it earlier in the year. I've yet to test the heating of it.

Sort of 🙂 just below the exclamation point rasbora


I'll try and get a better pic of it over the weekend mate.

My way of propagating moss, any moss, is to chop it up, drop it in some tank water, put some kitchen foil over the top, and give it a semi-shady spot on the window sill; works a treat (when dry-starting moss, this is the perfect way to prestart it about 4-6 weeks, and then just add some blobs to wood and stone; I'll update Crimson Projekct soon to show the results from about 3 weeks of DSM with "prestarted" moss).

Just planted a few bits I'll will up date in a mth or so should they survive/ I remember to water them😀

 

[Vinkenoog1977]

Restarted my propagators today...

Micranthemum sp. "Monte Carlo"

Micranthemum Umbrosum & Micranthemum Micranthemoides

Rotala Rotundifolia & Rotala Rotundifolia sp. Green

Let's see how this round goes... I hope as well as the previous one, cause I will be needing quite a bit of the MC and RR for rescapes in September. 😉

(sorry 'bout the crappy phone pics)

I think fissidens is a true aquatic Tim and will do better if kept fairly wet

 

[kirk]

Whoops!!!!! Left mine out in the sun and they have boiled away 😀

 

[kirk]

I will start again but in the shade 😀 the hair grass is the only survivor.

growing plants has never been so easy. So I have a load of baby tears, now what's the best method of introducing them back into the tank? Do you let them grow to to a nice height or is better to plant while they're still a couple of inchs in size?

next step will be to try rescuing the lugwiga sp.

growing plants has never been so easy..

go on rub it in why don't you😀

Hello everyone!
Inspired by you all I also decided to set up a propagator to grow some HC for what is to become my first proper aquascape. It's been a week and I'm already beginning to see positive signs of growth.

 

[Vinkenoog1977]

Added a little experiment; typical garden soil covered with some gravel, piece of bogwood on there, and chucked on some Javafern-plantlets I saved from thinning out Indiscipline. Also, I added the Riccia I had left. Wondering if this will work, time will tell!

 

[Andy Thurston]

I'll probably have a few spare stems to get you started in a few weeks hoggie

Pm your address if you still want a few stems, can post today/tomorrow
