    Eriocaulon cinereum

    Thanks everybody, could this plant be a seasonal offering? As has been sugested, most on line sources appear to be out of stock. I found a "pot plant" yesterday that looks for all the world like Erio, it is described as Syngonanthus Mikado. I am unsure if this plant will tolerate immersion.

    Arcadia Jungle Dawn 40w LED spot

    Does anybody use this little spotlight? It was suggested to me by a reptile enthusiast who used it for growing plants in a Viv. It appears to be able to satisfy a light hungry floater that I have been trying to grow for years with little success. I am wondering, is it likely to provide...

    Overwintering Ludwigia sedioides

    I have recently tried this plant under a little 40w Arcadia daylight LED spotlight. It appears to grow very well. The real test will be at the end of the year, maybe I will manage to over winter it.

    Overwintering Ludwigia sedioides

    Can anybody suggest a light source that may be likely to maintain this exasperating plant?

    Overwintering Ludwigia sedioides

    Such a pity that a lovely floating plant appears to not be, "doable". it seems so counter intuitive when other plants from the same areas of south America can be easily grown in temperate Europe with a bit of help. Surely, somebody has mastered the requirements of this plant!
