Hi Michael, Did you start the emersed set up ??

 

[Michael W]

Hi Roy,

I did have something going but fungus killed them all. I tried letting more air to the setup to which the crypts reacted the best but it didn't stop the fungus.

I do have a Buce cutting which is ok but that is all there is really. Nothing too spectacular.

Hi Michael, Sorry to hear that Will you be giving an emersed set up another go

Glad to hear the buce cutting is ok though Any photos

Sure thing, will get it done. I actually have two emersed Buces going, one of them is a tiny baby one which I have previously shown in the emersed section of the forum, that one has sent out a new leaf. I think I'll place them in a shaded spot next to my orchids on the windowsill. I currently have them on the floor where they get whatever light they can. Their growth should speed up.
The cutting has a little yellowing on a tip of the leaf but the plant in general is not showing signs of deterioration so that one should be fine.

The main worry of me putting them on the windowsill will be the heat.
