Hi out of curiosity can you please share pic of this moss please Regards Konstantin

Hi Sorry to bother you when you have your hands full with the house move and Im gutted you had aphid infestation too. My experience with Albida brown and Lutea hobbit is more or less same when I had them in propagator(Strong plants achieved but not much different from grown submerged with good...

Hi @Wookii How is the setup getting on? Regards Konstantin

HI Loving the setup. Hopefully it will do a good job. Regards Konstantin

Hi it should be ok. Just monitor the plants below it.If for some reason you get brown edges(wilt)close it a bit more.The thing with gasses is they always find their way in and out. You have chosen a little more challenging plants for propagation but tbh growing things emersed its really easy...

Hi they are using misters as they operate on large scale(whole greenhouses).The small propagators(aka plastic box with lid) we use does not require such manipulation as they maintain high humidity when closed due to the volume of saturated with water growing media. I prefer light permanent...

Hi I don't have much going atm but following my earlier post.Below is a small 8oz pot with Monte carlo I am keeping.It is started 4 ish weeks ago with 3 small stems with 3-4 leaves on them. Anyway Monte carlo is a weed emersed but the pics will give you idea about moisture levels.As seen there...

Hi I used to get similar slime in my setup. Best course of action is to dry the substrate in order to keep it check. Tbh I never had any standing water at all in my setup.I rarely misted and any water in the undertray was discarded after misting. Think in the lines of damp house plant pot...

Hi there The medium seems a little too wet for my liking. Sorry to hear about the C parva. It might have been a weak plant that failed to adapt.Do try another batch tho. I have only used Osmocote slow release granules as fertilizer as I always keep my propagators drier and it released nutrients...

Hi be careful when you put them outside. No direct sunlight should be hitting the propagator at any point.It will increase temperature inside very rapidly and will most likely scorch the leaves. Cost of running one of them propagators in summer will be more or less equal to the cost of running...

Hi I am totally pro experiments:) Following this thread as tried Albida brown and Buces in past .The albida brown became really beefed up but didn't send runners and the buces were on small lava stones with roots in the soil but didn't do much (they grew better in the tanks) My only word of...

Hi all. If the propagator is heated (or has a small heat mat under) there is no need for misting as it will evaporate water and maintain high humidity. I used to run cheap seed trays with small heat mat underneath and apart from initial wetting the substrate never misted.I also like to have...

Hi I had bucephalandras in propagator tied on small slivers of lava rock (5mm ish high) over moist but not too wet compost with osmocote in it as I normally setup for the other plants. It grew but nothing special and slower than in my low tech so I gave up.The soil I used may have been a...

Hi. I can confirm that Hygrophila Araguaia grows very well too in emersed setup.I was using heat mat as suggested last winter.Condensation was blocking lots of my light tho. Regards Konsa

Hi I will go for option two myself but will not just place a wall but make it like a aqua nano sump felled with coarse sponge that will be able to clean easy compared to the clay agregate that will collect a lot of mulm over time.This way U will ensure water flows evenly trough it and as it...

Hi Thanks for the replies.Never did blended fissidens in my other 3 tanks and thought will give it a go in my number 4.I imagine I need to keep good moisture levels too Regards Konsa

Hi all How long will be the preferred period of time before flooding to ensure I dont wash it all off if using fissidens yogurt method on some wood I want to moss. Regards Konsa

Hi The plants in lfs are in tanks because most lfs dont have any other way to keep them.They show no sign of melting because they have been there short term and the plant reserves are compensating.The melt is not an instant process .There is possibility that yor lfs has decent plant keeping tank...
