    Emersed hybrid

    Hi! Guess this is not pure emersed culture but something like that. This is the tank replacing broken 600l The stand is under construction (its too big now) and there will be some more emersed growing Anubias. Echinodorus is either E grandiflorus or E grandifolius wich I bougt to grow...

    Emersed hybrid

    Im so sorry I have to say "no". The tank started to leak without any warning (well, isnt that the way this usually happens....?) at the beginning of this month and we had to empty it immediately. Oh my, it was a total chaos but fortunately we (incidentally!) noticed the leak before it caused any...

    20cm of water, ideas

    Thanks OllieNZ, I just recognized your answer. Yes, that excatly what Im hoping for. Some Hygrophilas look indeed very nice growing emersed. I found Ophiopogon gigantea-labelled plant from LFS :)crazy:) wich has grown nicely emersed for about three weeks now. It is growing in the pot filled...

    20cm of water, ideas

    Anyone? Are Echinodorus and Acorus (among some "traditional" aquarium plants that will grow emersed) really only option for growing plants in a bit deeper water? Some Cyperus species could work too but they are also hard to find and most for sale are to big species for aquarium.

I have already planted some big-growing swords and Acorus calamus (wich I like very much) but Id like to give...

    Emersed hybrid

    Yep, you said it! At first hand my target is find a "second hand" tank but plan B is order a new one. There are many nearly-suitable set ups for sale even right now, but unfortunately all of them are customized for salties and all that technique with overflows, sumps etc is needed to be teared...

    Emersed hybrid

    Hi all! This is my latest attempt with paludariums and emersed culture. Veggies moved three weks ago from 250l to this 600l wich was converted to be a paludarium. There is a mix of few emersed aquarium plants growing on and between bogwoods but also room plants. This is still under...

    Terrestrial plants for Planters

    Hi NanoJames! Here you can find many house plants that can be grown hydroponic-style (just roots in the water) Houseplant Hydroculture - Plant List . The problem is that many of them become easily weeds and their size but there are many usable small plants, too. Amphibian aquarium plants...

    Java Moss in dry start method

    I have never tried DSM (hopefully one day!?) but I have used Java moss as emersed with many ways. One of my tanks is open, the moss is just climbing up from the water by on its own under not-so-hot-leds. I dont mist it or anything. One tank is glaslid on it, there the moss grows emersed pretty...

    Mission impossible?

    Mission impossible? keeps going on. This emersed thing really hooked me on since Im an enthusiastic gardener too! Maybe this will help and inspire others, too, thou these tanks of ours are submersed-emersed -vivarium mixes Journal of five low-tech tanks | UK Aquatic Plant Society. Page 2. Im...

    Mission impossible?

    No doubt! A friend of mine has a huge bush growing submersed and emersed. I got mine from emersed part, settled them half water-half air as she had done at the begining. Now both parts are making really nice leaves

    Mission impossible?

    Could it be possible to grow something at the end of the bogwood, its pretty ugly? As you can see, there`s java moss growing submersed up to emersed, but oh so slowly! Iv been thinking to tide some moss on the wood and then plant something (but what?) in some way on it but all ideas are...
