Don't get me wrong - my addition of co2 to the emersed setup is totally unecessary and all of the moss was growing without it in a more or less clingiflm sealed environment as you describe here. It may have some value in more rapidly propagating the smaller and much slower growing species though...
Very true. I grow various orchids and bromeliads in a large vivarium also and I've seen first hand the benefits of additional passive ventilation in terms of minimizing mold just from installing a low wattage solar raptor heat strip beneath the door vent.
I have seen a lot of people growaing...
Correct. None of my moss is in direct contact with the water anyway but rather the ultrasonic fogger creates a layer of dense fog every four hours that keeps it fairly saturated and distributes nutrients that I do add directly to the water as in some aeroponic growing systems for more...
If anyone prefers instead to debate global warming then obviously it goes without saying that things have changed since 2014 and the starting point for that conversation necessarily must be that Trump proved that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by satanic paedos and that he's still in...
I noticed that there is a very old thread from 2014 which raised this issue and the concensus seemed to be that it made no difference and/or wasn't worth the effort as the 400ppm of atmospheric co2 is more than adequate for emersed growth. That thread quickly devolved into a debate about global...
That fissidens will for sure recover in no time at all now it's under water. It's extremely hardy but there is a bit of a misunderstanding about F. fontanus - it's a true aquatic and does not grow emersed anywhere other than constant splash zones from waterfalls where it's wet enough that it's...
There are at least two, and probably more, species of native Fissidens other than fontanus that can grow submerged. Fissidens rivularis and Fissidens crassipes.
F. fontanus is a true aquatic, it will only grow emersed if it's kept saturated. The only places you can find it above the waterline is in rocky streams and rivers where it grows in the splash zone or very near to the edge of still water where enough moisture is wicked to it. but you won't find...
I actually overlooked the fact that you had used rhizotonic in your dry start. One of the active ingredients, cytokinins, does certainly have positive effects on moss growth.
zozo that's impressively quick for it to spread laterally as it has. I think it would take a little longer for me, how much light does that patch recieve?
Something I keep puzzling over, if anyone has any ideas, is whether there might be a submerged analogue of the blended paste method of...
I don't think dry start is ideal for fissidens fontanus. It takes quite a while adapting to emersed growth and then again once you submerge and it has to re-adapt again to those conditions. From my own experience you also risk mold and the growth rate for F. fontanus seems to be slightly better...
