The biggest problem you will have is fungal growth. You can periodically flood and drain to halt it. Extremely easy to keep this way. Don't require additional light other than ambient room light and i misted every 6-8 weeks. They don't enjoy constantly wet leaves when emersed. Soil can be damp...

Can we get a crypt list? :)

Weeping moss - no Flame moss -yes Mini pellia (not a moss but popular) - yes

Mine are growing the same as they would submerged. Maybe 1 leaf per 2 weeks or so!

Yeh humidity. Grows well emersed planted into moss or aquasoil (even play sand). I don't mist them at all now and they grow nice coloured leaves contrary to popular belief. I'm going try letting some grow out of the water on their own in a tank and see if they adapt better

Dead kinda crispy :( Plenty emersed at higher humidity doing great though :)

Hair grass is native to the UK so humidity and temp won't be an issue

It's crispy :P

I wouldn't Bury the rhizome but it does root well into substrate :)

Dean that's correct. Even of they are available to collect they are left in favour of the emergent plants as they are easier to ship :)

They definitely look nicer grown submerged. It's not practical for me to collect them and keep them all submerged though :( Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Not a clue. Would make it easier to collect if they can be kept like this. My seller seems to think it will work :) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Just a little experiment to see how emersed bucephalandra 'ghost' will do uncovered at room humidity. Roots and rhizome are in moss as it will wick the water nicely if I forget to top it up for a day or two. I already know they do well with no heating, I've had them down to 12'c with no issues...

The 'pellia' we have in our tanks isnt actually a pellia species. Pellia epiphyla (spelling?) is a true pellia that can be found submerged in nature :)

F. Fontanus doesnt need to be kept humid to grow. For anyone not aware it is a native moss of the UK (along with 7-8 other fissidens sp.) so it will survive and grow as long as you keep it damp or grow it on something damp. You can also let it dry out 100% and re-animate it and it will act like...

C. papyrus looks like a great plant. Any way of stopping it growing 4-5m tall though? :D

Sorry, i meant hm filter. Hamberg mattenfilter. Basically a big sheet of foam, and a pump behind it.

Just setting up my paladaruim (spelling) :) Using a hm filter that runs 3/4 of the way up the tank, sunk into this will be a finer sponge and that will be topped of witha clay substrate (cat litter). I want to grow some hc, pellia and a nice big sword on the filter, not sure what to have as a...

Dilute it a lot, then use a spray bottle to dose it ;) So, a tanks dosage worth in a spray bottlee, then mix with about half a sprayer full of water. It can melt mosses if used at to high of a concentration.

Ive had very nice slow growth when kept on very slightly damp sand and filter mulm covered over permanently for a long period. Ive had faster but not so lush growth when ive grown it in a couple of milimeters of water on sand dosed with tomato ferts.

That is THE worst creation ive ever seen.

Its growing well :) But ive observer hc growing submerged with no c02 o.O part of the tank has become flooded due to constant spraying (more like 3 times a day instead of a few a week :roll: ) Ive also got pellia and round pellia growing emersed ;)

I thought id have a crack at making an emersed scape..... it will be permanently without water (apart from the damp substrate) so it should be fun and a bit different :) It will be of the iwagumi style ........ not much to say about it yet.... currently cleaning the tank (18x12x16 clearseal...

Misting is 100% un-necisary ime...... As is the extra dosing :lol: i just dump syring full of all in one fert every month or so into my hc set-up ;)

I grow hc on my windowsill ;) never mist it and just leave the lid off for an hour or 2 every few days :)

i would remove it if possiable, although most algae eaters will eat it.

dwarf hairgrass does well to but seems to grow slower this way than submerged for me

I also have a propogator that im going to use once the jar fills up :D mosses also do well like this ;)

My method for propogating hc is to use a small clear container with potting soil and keep the soil damp but not wet as such. Open the lid every now and then to let air in and be patient. not a very high tech aproach but my portion has doubled in size in about 2 weeks so it cant eb that bad :)...
