    Journal In The Making

    I try and mist at least once daily. You may be able to go a day or 2 without misting if the unit is well sealed. HC does grow fast once it gets started. Welcome to the emersed club, at times I find it more fun than submerged although I want to flood my Iwagumi cube now.

    Propagator Help!

    A big storage container is on my wish list for au natural summer propagation in the back garden. I have a few emersed projects in an unheated garage doing fine. Heating is an extra setup and running cost that can be avoided.

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    I hear ya. Flooding or partially flooding for the trim should be a wise move. The 53b is established from the propagator, took it from there as it was hitting the lid.

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    Two and a half weeks since the last photo I looked at this cube tonight and thought, hmm it's grown a little so decided to snap it to compare. Mini Hairgrass and HC seem to be doing well, Staurogyne has started doing it's thing and the Lilleaopsis Brasiliensis has recovered from it's trim. Will...

    Re: Tribute to a Tributary. update Looking good. I've had a little yellowing of some HC from 1-2 grow pot so you suggest it's not rinsing the gel off enough? I was in the garage prepping and planting so washed in a container of water. Will have to follow instructions better next time.

    Re: Tribute to a Tributary, emersed experiment Looking good easer, I see the Staurogyne. :D I've got some hygrophila corymbosa siamensis (tropica 53b) that I've started emersed and the new emersed leaves have a good amount of reddy/brown to them. Not sure if they will stay like this but it...

    10'' cube

    Same here, mostly trimmings put to use. It sure is a cheap way to use a spare tank, even cheaper if it runs off natural light. How many hours light are you giving it? I started at 10 but dropped it to about 7 for now. It does get a little late afternoon sun for an hour or so too.

    Great. Hope it behaves for you. Can't wait to see a pic or three of your emersed project.

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Gave this a mid week haircut. Sent most out to a member. I've realised there must have been some snail eggs in the original trimmings as after the trimming I found a few snails and plenty of snail mess. All ferts right? :lol: Quick snap, hopefully in 6-8 weeks it will be full again...

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    I have been fighting for the last hour or so with 1-2 grow pots of Eleocharis mini, and HC. :lol: Jut a few tufts of HC in front of front rocks and Eleo mini foreground. Later on I may have to move some of the central staurogyne and grow more HC in between rocks. Also added a couple of more...

    10'' cube

    Awesome. Plant list? How long has it been running? Open or covered?

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    It's ambient, unheated and detached. Conservatory gets too warm and the garage is the only place I have space for it.

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    Oh I see. :lol: Totally missed it. Too much vodka. :shh: The orb to the right is full of guppies I can't give away. My brother has got the aquarium bug again and has secured a 2nd hand 4 foot tank. I'm sure I can palm him off some guppies then I can shut the orb down or just planted it up...

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    I need a reg to flood. When I get that I wanna save up for some dragon stone and Iwagumi my 60l. Need filter and luminaire too. The guppies in the orb are always at the surface waiting for food when I'm in the garage messing around. Will order mini HG and update once planted.

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    I can send you some if you would like to cover postage? They are not very long but ideal to start emersed.

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Should be good for humidity. A simple icecream tub is good enough. I can see my collection is going to start growing. I hate to throw trimmings away.

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Hmm, 1st big Stauro trim was April 9th, I think I started this about a week later. Say about 10 weeks. I got a couple of small brown patches on a couple of leaves. Not sure if it's lack of humidity, heat scorch of fert related but it's minor. It seems to have slowed down so I think a ferting...

    P&H 30cm cube emersed Iwagumi attempt.

    Or sort of. :lol: Been busy for the last few hours. I'm not one known for my rock and wood placement, so decided to try a little Iwagumi in a cube but keeping it as an emersed project. As I'm itching to plant a tank I decided an emersed one will be cheaper to setup up and keep running...

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Still going with this. I've left the lid off over the past 2 weeks, still give it a spray every day when passing. I was considering plating into my new project but will leave it going in here. Will trim it back soon. The other bit's I started have shown some signs of progression. A vesuvius...

    An order I forgot about.

    Thanks for reminding me why I use cheap mechanical timer units :)

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Yes just water droplets. No holes. If co2 is unlimited it should be fert related. I've not ferted them yet, just tank water from EI tank to start off and sprayed with tap water daily. Will be visiting a LFS which has some rock like mini landscape so will keep em peeled for some pieces.

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    South facing windowsill, or they just dried out? We've got a south facing conservatory but it was just way too hot. It killed of some emersed Bacopa last September. The kitchen stays cool and only has morning sun. I've never had the lid sealed on them, just resting on top. I think in a week or...

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Cheers, I find it behaves for me, :thumbup: Still thinking whether to do Iwagumi in 20 or 30cm cube. Mrs says 20 so I guess we'll leave it at that. :shh: Thanks. How did yours fail? You should try again, I'll send you some snippets when I next trim the tank. :thumbup: That or get some...

    I think they need high humidity, but doable. Give it a shot.. :thumbup:

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    Yes, sorry missed some info out. The lid was sitting loosely on top. Kitchen windowsill, (east facing), so it gets early morning direct sun till about midday. The more I look at it the more I want a cube half full of it. :D

    Emersed Staurogyne.

    As I had some small trimmings over from the brutal hacking, I decided to try growing this emersed. I put and inch or so of OK soil into an empty ice cream tub, dropped in trimmings, most are just resting on the substrate they are so short. 15-4-2012 Well I thought my parents who were tank...

    echinodorus

    I presume so. It would grow emersed leaves to cope with emersed conditions.

    Pint and a Pot

    Awesome ready for a little trim. I can imagine everyones little jars on kitchen and bathroom windowsills. I've got some Hydro sp Japan in a coffee jar with a sprig of Java Fern in the centre on the bathroom windowsill. :thumbup:
