emersed growth

[Ian Holdich]

I have a propagator with some riccia in it on my windowsill and must have chucked these in a month or so back, theres some hygro, anubias, ludwigia and crypts, along with the riccia. TBH honest i haven't really checked on them and forgot about them. I went to fill the propagator with water today and here's what i was presented with.

Cool, it is amazing how the plants can grow emersed!

What humidity is it kept at?

My ludwigia has shrivelled up on my windowsill.

Well done with the marsilea. I have some growing in a propagator and it is astonishingly slow. My ranunculus however has gone nuts.

What humidity is it kept at?

I haven't a clue, it's on a south facing windowsill, so gets the heat through the sun (when it decides to come out). It does have a cover over the top.

cheers HWF, it's dead interesting to grow plants like this IMO.
