Plant to grow in open HOB filter

[nayr88]

Hello people

I'm looking for a plant that people have had success growing in a hob or could recommend one that may do well.

Cheers guy

Virtually any pot plant but, spider plant & peace lily are classics.
If you mean a plant that we keep underwater then that is not so easy - possible, but it will need lots of attention as the dry atmosphere from you lights will just wilt the leaves .. you need to mist very regularly at first & then you need lots of trial & error to find which plant will survive.

Mate that would be cracking! Let me know the dealio via PM

Do you think it's possible to have a bowl of water with mosses in then a plastic cylinder in the middle with filter media in and a peace Lilly planted into it?

The cylinder could be made with holes to allow water in.... Maybe wrapped in moss to make it look better...

That sound similar to how biorbs work I think, just with a wider diamiter uplift tube to put the peach lily in.
