Hello members
Longtime since the last up date !
I went yesterday to the pond and all the plants are growing madly ! In particular the ludwigia arcuata and HM.
I went there because we have received a lot of plants. Unfortunately I have finish to plant it at the end of the day light was not good so the pic were not good ! But here is some pic before planting you will see how it s becoming a mess.
I will go there on Wednesday so I will take better pic.

Man I wish I had a emersed garden like this where I can harvest whatever plants I need when I rescape!

 

[Steve Smith]

That's a good point! You have a lot of HC growing, why buy more?

Hi guys
Flygja that is why we are growing all these plants in the pond like that when we rescape we just harvest the plants from there. Since Sunday we have now 24 different species. From HC to hygro polysperma sunset. Hehe
So if we want to rescape we just harvest.
Thanks for following.

Steve we have buy more HC because my friend have a 900 L tank and he wanted a carpet of HC the sooner possible haha.
The pot that you can see in this journal is all ready in the water. But he didn't listen to my advices and they all die. I was a bit upset because I wanted half in my tank. But that's ok it already growing again in the pot.

I will go there tomorrow morning to see if what I have done on Sunday is ok !!!
So I will take pic and make a nice update.
Since I am on UKAPS I wish I have a nice camera like a canon D5 with a good lens hahaha.

Cheers guys and thanks for following.

When I received the hygro sunset it was all green like the normal polysperma but now the new leaves that are growing under Congolese light are growing pink .

Eusteralis stellata

I have to say that it growing better in my thank than emerge.

Rotala macrandra. It have a hard start but I think it will be ok. Maybe I should move it to a shady area ?

Hygrophilia poly. Normal

Hello just a quick update

I had to trim the P stelatta because it was becoming to big

Sorry for the quality of the pic but it was tricky to shot this plant on the other side of the pond

Hygrophilia poly sunset and Rotala indica

Everything is going well. Now we are entering in the dry season, so cloudy days with no sun and no rain for 4,5 month ! We will see
