I'm interested to see the different type of plants every one around the world are growing the emerse way. Please post a pic and some details about your set up. As of right now I'm growing HC emersed for a 6 foot, its taking a bit longer to grow submerge for some reason.
Here is my emersed grow out setup. Its just a seed tray and top with sand and dirt mixed in. its got a couple of CFL over it ans a T-12 tube. Sorry dont want to get under tank to get at bulbs. I left out the boring plants photos. Went with my favs, well whats left of them after some selling off. Ranunculus Under tank shot lights come on at night when the tank lights turn off Full shot crypt. Tropica Ranunculus And the mystery moss that I am calling nano "moos". I have no idea if its aquatic or not? I will be trying to get it to grow on stainless steel so i can throw it in a tank and see how it does. other wise its imposible to attach or plant it as its way way to small.
emersed Here are my emersed grown plants. First I did not have a place for them in the tank anymore, so I plant them in soil, put them on a window and voila. Echinodorus ozelot green and Anubius barteri Echinodorus parviflorus tropica ozelot again Cryptocoryne wendtii green Anubias barteri
my emersed setup started as an experiment, i got some plants from over seas that where mush on arrival. So i thought i would try and save then but i wasn't going to put them in one of my tanks soooooo...... Next im doing one like Vojs or Mellonmans, How did you set that up Mellonman?
Here's a link to APC where I posted my first setup. My first emersed setup (56k W) - Plant Physiology & Emersed Culture - Aquatic Plant Central Regards
It's just a small bowl filled with nutritive substrate (with an upper layer of sand) in a bigger bowl filled with water. Water level is high enough to keep substrate wet. All plants were taken from a paludarium so they already had their emersed leaves. In the beginning, I changed the water almost daily... then I neglected this setup a little bit and cyanobacteria came and spoilt it... My fault...
I only grow emersed crypts. I have 2 kind of set up, one for black water and peat swamp plants and other for neutral and Sri-Lanka type. Some of my plants.
And some of my emersed plants: No 1: Cryptocoryne becketti,Echinodorus tenellus,Anubia coffefolia,Glossostigma elatinoides and Mikrosorum pteropus. No 2: Hygrophila "siamensis" No 3 Hygrophila difformis No 4: Hygrophila rosanervig
some species struggle with the transition from sub to emersed. preparing my first wabikusa right now, will be my second attempt on growing aquatic plants emersed
Thank you, lalmeida Juri, I found it near my house door, I gues, that it is something from pylaisia sp. I use them for my bonsai trees as well It is hard to indentify this native moss, becouse in Lithuania there is more than 350 species of leafy mosses, some of them can grow in aquarium very well. <)

Not sure about the rock work, but the plants look great, I just created a new tank with the same plants
