aquatics

1) Opening Bid of $20. 2) Up for auction is an assortment of plants that will remain a secret! Orchids, ferns, violets, utricularias, pinguiculas, emersed aquatics, who knows what will be in there! All growing in terrariums right now. Some I will be able to label, others are lost tags, some I...

So I don't have a lot, but i'm super proud of my plants. I talk to them and tell them they are doing good. They seem to like it. Here it is: Outdoor: I have four S. purpureas, a couple i lost the tags for, so at this point i call them all purpureas. I have a S. Red throat, a couple Luecophylla...

I have seen a few posts about Pygmy sundew gemmae lately, was wondering if anyone out there currently has any for trade or whatever. Mostly I have Aldrovanda and some other aquatics. Though I also have a bit of a sprawling noid orchid that I was told had orange flowers. Or Stapelia or...

Hi all, I'm looking to start a small African tank for Utricularia reflexa ( http://www.cpphotofinder.com/utricul...flexa-733.html ), a free floating African species. In the wild, this plant grows in shallow water among grasses, sedges and other emergent aquatics. My biggest question here is...

Today I was putting together a package for a member here and decided to do a second one for a giveaway. Here's your water garden in one bag. Here's what you will get: 1. sprig Japanese Aldrovanda 2. two Cyperus plants, one a rooted plant the other a cutting...

Last year I took a trip to the northern portion of Michigan and the southern portion of Upper Peninsula. On the trip I encountered various carnivorous plants and orchids. Emmet County (Day 1): The first site was quite unique compared to similar sites I have been to. All of these plants...

A couple of my smaller ponds (less than 100L) are going basic, normally their PH is between 6.4-6.8, but in the past 2weeks a few are 7.2-7.6 and 1 got to 8.2. To counter it I use spag, I throw a handful in and for a couple days the PH drops to 6.6-7.0, Most of them have CO2 generators and a...

If there is any interest, I thought it would be nice to start a thread for discussing aquatic Utricularia, where we can share our setups, pictures of our plants, etc. I will freely admit that this idea came from RL7836's Orchidioides thread, but there shouldn't be much overlap with that thread...

Saw a couple requests for aquatics so I'm going to offer what I can spare. Hopefully it will generate some last minute interest. Shipping will be $5, roughly a small flat rate box, if I need to use a larger box I will pay the difference for shipping. Paypal only, CONUS only. Quantities are a bit...

Thanks to the sage guidance of and pleasant trading with Paul on this forum, I think I can call my two new water features a success. They are around five and seven gallons respectively, and contain an assortment of goodies. The notable plants applicale to this forum are the U. gibba and...

Hey folks I'm developing a plan for a semi aquatic tank and I'm curious if there is a floating Utric species (preferably larger traps) or form of Aldrovanda that can live in a tropical vivarium year round and not need cool temps to form turions & go dormant?

Here's a few update pics Overhead shot One of the ponds made with a large reptile dish. Not sure why but I have to fill them from 1/2 to full everyday, could the emergent aquatics actually transpire that much water everyday? They're 1" thick faux stone dishes made of plastic resin so they...

I am trying to get some cap seeds. (I would rather have red form, but it really doesn't matter) I do not have any CPs to trade, but some nice aquatics I do: Small lemon button fern. grows fairly quick, and once large enogh will spread spores. (that's wear the ones I'm trading come from) Creeping...

I am sure some of you have seen the "tropica" style aquatic plants sold in the clear tubes with the water gel crystals. These are aquarium plants growing in very humid mini terrarium conditions and I have been hardening mine off for use in vivariums where they are growing out of water but with...

Hi, I'm looking for Utricularia's not on my growlist, however I'm not interested in the suspeneded aquatics. I took a quick look around and these are the ones I have potted up and growing, some are smaller than others but they should all ship just fine. Feel free to ask about other stuff on...

Well I finally got a small 10 g allon tank setup :-O Most of the thanks goes to a member that I traded for the aquatics, He'll post if he wants the credit or not :jester: There are 3 guppies for now gonna get a few other fish and some cherry shrimp. I shot it today :D The camera is a very...

Riiight. So I have a plastic tray, probably 1 and a half feet wide, 4 inches or so deep with peat at the bottom and so the water is quite tea colored. There is a big gap of room where I have nothing to put there (2 inches tall, 5 inches wide) and space in between the pots. I think an easy...

Here's a fun little story for ya'll... Got some Aldrovanda and aquatic Bladderworts from a very reputable grower in Va. recently and I set up two glass cookie jars with distilled water and dumped in some wet peat, waited for it to settle, then poured on some sand, waited for that to settle...

I have a cat box that I filled with water and emptied a bag of the dried LFS in it. Then I placed my U. macrorhyza in it. From what I read, the aquatics need solid material to latch onto. So now I have an outdoor mini-swamp. I'm also hoping the dried LFS will come alive before the snow flies...

for those who use daphnia with your aquatics, how do you stop them all from getting killed? Ive only had them for a couple days, and now there arent as many left.
