Thanks to a couple of really cool TF members I've got a nice little collection of orchidioides and other Utrics going in some 4" net pots and I was curious if anyone fertilizes theirs and notices whether it seems to make a difference or not.
I've had them for some months now and I still don't have many leaves but most of the net pots now have "roots" and traps coming out all the slots on the side and at the bottom of the pots growing into the moist live moss layer the pots sit on but each only has one or a few leaves at a time coming out the top of their pots. I'd like to get more leafy greens out of them if possible and hopefully some flowers some day. Currently they are potted in live moss and living in a 10 gallon tank with the tops of the pots about 6-8" under the T5 HO.
