[Aroid-l] Species suited to a water wall

From: Paul Temple <paulindr at gmail.com> on 2009.04.21 at 03:54:25(19259) Hi. A friend advised that this list sometimes discusses water walls and the species that suit them. Ihave a new water wall. It's about 5 feet high and about 20 feet long. Rocks are already turning green after just a week of water includingseveral dry spells (to fix leaks!). I live at 1400 metres above sealevel in the Dominican Republic so day temperatures can be as high as32C (often cooler) and nights drop to as low as 6C. The wall isexposed to strong sunlight for several hours a day. The water isneutral and direct from a river. The rocks are probably neutral (butmay tend towards alkaline - I must test this). If anyone can suggest specific plant species or varieties (not necessarily aroids) thatwould be either interesting or attractive, I'd be grateful. I'mrelatively knowledgeable about carnivorous plants and not new tospecialist gardening, so I'm looking for something a little morehelpful than generalities (so for example, being told that "ferns" aregood would be no real help). Thanks for any suggestions, especially if replies are copied directly to me.
