[Aroid-l] Growing Aroids in Planted Ripariums

From: dbiggs at xantusidesign.net on 2009.11.10 at 17:35:03(20256) Hi All, I have been away form the list for a while, but I have a couple of new pictures worthwhile for this thread. My Cryptocoryne themed riparium setup has been doing well. It got to be rather overgrown, but last night I removed/trimmed the largest plants. The light is now better able to penetrate down through to the water. http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/5-xi-09-cryptocoryne-wendtii-ii-b.jpg The plants look rather disheveled in this picture, but their looks will improve as they settle in and re-grow a little bit more. One of my favorite plants in this setup is the large Cryprotocoryne wendtii to the right of center. I pulled that specimen out for a studio shot. +More http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/9-xi-09-tank-i-b.jpg I am unsure of the variety for this plant, but I think that it might be wendtii 'Bronze' or 'Mi Oya'. I also had a beautiful Anubias hastifolia, but I removed it to a larger tank because it had outgrown this space. I got this picture while making the transfer. http://hydrophytesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4-xi-09-anubias-hastifolia-i-b.jpg I hope to come back in a week or so with a better picture of the whole tank.
