Marselia looks like it's reaching. Maybe it can't tell fog from immersed.

Hey Squawkbert.. Do you think it's a good idea to put the Marsilea pot in another container without fog but humid enough ?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't worry about that... the fog is fine..

maybe the marsilea isn't getting enough light.. The more light the plant gets, the lower to the ground it grows.

How much direct sun does you tank get? Mine gets 3-4 hours of direct sun.. I think that's a good amount.

Maybe just a couple of hours of direct sun, so it's almost only indirect sunlight. It's located in the outer wall of a storage room in the little backyard, no blocking light trees there. I've got some more marsilea and hydrocotyle, I will put them along with some E. Parvula (one pot each) and try a different location in the same backyard and see how they turn out.

Thanks for the input mistergreen.

you might have seen this in another forum.

when the plants are acclimated, they can be grown out in the open with plenty of sun.

Yes I remember Ikuzo's post, that farm in Indonesia is amazing, even more stunning because the owner only uses garden soil and sand as a substrate. Maybe I will make some changes in the storage room, it has a polyacrilic roof so it may be worth trying some pots there. Some time ago I tossed some java moss and an anubia nana in a 2 gal cube (submersed) in one month they grew a little and there were no algae, so I can put some containers in there for a try.
