The Large Anubias Barteri attached to wood has two flowers emerging




A. Coffeefolia's newest leaf is out


A. Afzelli new leaf


Started a little experiment with some C. Wendtii 'Brown' I'm growing it in the poly-fil from the first basket in my SUNSUN 302 canister. Seems to be liking it so far :P


And a non-aquatic plant. My wild collected Ailanthus Altissima aka Tree Of Heaven. It is invasive so I will be keeping it in a pot. There is actually two trees in it. Should I remove the smaller one so it doesnt get choked out by the the larger one?



Thats it for now

Nice setup you got there. Everything looks nice and healthy. Do you leave the cover off all the time and what type of lighting are you using?

I would take out the smaller tree of heaven if you want it to thrive.

WeedCali

Its always covered and right now I have a 24W T5HO strip with a good reflector and a 13W 2700k CFL. Trying to see if adding that 2700k light will help induce flowering.

More pics to come soon. The unknown Crpyts from 954baby in the paludarium and the emersed tub are throwing out spathes. guess its their time lol. The big A. Barteri on the wood has two flowers emerging too.

Got updated pics as of 4-29-12

A. Afzelii


A. Barteri



The newest leaf is huge! I dont have small hands either


A. Coffeefolia


A. hastifolia


A. Lanceolata


C. Beckettii


C. Moehlmannii


C. Nurii


C. Parva


C. Pontederiifolia #1 this is the mother plant from the round clear pot it was in before


C. Pontederiifolia #2 this was the second largest daughter in the pot so I decided I would pot it and keep it with the other one. surprisingly it sent out a runner before the mother did


C. Usteriana


C. Unknown from 954baby with spathe emerging



C. Wendtii 'Green'


C. Wendtii 'Brown' or bronze. I have it labeled bronze though


C. Wendtii 'Red'


C. Wendtii 'Green Gecko'


C. Wendtii 'Brown' or Bronze. this little one had some crazy growth earlier. its sending out runners at the crown and close to the crown which is unlike any Wendtii i've ever grown. They usually hit the side of the pot then come up. this one has a spathe emerging too



Thats all the pictures I have for now

Thanks for looking

Potted two rhizomes of C. Cordata 'Blassii'

I had them in a pot with just kitty litter so they would sprout leaves and roots.

Tree of heaven = the devil...Wait till It grows and throws out some seeds.. I had one of them in a pot in my back yard..now I have two acres of "tree of heaven jungle"...you cant kill it, rip it out of the ground and every piece of root that is left becomes a new tree. And the best part is half of them "die" each year so you have a bunch of junk brush laying around...they die..but 50 new ones take their place (all the roots resprout). In case you could not tell I hate that weed...so very much

WeedCali

I know how invasive they are but I do think theyre beautiful trees. I will definitely be removing any seeds it produces. I have a few that I'm starting from seed ATM too :P

Got tons of flowers coming in! It must be Crypt flowering season :P

All pictures were taken 5-13-12

A. Barteri has both flowers open


C. Unknown in the paludarium. still small but its developing


C. Wendtii 'Green Gecko' this is the first time this plant has flowered for me!



C. Unknown in the tub has three spathes emerging!


The C. Pontederiifolia mother I repotted 3-2-12 has one too


and a new leaf on the A. Coffeefolia. It's growth rate is beginning to increase so I think its becoming more established now.


And the overgrown right side of the paludarium


Thats all for now

Just checked on the tub as the lights turned on and the C. Pontederiifolia flower has opened
