pond

Hello TF'ers A few days ago I got a Blue Mystery Snail for my U. Gibba tank. It's pretty big, about 1 1/2" shell. The problem is, I have a "colony" of brown pond snails in the same tank and I'm not sure if they will get along. I have seen the pond snails on the blue mystery snail's shell and...

It took about four hours for me to get there , but I will go again if I'm invited. He took down my e-mail so HOPE HOPE . John is a very nice guy. On his tour, if any questions got asked, they got answered, it took about 2 hours, which for me went too fast , even though he said it would take...

Finished cleaning a much overgrown pond last weekend and have some spare rhizomes from the water lilies. These are hardy water lilies (at least to zone 5) and may be either white, yellow or pink flowered...they've spread between pots over time so I don't really know what color the divisions are...

I want to try a bare root / fridge dormancy with some of my temperates, like the sundews and was thinking about using sulfur, which the Brits are fond of espousing. What products do we have on this side of the Pond? I've checked Lowes & Home Depot and am not sure if what they have is safe for...

As we all know mosses and other invaders take over a utric pot pretty fast and I have been wondering if anyone has ever grown any utrics purely in Shultz APS (Aquatic Plant Soil) or similar non organic material? I recently bought an expensive version of APS by Pond Care/Aquarium...

hey everybody :) i just found this thing while cleaning yesterday as you can see its just an empty snowglobe. i have a really cool idea in my head to try and make a self sustaining enclosed ecosystem by adding some kind of substrate, plants and maybe some snails or, if i can get some at...

JC Muñoz and I recently travelled to a few locales in these two counties. Indian River County There were also a few Utricularia species at this site. S. minor grows here as well, but the hike to find them was too long. You can see the difference in the two D. capillaris forms. The...

Hey Guys, I haven't logged on here in a couple weeks due to vacation and all. I have a 10G paludarium that is divided (siliconed so no water can get from the land side to the water side). On the land side, I had some sundews and VFTs. They weren't growing too well because they were just moved...

Over my past few years active on this board I have seen very little information on growing N. Northiana. While an incredibly beautiful, well-known species, it seems very few people, especially in the US cultivate this plant. If they do, I can't find them anywhere. :-D Last week I finally felt...

These pictures show my RO unit and what I did to capture all the "waste" water. We use it to water our regular plants. 5 gallons of RO water produce almost 30 gallons of "waste" so the catch is significant. It is work, but I'm saving resources! Just think. With the stock RO system: if you used...

Three different forms of Aldrovanda - they are relatively new to me and I am trying different ways to keep them growing nicely U. striata - should be grown as an affixed sub-aquatic but is currently just floating in water Seriously, I never thought Utrics can be interestingly until I...

Hey TF'ers I wanted to share some pics of my new growth chamber. The goal was to use some junk material to make a new plant box for the CP's (succulents currently residing). It's amazing what you can do with old scrap. I started with some metal shelving units found in the parking lot at my...

Thought I would post this good deal! Garden Factory, on Buffalo Road in Gates (west side of the city) has some decent Sarracenia marked down to $2 each! a few are in rough shape, but some are still nice.. they only have three varieties, and only about 10-15 plants total.. leucophylla "tarnoc"...

I don't know if h/l (1-2k masl) N.ampullaria has made it over the pond yet, but if there are any in the U.S. that you know of or you have one, I will trade generously for one.

Hello everyone, I thought I'd make a video of my pond. So I did. :P And here it is on June 20th, 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnzKTKCeqPQ it actually grew a lot more already.

I couldn't find Schultz' APS but a nursery that specializes in pond stuff was recommended by a several people. They didn't have Schultz' APS. either, but had this brand: I repotted many of my pings into this and when the pots hit the water there was this fizzing noise and I could see "smoke"...

These are really starting to overthrow my terrarium pond. I would like to give away a hand full of Salvinia natans. It is a small easy to grow aquatic plant that floats around on water. Give them about a week to adapt, and I'm serious, they will multiply! I've never shipped live things, but its...

I picked up a pond liner at a yard sale and hope to start this weekend. I was wondering what soil mixes folks use in their bogs. I will likely use sand and wondered if there is a particular source that people prefer. I will try to take a pic and see if anybody has any ideas.

heres my new above ground pond i just did. last year it was basically a fetid pool full of peat/mud sludge and hornworts and utricularia macrorhiza. my goldfish just died so i took apart his tank and put it all together outside. the plants are anubias, saggitaria subulata, hornworts and some...
