my alpina grow in an open topped tank on one of my shelves.......i water them bout once a week, the water completely evaporates but the bottom is rarely dry


clone 1

U. alpina from seed from 'Pitter Moon'

alpina x endressi is there too but seems to like the dryer top half of the mix

Beautiful!

All my macro utrics grow down into the water, but just not to that extent. But almost.

I should check the bottom of my pot... I'm getting that sort of action from U. gramm...

Very interesting about alpina. Based on what is written about this group, I would not have thought this would work. Goes to show how adaptable they can be (at least sometimes). Do you still give them a drying-out period some time during the year?

Jim, Huge difference between U. graminifolia & U. alpina ...

these ones havent had a dry period for atleast 2 years.....the ones from 'Pitter Moon' have never been dry since i started them from seed....

My U. alpina isn't doing anything noteworthy.
