Water Rooted Cephalotus in Hydroculture.

Having water rooted a Cephalotus leaf, I placed it in a wood pulp product. I'm not sure that this can be strictly considered as hydroculture, but it's certainly not a traditional growing medium :grin:

very cool , nice work .
where do you get wood pulp.
 
Very nice mobile. Is the wood pulp stable enough for long term growth. I love your curiousity for test soils. Well done.
 
The wood pulp is a waste product from the paper manufacturing industry and there is a company in the UK who package it for use as horse bedding. It is also popular with other pet owners, such as rabbit keepers. There is a brand of small pet bedding sold in the USA which is very similar, though I have never used it.

Thank you for you kind comment, but I don't think the photo is worthy. It was a quick snap and I didn't manually adjust aperture, so the depth of filed is poor.
 
'Nice work. How long has this plant been in this medium overall?

I don't recall exactly, but approximately 8-10 weeks. It was just a leaf with roots when I put it in there.
