is the Drosera spatulata doing well ?
The orchid, Dendrobium gregulus, in full bloom!

Occasionally, I would have some trimmings to give away in exchange for a can of Milk Coffee. PM me to deal.
Yup! Dew formation is good but i suspect it is not having enough light to turn red lol. The growth rate is amazing though, if only other plants can grow as fast haha

Yup those kind, i just aim the tip of the flame on the acrylic and heat evenly to prevent bubbling and hot spots.

Wow. You must have damn good control.
I am looking to buy one of those as well. More for cooking actually but I am not sure where I can find more affordable ones.

You can find cheap ones on ebay! Or those bakery shops too which usually sell larger ones.

About time for an update!
Day zero was around 3 months ago and this is the growth report:
Thick HC growth even without fertilizer supplementation.
Emersed mini fissiden and Star moss. The flame moss dried up partially unfortunately hahah.
And here's a close up of the setup!

Anyone knows the exact species of this Hydrocotyle just by looking at the picture?

Looks great!
Just curious, with the low-profile container design, how do you mist the plants regularly so that the water droplets don't end up on the table, walls or furniture, and how about bugs visiting the plants? I keep emersed cultures outdoors and do mist them regularly too, but i don't worry much about over-spray which lands on the outdoor flooring and decking (they are weather resistant anyways) and all the bugs are kept outside.
The risk of indoor furniture/wall paint deteriorating over time due to excess moisture and bugs crawling about are some of the things holding me back from having an emersed setup indoors so far. Would be keen to run such a setup though.
I bought it from seaview and there it only stated hydrocotyle sp. Can you identify the species?

I only water it directly on the soil using those squirt bottles from daiso, no misting required since water for the moss is fed by the drip system so my desk is nice and dry haha. I do get occasional visits of bugs but they are mostly those random fruit flies which would sometimes end up becoming food for the sundew. Other than that, no major bug issue so far. A jumping spider got caught once by the sundew though but that is pretty much it haha.Looks great!

Hi Danialavr, just a guess, I think it could be Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides.
That air pump powered drip system is interesting, i'll try it out too. Thanks!
Plants that trap insects are also on the to-get list.
Wow! Thank you gorilla83! i think it could be this species!

It is a very low powered drip system at only 3 watts hahah but i have upgraded it to using TOM aqua lifter since it can be noisy sometimes when the water level is too low and it starts pumping more air than water.That air pump powered drip system is interesting, i'll try it out too. Thanks!

Please go for it! Emersed setups are way too easy to pass.

Great work bro.
Could you please share more info and pics on how you use an air pump for the drip system?
Hi, i try to explain the concept to the best of my knowledge. There is 2 inlets, one for air from the air pump (labeled in red) and the other for the water from the tank itself (labeled in blue).
When air reaches the Y connector, it has two ways to go which is either towards the outlet with the green arrow or towards the water inlet but in this case, it would choose the path with the least resistance which is towards the green arrow due to the higher pressure exerted by the water level with reference to the water inlet (blue) as compared to almost no resistance if the air is to flow towards the outlet marked with the green arrow. So this is the concept of using air to push water up the tube.
To start the drip system, all the tubes and connector have to be filled with water. As the air pushes out via the outlet marked with the green arrow, it also pushes water up the tube and this creates a very minute suction at the water inlet.
It is relatively the same concept as those air bubble filters powered with an air pump.
I hope my explanation helps
