    I am going to get some fertilisers to put into my pot. See how that goes with the emersed plants.

    For the stalks that you trimmed off, just remove few leaves at the bottoms and replant it in substrate. Roots will come out from the place that leaves were removed.

    I have transferred the plants to several cups/pots. All seems doing well. Going to have a Rotala Bonsai Farm. Haha!

    Thanks man.

    I have tried to plant Eleocharis acicularis 'mini', too but that was quite slow runner in emersed form. However, Echinodorus tennelus green seems adapt quite well with emersed form while it changes the leave shape and even got flowers, too. Below is a photo of its flowers:

    Great! Can share the progress here bro! Anyway, I think it is more like "propagation" than "tissue culture".

    Plant update. Today's pic:


    All plants are growing nicely. Interestingly the hygrophilia sunset lost its distinctive pink coloration and white veins.

    I also bought some no brand plant fertilizers from the nursery.

    Am planning to move each species to different pots soon with the ferts and see how it grows.

    Re: Growing plants emersed

    Very well done, Zep! Looks like a Dutch Garden to be now.

    I am planning to clear the pot and jars that I used for the emersed plants and shift to normal pot due to possible mosquito breeding issue right now.

    I have tried Jackie's Mosquito Granular last time and it made the plants die fast! So I just put water below Substrate surface just enough for plants everytime. Since it has been developed well "on land", I will put in in the pot with normal garden soil soon.

    Re: Growing plants emersed

    Normal pots with garden soil or potting soil works just as well. And no water ponding or mosquito breeding.

    Saw the staurogyne repens starting to flower this morning

    It will. Once the roots are established they grow fast.

    For new plants start to plant emersed, you should cover some Clingwrap to make sure the leaves is moist at all time for at least one-two weeks until the roots developed. Otherwise, they will be goner.
