My emmersed plants

Here are some aquatic plants I have grown emmersed over the past few months. Most of them are Cryptocoryne. Apologies for the poor photography

Here's the full tank

Here are some close ups. I am hoping for flowers anyday now as its getting colder.

Here's the African violet I cloned, ready for planting and 'hardening off'.

An Echinodorus species but not sure which one!

Thanks for looking.

They looked gorgeous!
Wish I can do the same, mine always dry up or remain small.

Looks good. You are using rock wool? Is that C. ciliata in the third picture?

I have got C.undulata 'red', C. wendtii 'Mi Oya', C. wendtii 'Tropica' and C.parva in garden soil. Totally dry. Wonder how long it takes for them to flower.

Thanks for your kind words guys

Most of them are different varieties of the Wendtii family, the one in the 3rd pic is a C. Pontederiifolia. The Wendti's flowered for me at spring time, I had them inside for the cool months and as soon as it started warming up again I put them back outside and they all bloomed. The flowers were very small though, as the plants were still young. I'm hoping to get nicer flowers next spring.

They are grown in a clay and river sand mix topped with java Moss.
