Fantastic !
Are these all emersed growth ?
How do you do it ?

Thanks

Wow! I am amazed by the flowers...

How I wish my emersed plants will eventually flower! *Drools*...

[Xema]

Thanks for the comments!!!

All of these are from emergent growth, and I get it in my little greenhouse in my 'patio'. A water layer and some pots, really easy.

Justikanz,

When you are lighting with sunshine, flowering will become in a seasonal event.

When you are lighting with sunshine, flowering will become in a seasonal event.

May I ask why is that? If I light 10 hours daily will it still flower seasonally?

I'd like to know how you grow Anubias emersed too! Just like crypts?

[budak]

I think it's because in Europe, the longer days of spring and summer (up to 15-16 hours of daylight per day) trigger of flowering? While the shorter autumn/winter days suppress it?

[lorba]

budak, I believe that could be the main reason. Echinodorus for example, requires long light period to flower properly.

[Justikanz]

The lights (3 x 24W T5HO) are on for 10 or more hours in my 2ft vivarium... Do you think it is enough for the plants (I have bacopa sp., a variety of crypts, pennywort and Echinodoras tenellus) to eventually flower?

I've grown Echinodorus sp. & bacopa monnieri emmersed with out extra moisture
under full sun....both flowered continuously.

great looking flower, Xema. That rotala rotundifolia 'green' flower looks a lot like my nesaea crassicaulis flower.

I am not sure if it´s due to long day or at high increasing of the temperatures or maybe only with the different of the long day to the short day or a mix of them. The fact is the plants get flowered on spring and autumm.

I am not sure if the reason is the long days... or simply the changes to long day at short day and to short day at long day.

I have in my emersed crypts tank, a lighting period of 14 hours.

Yeah, both are into Lythraceae family.

thanks for the commets

Thanks,
My C. pontederiifolia, is emersed. It´s a rather large plant.



It´s flowering continously, every week has a flower, sometimes even has 2 flowers at the same time.
