Hi thats interesting. Can you show us how you do it? Maintenance requirement?
Hi,
This is actually I wanted to achieve , but only resulted as failure with so many attempts . I even got the HC with same mud/soil from Teo to grow, still no luck.
Cheers
Wow!! Nice. That'll make a really nice deco.
I didnt capture photo when I setup it. Try to explain with my broken english.
Prepare emersed HC, pot, soil, rock
1. Get a stone to cover the hole at the pot, try to cover as much as possible. So that the pot will keep more water, and soil will be wet
2. Put soil to the pot, and position those rock as you like.
3. Place the HC to the soil. Last, watering the bonzai...
4. Wait the HC fully grow
Maintenance : watering it every morning...
You can make it, try 1 more time. Please make sure the soil is wet.
Thanks

Hi KC, thanks for your instructions. Just want to ask a few more questions:
a) How long do you need to sun the HC? Direct sunlight or shade?
b) Need to shelter from breeze? I had problem growing emersed cryptcoryne in the past because of the wind. The leaves often get dried up and the plant just could not survived.
c) Do you water the soil till it gets saturated or merely moist the soil?
d) What kind of garden soil are you using? Organic soil? Burnt earth?
I just loved this plant, I´m going to buy then fixed in tree fern.
wks: I think the soil can be very wet cause this plants are used sumbmersed in planted aquariuns.
Greatings,

I keep them under roof, but, still have direct sunlight for 3 hours+-
I didnt cover it with anything, I just leave the pot explore to airb) Need to shelter from breeze? I had problem growing emersed cryptcoryne in the past because of the wind. The leaves often get dried up and the plant just could not survived.

So cute. I want one.
This is really beautiful.. Btw does the pot retains all the water? or does it have holes at the bottom like any other planting pots?

Hi CaseyHoo,
I have a small glass container without any holes at the bottom. I was thinking of doing something like this. Do you think it is possible to do this with a glass container or glass tank without any holes at the bottom? This means the water will be retained in the soil.

Hi,
Yes, sure, you can keep yours HC in any container, no hole pot, tau fu fa mug, or normal pot that have hole also can.
Most important is, make sure the soil is wet.

Did you buy those HC that are packed and grown on soil which are slapped onto a piece of ceramic that can be found easily in c328?
