Hi Everyone,
Downoi plant...I have seen it in Eco-culture display tank a few days ago....very unique plant....some said it is a new found species only in Thailand...
Does anyone has more infor on this plant? web site, Scientific name, planting condition etc....
Help is appreciated.
Resistance is futile, you will be administrated!
It's not really rare, just too expensive. Few if anyone is willing to import the plant for retail at the moment. Wait a few months, someone might have propagated enough to sell at a better price.
As far as I know at the moment, its a slow plant and very little literature about the plant on the web.

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.

Yeah... have to wait a few more months. I find that the plant needs quite a fair bit of light and cooler waters. (max 27) else it will slowly but surely melt away. Another high K plant!!----------------

Wait??...hmm..Interesting...May I know who is currently propagating them? a farm?
Does anyone has a clear picture of Downoi plant, please post? OK?
Yeah a thai farm is propagating it.

From what I've heard, the Thai farms are charging a bomb to export any to Sg. That's why no one dares to bring it in... before they even tag on a profit margin, the plant is already too expensive to retail.

I was at Teo's farm with a friend 2 weeks ago. Acording to him the Thais wanted to supply him $30.00 per stalk of Downoi.
I managed to get 1 stalk, now have about 8 plantlets.
