Extremely fascinating to see how plants can quickly adopt to different environment. Very informative thk u for sharing

From my experience so far, there will be a short transition period when the fissidens are shifted to a tank with different parameters and temperature (same as how most plants will react too)... but the transition is relatively quick so they will usually resume growth in a short time.Originally Posted by flatearthling
Sorry to revive an old thread but since we're at this topic I guess it's better than starting a new one. Do you open the covers for air exchange during the DSM period and for how long do you let the air exchange for?
For my outdoor container setups, i open the covers every 2-3 days (sometimes only once a week if i forget) for a few minutes each time. Its mainly just to check the growth progress and maybe re-position any detached bits of fissidens and top up abit of water... other than that i just leave the fissidens alone to grow on their own.
Will the growth be faster after it's rooted submerged or emersed? I'm thinking of doing something similar but leaving it to grow as fast as possible for future use.
I find that they tend to grow the fastest in emersed conditions under high humidity conditions (have to ensure that they don't dry out), so that is the type of environment to grow them out quicker.
