i have a small green house for my collection 10 X 4 M and 2,5 M high
to cover the green house i am using UV plastic and olso paranet 670 % to shade the plant
its a very traditonal green house but it work wor me
impressive nursery and collections!
You are the man!!!
Impressive indeed. Must pay you a visit when i get to indonesia! I wished i have that kind of land and space. Have to make do with just tanks for now.
The humidity of the green house is 100%?
For the gravel and substrate, do you do your own mix or collected together with plants?

lorba
it is not 100 % , but very humid
for the substrate i mix by my own. iam using Mud and mix with the feces of goat. but the feces should be fermented before we used
but i still have aproblem to cultivate the cordata family, its very very difficult
did you have plan to come to indonesia ?
Which part of indonesia are you residing? Jarkata?
I might be travelling for long period, so hopefully I can do some leisure ones before that.
What cordata sp are you referring to? zonata?
Have you tried dried sphagnum moss?
I used ADA malayan+africana with base fertilizer for most of my tank set up with 12hours of lighting. Covered for humidity. Your set up is one of my dream one, but its going to be very expensive to implement in Singapore.

i stay in jakarta but i put all of my crypt in bogor ( abut 40 Km from jakarta) because my hhouse is to small to cultivate crypt.
this is my cordata
for the zonata is getting better
i never used sphagnum moss, its good for crypt ?
rolland i am still learning , may be next time when i visit singapore i wil learn from you. nico
nico,
i am also still learning, considered a beginner myself. You are growing the plants much better then i do.
The dried sphagnum moss should be easily available in plant nursery. It gives a acidic base, neater and cleaner environment to take care of things. But for you, i guess its better with soil and mix. The plants should grow much better with more air space, cold temperature and plenty of rooting ground. If i start using dung, my office will smell like dung too!
Bogor is a nice place, no wonder the plants are all looking great! Jarkata will probably not be able to yield such results. No problems with the constant rain in Bogor?

ok i will try
there some impact of constant rain, but stil can be manage
Hi Nico nice setup you have for growing the crypt.
I think you are the few who i know have such setup.
I believe you need water them daily
I do feel that crypt grow better under nature lighting. with good ventilation.
Hi Roland, So you planning to setup a outdoor one ? Hope your dream can be fullfill.

Coco peat would be a cheaper substitute if not then rice husk is also another medium to mix with just soil.The dried sphagnum moss should be easily available in plant nursery.

ok thanks for your info
i will try to use coco and olso moss
so that i can compare the impact of them
