    Hi,

    I just setup a Vivarium 2 weeks ago as 50:50 land/ water setting and used the following plant on my land side -
    - Anubias barteri var nana
    - mini java ferm
    - mini bolbitis
    - java moss
    - hc cuba
    I mist the plant once in morning and once at night...
    I notice that some of the nana leafs start turning yellowish...
    the mini bolbitis and mini java ferm star turning black...
    Can anyone tell me how to safe the plant?
    Btw I do have some BW planted fertilizer left and I'm thinking is it ok to mix the fertilizer with water and mist to the plant?
    Thanks

    hi , your plants are emerge or submerge? the plants you have are submerge type...if you leave them to dry out, the will die.. You have to constantly keep them wet.

    I do not think that it is due to the lack of nutrients, but of humidity. My paludarium, I use a cover to keep the humidity in the tank.
    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he will drink beer while getting sunburnt.

    Hi i only know Nanais/java fern ok if turn yellow-ish, they growing still check fourm or MAC. Should be ok, unless your light really so bad low demand Nana & Java fern can die.
    bolbitis i not sure, sound to me like very hard plant. Maybe ask the senior-senior masters
