Your rock combination is good. Two different kind of rock colours and it still looks nature... Maybe can add some brown fine sand or small pebbles along the rock edges to blend along the white sand contrast ...

Thanks bro for the advise. Will to find some small pebbles to simulate loose piece of rocks to scape it.

Nice combination of rocks! I would think some of your plants will die off from a lack of nutrients due to no soil being present. Not sure if your liquid ferts would provide enough for them.

I did put 1 tab of root nutrient (into small pieces inserted near the crypts n grasses), the crypt will melt initially then reborn again.

If you do not dose often. You can try the below.

Get those planter paper pots or just use small plastic pots.

Fill them with soil/ada2/gex and dump in some root fert.

Push the pot inside the non fertile substrate And cover.


I use this method in an alternate fashion to limit crypts from growing too far.

hm, would it be better if we put the root ferts in DIY capcules and push it into the soil? those kinda capsules we use for medicine..
