Lizards tail! It's native to the area. Infact
when I went collecting with Bob I saw lots of it
growing around the area.

However, I cannot get it to grow large leaves as I've
seen in Amano's pictures. Should I stick a jobes spike
under it?


Also saw this nice moss when out collecting...

I have not grown this underwater, but emersed it almost took over the house. It did not require a lot of humidity like most emersed growth. It grew very large. Almost 2 to 3 feet if I let it.

I liked it alot, but after a cleaning bing I hacked it out and replaced it with a fern.

Yeah someone else was telling me that's emersed
its pretty invasive. I'll try root feeding it and
see if that will make the leaf size larger.

Shoot, I'd love a plant that'd stay small. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">
