Most of them are dry land terrestrials so no worries about changing conditions to suit them. With the bog types, most gardeners either a have naturally wet spot or just water them a lot. There's a breeder down in Texas named Marcelle Sheppard who has some beautiful stuff, but plants bred and raised in warmer areas are generally more tender, even for the same hardiness zone. And I don't have any more room for house plants.

It's at least 5 years old. The leaves are more than 1 meter long, and there are a lot of them. It's too bad I will have to take it out next week. :(

I have a baby plant (less than 2 feet) that I can sell for $5 or trade for some other plant. I also have some baby Aponogeton ulvaceus for sale/trade; the mother plants grew over 3 feet and flowered.

Huh! I'd be interested in either one but timing is terrible. I'll be away and I'm going to miss the meeting.

Actually, I'm dying to try an A. madagascariensis in the 110. Anyone know of a good local source?

Cheers.

I have 2 (maybe more hidden) baby Madagascar Lace plants growing. Once they get a bit bigger and I know they will survive, I will likely pull my big plant and bring it to auction. It is a bit big for my 37g and I have to trim it back on a weekly basis.

37g planted, 11g planted, and three 5.2g planted shrimp tanks.

Sounds great.
