I just bought 2 plants and was wrongly informed about them. They are; peacock fern and Giant Papyrus.
The kind people from Tetra, let me know that the plants aren't to be submerged :sad: I need your help on how to take care of them.
I have an empty 10 gal. I just don't know what to put the roots in and any thing you can come up with.
:fairy: Many thanks,
Amanda

have you thought about taking them back? the peacock fern which is a moss stays small but the other plant the pics i saw they looked like they got tall. i would say a few feet. i think its better to get rid of them now then later.

Yes, but I don't have the rec. and I don't Know what they'll do with the tubes gel-cup that the roots were in trown away
And your right i read it can get 3 or 4 feet!
I love the plants, but what good it that with the way they need to be grown
I don't have a extra light or window. They are tropic, so I can't put them outside
:look:
P.S this has a lot more smiles than the Tetra forum :cool:
