Figured I'd share my emersed bins with everyone. The first bin has been up for over a month and the second was just set up a week ago. I'm currently keeping them in my garage. They get about 12-13 hours of light a day. 23w, 5000k cfls in 8.5" shop light domes.
They've been doing great so far. I'm a little worried about the winter months coming up. Heat does leak to our garage from the house so it won't get as cold as the outside temp but I'm thinking it may still drop into the 50s, maybe upper 40s on cold nights. I think this may be a problem for the plants since they are all tropical.

Bacopa Monnieri
Pogostemon Erectus

Cardamine lyrata or hydrocotyle?
and a couple pieces of Elatine Triandra that may be pulling through in there.
Bin 2:
C. Lucens
C. Wendtii
Persicaria sp. 'Sao Paulo'
