planting plaudarium

[dabruno]

ok so i have a plaudarium as shown in my previous thread "tank fogging!!!!"
currently i have a brom and some lucky bamboo in there. i think that the brom is dying... it is right by my waterfall so i think that it is getting too much water how can i plant it elsewhere b/c its in a hole that i dug out of the greatstuff background. im adding some floating plants in there for my fbts (water lettuce or water hyacinth?) what are some good choices for plants for the land/air section? what are some good choices for the water section and wat can i put in the water and have it coming out into the air?


sorry for all the Questions, ijm new to aquarium/plaudarium planting.
Thanx...dabruno

Might be interesting to try Java Fern in the waterfall splash zone - this is in fact its natural habitat.

Anubias is a swamp plant, it will grow in the air. Same goes for baby's tears. What type of lighting do you have on the tank? I recommend looking at the black jungle website.

Not to mention the plants like Bacopa and Wisteria which will grow through the surface into the air, although the latter loses some of its attractiveness as the leaves become round rather than feathery.

how does java fern grow and how would i plant it in the splash zone?

i right now have flourescent light w/a cheap bulb, im getting a special bulb for plant groth soon.

will anubias or babys tears grow in the non water areas or does it need water on its roots or something

 

[SchizotypalVamp]

It will grow in the nonwater area. You would need to tie it to a rock.
