Plant of the Month
Welcome to the Plant of the Month section. Here we will focus on a particular plant each month and hopefully get your experiences with it. Or, if you are considering purchasing a certain plant then maybe this will help with your decision.
If you wish to submit an article on a plant we would like to keep the format similar. It should contain..
Name of Plant
Other Names :
Origin :
Growth Rate :
Planting Area :
Lighting Level:
Propagation:
Difficulty:
Temperature:
Size:
Availability:
And of course, a write up containing information about the species. It would be really helpful if you have actually kept the plant you are writing about and include any observations you have made. Photos are welcome but please only include photos that you took yourself or have permission to use. And remember, a plant does not have to be bright red, need CO2 and high light to be a great aquarium plant.
The long term objective here is to compile the articles into an html document to make it easy to navigate.
If we get lots of articles presented then we could turn this into a Plant of the Week or similar, since there are so many plants it would take years to put together.
So, I'll take the first shot at this with one of my favorites. Feel free to ask any questions about this plant or add some comments of your own. Shared information is always helpful.
