Various plant pictures

SnakeIce · 02-14-2007, 09:34 AM

I recently planted two 20s and have some other plant pictures to show off.

I just recently saw Anubius nana petit in person at Fish 2 U, a fish store up in South Salt Lake. I just had to get a piece even though it was 10 bucks.

These are the orchids I got for about 5$ each. They had the flowers either broken off or already finished so were on the mark down table. Normally they sell for 20$ and up.

I didn't clean the glass on the tanks, and the 20 long has a wierd mix of light over it. So for a teaser here is what I'm working on

Ten bucks is actually a good price for that, it can go for twice as much. Someday I'd like to get some--it looks really nice in that picture!

I also love that rock work--looks stunning!

Love the petit nana--it's great in smaller setups.

Nice orchids--do you mist them? I have one, and it's doing okay for now. My Mom has orchids, and she has problems keeping the humidity high enough for them to be happy.

looks great so far....I bought three nana petites over the summer, and I paid 5.99 a piece, but they only had about 5 or 6 leaves each on them, and it looks like yours has a bunch of leaves, so that price isn't too bad, as far as nana petites go. The rocks look very nice, too. What are your plans as far as fish go?

I think Erik was nice and as the first person to buy any petit I got the biggest one. They ranged from about 10 leaves up to this one with about 20 for the 10$. He also gave me some chain sword out of his tank the previous week when I was up there.

I have the orchids on trays of water with stuff to keep them out of the standing water. I also soak them each week, the larger one was a little bit wilty when I got it and it has perked up some. The smaller one had a leaf going dry, and it has held at the point it was at when I got it...

May not be all the moisture they can stand, but seem to be enough.
