 | Emersed Java Fern and Anubias Nana |
Nydiroth   Enthusiast Posts: 214 Kudos: 26 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Oct-2002  | How well would a java fern and anubias grow emersed after they have been grown submerged? Does the water need to cover the rizome or just the roots? I tried to search to board but I get a 404error. Thanks Dave |

No info when it'll be reinstated  .From what I remember reading, so long as the plant stays wet (natural habitat includes clinging to waterfalls) it will grow...I'm pretty sure that the rizome needs to stay wet. ^_^  Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]  |

Sorry that is the best I can do. Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?  VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

But, the rhizome does in fact stay wet in the gravel that it grows into. The roots as well remained in the wet sections. It did not grow up the wall of rocks it was near, but instead turned and kept growing in the wet substrate. So, I would not think it will survive if not kept complete wet of the rhizome There is always a bigger fish... |
