Yep, I did.  I have more dwarf sag then the other plants so that's why I didn't cross it off.

Oops! Sorry for the mass pm, didn't notice the forum posts in time. I think trying out a new plant type would be fun, but don't know which kinds would be best suited for my setup. I'll bring paper for notes and a bag for any potential planty donations (as long as it isn't java moss. that stuff has made too many shrimp disappear...).

charlie

I will bring some Pogostomon Erectus

I've trimmed my other Bucie and so have lots - I hope. I haven't inspected it yet, but I'm sure there will be some for lots of you. Please do some research online to make sure you can grow it, and if so we'll divy it up for those who want to give it a try. It's been growing in very high light, high CO2, moderate levels of macros and temperatures of 76 to 78 degrees F. Cheers

What is a "Bucie"? Google was unable to enlighten me, so I'm assuming this is hobby slang?

Oh! Is it Bucephalandra? It looks gorgeous. If you have enough to spare, I'll put in a request as well. The Aquatic Plant Society website lists the difficulty as "easy" and the lighting requirement as "medium", so I think it should be okay with my setup. Once I get a walstad tank set up, it should do even better.

Bucephalandra is the genus name. There are apparently no species identified yet, assuming there are individual species. Here's a web site I just got a link to from PlanteTank.net. I haven't read it but it should prove as a start for anyone doing a little research.

Is it Xmas morning? ;D
Dang i feel like a kid on Xmas morning  :P ;D

pm

Assuming I can make it, I too would love to try my hand at a buce plant.

I can easily bring some Rotala rotundifolia and Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini', and maybe some monte carlo... have it emersed, but it may have been overtaken by other plants... need to check.

I might not be able to get there until a little later (closer to 5:00), so if it ends early, could someone post or PM me?

Thanks

daworldisblack

Lol i'd like some of that new Buce too if its not already the one I got from you Greg! Peter, if you can spare some monte carlo, that'd be awesome too!
