Hi Jarrod With the Java fern I cut off a frond and make about five fine slits with a scalple along the main vein on the upper side (Not from behind) but not compleatly through this shocks it into producing small leaflet and then roots apear about four weeks later leave the its a slow process but dont be tempted to make too many slits as it will just die and leave the frond with the fernlets on untill they are well established It has worked so far Cheers Les

and what did you get yourself? Cheers les

Sorry Matt My Dad has been sick so havnt been checking the forum LOL you dont have to worry about spelling Sleepy Matt I will look them up Cheers les

I dont realy know Matt as I have only realy done terestrials Aqua is a Brave New World with new hiden pitfalls so I am willing to experiment as it will keep me ocupied, do you mean ferns like Java moss or Java fern as ther are some sneaky ways to shock java fern in to producing plantlets But if its other furns I will need a botanical name and the do a bit of resurch on then first OK send me a list Cheers Les

I was reading that some people were using a layer of coconut peat under the substraight and that helped to produce CO2 in the tank by its slow decomp I was going to arc up the yeast reactor as that gave me good results with the crypts before what do you recon? Cheers Les

Do any members keep tubs of submersed plants for future planting prospects? If yes what types are you keeping? I just put three tubs 2Ftx1Ft one of Hair Grass one of Micro Sword and one of Ambulia cuttings in the glass house, they are restting on about 30cm of a mixture of aged sawdust and cow poo this reaches halfway up the sides and I am hoping this insulates a little but the glass house stays prity constant bromalaids and gingers grow in ther all year round Cheers Les
