You have complied a great list of plants for Riparium displays. I have been into aquatic gardening lately and would definitely give a trial shot to some plants from this list. Personally i like Crypts from this list.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Regards,
Steve

Hey thanks. I have meant to try some HC, although I wonder if it might be too fine to cover those trellis rafts–perhaps if left to grow very dense.

It took a while, but I also reformatted that article as a cleaner Web page, linked from the Riparium Supply Website.

Great to hear form you again. It is so nice to see a blog comment that isn’t an auto insurance or Viagra solicitation. Those plants that you sent are looking good. The C. cordata is growing well in the crypts riparium. The Polygonum gows very fast and has reached up out of the water several inches. Interestingly, the emersed leaves have darker chevron marking on them, which I don’t see on the underwater leaves.

Fantastic collection of rare and beautiful plants, it’s a great and fun hobby to help preserve these exotic plants from extinction.

Great article. I’ve had a lot of luck with Bacopa too. Another I’m having luck with is HC. It really thrives at the waterline.

Looking forward to the next article.

Cheers

Thanks very much. I hope that people will find this system to be useful. I think that the most compelling aspect is that it provides a way to grow many kinds of plants that haven’t really been kept in aquariums before. The emergent aquatic flora includes many species with beautiful forms. Riparium displays provide a great way to enjoy the foliage and especially the flowers of these plants.
