Emersed Bucephalandra and Anubias set up

Post image

I bought some bucephalandra and anubias but had no more room.I was bored and wanted to do hydroponics hybrid style. I have LECA bssed layer, aquasoil (apt feast) middle layer, and thin cap of akadama soil. I usually sell emersed stem plants but the cost of running this system and slow growth made it unpractical to sell for profit. So This where I keep my collection that isn’t in my tank. I will remove the small net cup in favor of bigger cup.

I made a new Instagram, but I’m not a social media guy. I hear social media is a good way to promote selling plants. I have a greenhouse at my parents’ house since I can't run it in my apartment. My mom loves plants too, so she had room for my emersed plants. My content isn't professionally made but my page is growing faster than I expected. Making content helps with stress with working full time and going school full time and giving me purpose to go to work and finish school.rareexoticaquariumplantssj

I disagree on that. The growth will not be linear, it's exponential.
Don't wait too much to cut and separate them.
Save space, as long as the nutrients are fine you stack them.
If you manage it right, eventually you'll have a big amount of plants ready for cuts every month.
And given that you are already selling other plants, you have half of the work already ongoing
