RE: plant ideas sought




Wendy, I have 3 old aquariums that I use for plants.  Two of them house my
seedling orchids so I don't put lids on them and one has ferns in it and I
leave it sealed so tightly that I only have to water it once or twice a year.

African violets grow great under lights...just don't seal it up too tight,
make sure there is some airflow.  I sealed up a tank with a glass lid that
had a violet with one moldy leaf - soon the entire tank was mold covered.
Duh, lesson learned.  One moldy leaf would not have been a problem on my
kitchen table or in an uncovered tank.  

I also have some goldfish plants that share real estate with my orchids and
bloom very well under lights.  Don't ask me to spell the latin name, I can't
do it without looking at a book, but they are in the same family as violets.  

Good luck,

Sam

Hi Sam......

Thanx for all the great ideas.  I too, have an unused aquarium and might just 
try some of your ideas.

Take care,  Claire
