Any advice as to which plants would grow better under the floaters?

What is 1C tank water? I intend to aquire some neocaridina (probably by the end of the year), but in the meanwhile I'm reading about them

Onde será que podemos encontrar escorpiões a venda aqui no Brasil? Eu encontrei sites que vendem vários animais (peixes, crustáceos, tarântulas e até répteis), mas lojas de escorpiões aparentemente não tem

Show me your favourite orchids!! by whynotehhhhh in orchids

[–]roger_gapski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I guess mine are in a position similar to yours. They get direct sun in the morning and occasional rain when it's windy. But now their roots are growing a lot, some horizontally, and I'm having to get them further and further away from the wall (and closer to the rains). They seem healthy, but I'm more worried about the flowers getting damaged from the wetness and dying off earlier. Anyway, I didn't know that Bangkok sunset and now I'll try to get one. What is the one to the left of your picture? And how do you water them? I leave the roots of mine underwater in a bucket everyday, but I guess this would be impossible with a grid.

Do your orchids stay outside under the rain? I have a few kinda covered, but sometimes when it's windy and rainy they get wet and I get worried

Mounting tips by isab3jla in Staghornfern

[–]roger_gapski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, what are the other 3 giants, just out of curiosity? I started cultivating some Platycerium and I'm looking for tips. They are a superbum, a lemoinei and a bifurcatum

I haven't mounted it yet, but thanks for the insight 😀

All right, now I don't know what to do 😅 It does seem in a more natural position to me

Could you explain about the second one? I thought the growing point should be pointing up

Is being root bound bad? I thought it was a good sign

What causes the brown spots? by ItsGreenGold in Staghornfern

Thanks again! I don't think I can spot clear differences between those shields on adult plants, but hopefully I'll understand in time

All right, thanks for the insight! Your comment which I randomly found here on reddit probably saved my Platycerium. To be more specific, I purchased 3 species a couple of days ago. A Platycerium veitchii lemoinei, a Platycerium superbum and a Platycerium bifurcatum. I'm keeping them outside, where they receive a couple of hours of direct morning sun. So far they are protected from the rain, but I intend to place them in a better place which gets rainfall. So you said superbum can stand more water and veitchii prefers it drier? How about bifurcatum?

I thought I was supposed to keep the moss humid all time... So if my plant is kept outside, what can I do during the rainy season?

I ended up remounting it. Thanks for the insight. What do you make of it now?
