Wow! They are all very nice especially your superbum. Now my hands are itching for one!*biggrin2*
I think you can transfer your elephantotis to a bigger mounting board. It can grow very big.

Re: my platys
 

So nice.... where can get them?

Re: my platys
 

Your superbum looks so fleshy and good!!

Re: my platys
 

Nice grow Hongrui. I love platy, I hope I could get all 18 of them:tongue:.

Re: my platys
 

atmccmn: thanks, i'm intending to re-mount the P. ridleyii, P. elephantotis and P. superbum but i've yet to find time to get around doing so. perhaps during the long break during CNY...

timeeve: i got them in from thailand, mostly. some are from fellow growers here in sg

TS: it's not that hard to get all 18 species anymore. several thai nurseries/growers have got all. i just got those that do not require dormancy so that it's easier for me and i can just leave them in my garden. but i've lost 2 from rot, a P. ridleyii and a P alicorne.

Re: my platys
 

which one need dormancy ? kindly advise pls

Re: my platys
 

Oh! that's sad. Ridleyii is reputed as one of the most difficult to keep. I've just lost one of my oldest ridleyii. I think I misplaced it at a very hot area. Literally it was burnt to death!:sweating:

Re: my platys
 

You means, there are 18 sp. platys ? And some will go to dormancy as well?

I dont know that and it is interesting... Please share more about that
