Re: Aldrovanda in cultivation
Arvin, I was refering to what Richard said...
"They can tolerate very warm, even hot water, which may be lethal for most fish, 95(F), (40C) is not unusual, and in fact, it is one of the factors that will cause them to produce flowers. In my ponds, if they have temps in the 90(F) for at least 2 weeks prior to the summer solstice (June 21), they will produce flowers in mid July, and often profusely at that!"
It has been a common misconception that they need highland temperatures year round. So tropical growers have them in air-con rooms!
