Default Mini Drosera Garden

This is what I have been doing the whole afternoon. Most probably I need to add more lighting for them to do well. Here's the species in the garden:

- D. adelae
- D. paradoxa
- D. hartmeyerorum
- D. filiformis (red)
- D. burmanii
- U. graminflolia

I think it'll look better when the utric cover the entire garden. At the moment have to use the black dirty looking sphagnum peat as the topping so that the utric will grow.

Well done, David! Nice setup, I like it. Now I am thinking of a terrarium, but not enough money......

Cheers

Ken,
Yes it is an aquarium. Got it from Pet Safari in Ikano some time back.

malowie,

PLL lights are a type of lightings used by planted tanks enthusiasts to grow their water plants. It's 2 long tube connected together at the end. Whether it uses a lot of electricity or not depends on the wattage of the bulb or how many you use.

Yes, I grow my cephs and heliam under those lights too.
