Re: [AGA-Member] Brazilian Pennywort and Aqualine Buschke

[Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com>]

When I had Brazilian penneywort, I never had trouble growing it but I 
never made much of an attempt to get it to root.

I just shoved the stems in the gravel and it grew up like a vine. When 
the top became too heavy, it would pull out of the gravel and float. 
Then I would rip off the bottom three inches and shove it back down.

If you want to make it crawl along the bottom, you'll have to be very 
clever and persistant in weighing it down, or get it to grow through 
something like maybe dense hairgrass or riccia.

I think Luis told me that Aqualine Buschke is a German company. I'm not 
sure whether Luis is on this list but if he is he'll certainly answer. 
If not, I'll e-mail him privately and frog-march him onto this list.
