Hello all! Its been quite a while since any discussion has been
going on through here so I thought it was about time to start
something up! First off I wanted to see if anyone has had any
expierences ordering plants through florida driftwood. I placed an
order through there and i have to say i am EXTREMELY disapointed
with thier customer service and product. Not only were the
increadble rude it took over a month to fill my order and get it
shipped, and once I fianally did get it they didnt ship my rotala
macaranda for some unknown reason and the lace plant i did recieve
is in rather poor shape which is fine by me because im sure it will
come back alright in my tank. but the whole ordeal was rather
disapointing and frustrating to say the least.... i order several
other pretty common plants also some dwar hair grass a few crypt's
and some glossostigma and they wernt in all to great of condition
either.... needless to say I wasnt impressed at all with the
product and i surly didnt appriciate my emails being ignored but oh
well live and learn I guess i wont EVER do buisness there again....
anyone else have any expierence ordering through florida driftwood?
good or bad?
Anyway getting back to my post topic Is anyone out there growing
lace plants? or have any past expierence with them? I have tried to
do some research on the net and did find some good information but
would like to learn more, and some sources conflicted a bit..... a
lot said that the lace plants like a nutrient rich, warm loose
substrate that is low in organic matter, whiile others stated that
it benfits from a substrate high in aged organic matter.... but
most agreed that it can be a rather hard plant to care for and
conditions need to be met for success. Any one have good luck with
this plant and able to get it to grow well? I read a lot of people
having it do really well until it went dormit when they were never
really able to get it to come back, any advice or tips for storing
it through the dormit period? i couldnt find anything about that
really.... just 2 sources i belive that recomended storing it in
moist peat for 6 weeks to 2 months for the rest cycle before
planting it in the tank again. any expierences people have had
would be appriciated good or bad, we can all learn from others
mistakes, maybe try doing something different than what others who
didnt have success tried.
Also is anyone growing rotala macaranda that could part with some
cutting to either sell or trade or something of the like? I was
REALLY disapointed to not get that one in my order and i dont
really need any other plants and other mail orders all have a min.
order usually..... so i would like to try to get some cuttings if
anyone could help me out please let me know.... thanks a lot every!
