Some "Marginal " Success with Riparium Plants!

As you know, we're doing our best to get you creative aquarist types hooked up with the stuff you need to do some awesome displays!

One of the things we've been working with is the Riparium Planter by Aqua Verdi, which lets you grow marginal plants in your aquatic display!

Of course, having a cool planter for marginal plants is that much more cool if you have the marginal plants! We've been quietly and diligently growing some out, so that we'll have a little assortment available to you in the very near future. just thought you might like to see some of them.

(Cyperus, starting to settle in nicely! )

We started with some quality plants and are doing our level best to get them off to a good start...It's as much fun as a hobby experiment as it is as a business venture! And, it makes the house look better with all of these cool plants around!

(Mexican Milkweed, coming along nicely; growing lots of new leaves! Can't wait for the pretty flowers!)

(Ruella Bluebell and Acorus are starting to do well after a rough start!)

(My personal fave, the "Cat Palm", taking root!)

What we're finding is that these are surprisingly resilient plants, and with more experience, a lot of love, and some common sense, we think we'll be able to grow and propagate them nicely. It's our hope to be able to offer these to you for sale in coming months as nice cuttings, so that YOU can start your next geeky aquatic adventure!

Stay tuned for updates!

And Stay Wet.
