Journal Sreepadma GroWoW! Test Tank: New plants, are they legit?

[le.nella]

So you're killing me with the last picture. I don't know what I like more - the plants (awesome), the glass bubble grow outs or the Python! Probably all of them.

Great job!

I bought an extra long hose from Menards to make it go all the way to my sink, but its a very flimsy material so I might need to buy actually strong tubing haha. So much for trying to save money

The glass bubble grow outs are nice. A lot of the Xyris is growing out nicely. @Jhardee85 I will add the X. smalliana seeds in here later, too scared of algae haha. However, when I do get the APT Feast aquasoil, I will set up a new tank and submerge the X. smalliana in there. For now, I will grow them emersed to try and get more flowers. Thank you again.

The colors look amazing here. I am really happy for the plants that are going to come in coming December. I am really excited to try sindoor since I have had many people be actually successful with Cryptocoryne Sreepadma Sindoor for once. I have this one friend who has it growing out nicely in a decent high tech (not nothing crazy), which makes me think we can finally get it growing here now.

He just sent me a picture today!



I wonder how it would look like in super high tech. We will have to see late next month!

Wow what a great shade of pink! That’ll be a keeper if it can expand in the hobby. I tried it once myself but not the sreepadma version.

How many tissue cultures should I bring? Like 30 ? haha.

Heck yeah its certainly a beauty. I am surprised C. sivadasanii isnt that big either, or a few others. I wonder how their tonkenesis looks like too.

 

[Mr.Shenanagins]

If you can acquire the sreepdama I will try it again. I almost made a purchase on your site the other day because you had some amazing discounts on some TC cups but I had nowhere to put those plants lol.

I hope 30 is enough. I actually pre-ordered both of those crypts as when i looked them up i was surprised how awesome they looked. I'm hoping that the sindoor and pink i preordered from you take off. The first pink tissue culture i tried from a different brand just completely melted. The other sreepadma TC I got from you before are doing great so that's why I am hopeful with these.

You could always setup another tank

Yes! If you want to, go on the website, and there's a preorder product where you can pre order it. Pre order closes today (with 20% off until 8pm cst) so make sure to buy some!

I may honestly order more. I will make up my mind tonight. I wanted to order last week but I was waiting on someone else before I finished. But yes, we are good to go on the order tonight. All orders should be shipped out before Christmas if everything goes well.

I’m going to try your Sindoor too, and see if I have better luck with it.
