The Great Trimming Swap Thread!!

[Koan 36]

​

• Nobody likes tossing healthy plant mass

• We grow super interesting plants here

• Everybody has extra tank / filter / heaters around they've been meaning to get around to building into a farm tank...

It's easy!

TRIMMERS

Next time you have a big trim planned, or have just done: post a pic here of the plants!

Include the

• species name
• date cut / uprooted
• expiration / you-will-toss after date
• your zip code

TAKERS

Check cost of FedEx /UPS to your own address, and send the trimmer a PM with the offer to pay shipping

Love it! Great idea. I've started using pirateship.com for very decent ups and usps shipping rates.

I'm in search of hygrophila pinnatifida that is successfully transitioned to submerged. I've purchased it emersed twice and both times it's melted and given up. Anyone trimming up a bunch of hygrophila pinnatifida please post it (insert whimper here).

That should be an easy one to get. I just trimmed it in both my show tank and farm tank but will let you know next time if someone else doesn't help you first.

This is a great idea!

If anyone has healthy submerged hygrophila pinnatifida I’m looking for 8-10 small crown trimmings, doesn’t need to be rooted plants. Happy to setup a scapebid transaction to cover cost and shipping!
Just don’t want to have to transition them either.

can an admin pin this thread? Its a great idea, i just saw it today for the first time

 

[Mr.Shenanagins 450]

I’ve got a buttload of java fern petite I’m getting ready to post, a large Tupperware full. I will likely post to ScapeBid here soon if anyone is interested.

I just composted a grocery bag full of it this weekend, If I had seen this you would now be overrun with the stuff. Give me two weeks and I will set you up for life. Can even locally pick it up.

I also have more Java fern Narrow mini, ADA needle leaf, trident and ADA trident mini than I know what to do with.

I’d be interested too in the hygro

Sounds good, bookmarked it. My entire wood scape was HP so I removed 70% but it grows so fast I bet I can take another 30% off in two weeks as I look to reshape it. Depending where in SC you are you can come and pick it up.

Lowcountry, not close lol

@BranchScape thank you, most appreciated and I may take you up on a node or two.
In the meantime I have paid a premium for a baby runner of the ‘ratnagiri’ locality version that should stay a good bit smaller. Just waiting for weather to break a bit to have it shipped.

I definitely cannot pickup locally, but would be interested in getting in on the hygro trimmings and down to pay shipping.

Man, can't believe I missed this thread. I would love some of that ADA needle leaf and ADA trident mini but don't have any space in my current tank. Will reach out to @BranchScape in the winter if you still have some left.

Imagine me discovering this after throwing away 2 pounds of bucephalandras and multiple various types of mosses.

 

[Noahspapa 1]

I’d be glad to pay for shipping for any of the Java fern.

Please tell me that’s a joke

There is always next time!

Edit: gone! Local clubber is taking them.

Thinned a section during maintenance today.
Few starter stems of blyxa japonica, a small crypt wendtii brown ‘Indonesia’ that looks like it can be split into 2 starters, and a little portion of mini pellia.
East Coast 29720.

I have pond snails and some leaves may contain bba . I have inherited runaway ‘Thai’ moss as well fwiw.
I’ll trim off any obvious uglies and do a good apt fix lite dip before shipping.

Say pay it forward and send me a few bucks for shipping. Will leave the roots for you to trim down.
