    Check this thread... http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/s...dition-did-you-get-lately&p=246826#post246826

    You missed out with the demo at Pet Stop a few weekss ago. There were a handfull but was sold out in minutes... Pierre got two and I suspect he wanted three but kindly let me have one as they "found" another one as I was paying and about to leave... I have three now and doing well as you van see but as nervous as hell that I am going to kill them..:unsure:


    If I have spares in future you van buy some from me at aaaahh, lets say... R1000 each???? :confused:
    Just kidding...

    You would pay £3/£4 (R47/R62) for a dormant bulb in the UK.

    From what I understand, they are quite tricky to grow.

    If you hunt you can sometimes find the bulbs at bulk no name brand importers like AK - typically R50 - 70 a bulb .. will need to take you chances on them. Or get a good looking anubias import - seen them go for R120 - 150.

    I have had zero luck with getting mine to got from flower to seed.

    hi
    i had the same problem with my lace plant not growing and leaves becoming black and dying.
    put them in a low tech planted tank and cut down fertilizer to once a week. You can see see how it has grown in the above pictures.
    I only had the bulbs left when i put them in this tank


    thanks

    Sjoe - have not seen them for a while, and have not seen the loose bulbs either. We did get some Anubia stock in - must be 2 years back, maybe more, but nothing else that I can recall.
