Wabi-Kusa

Yeah it does, that's why I like the Wabi-Kusa method - it gives you more room to have a bit of water and still have soil in it without mucking it up. Also in the few years of my aquarium plant keeping, this is the much easiest way to keep a tank full of some bog water and not a full tank of water.

 

Little update..
Recently moved over to natural sunlight. It now sits in front of a window with no extra light on it. have to say... I am very pleased with the results.

 

Update on my wabi-kusa. Sadly I think the DHG doesn't do well in the cold, even though I do have some new growths, it's been rather here over the winter and I am quite surprised it's still alive, hopefully with spring / summer round the corner, it will do better in the warmer weather. The moss seems to do better in the cold weather, however how stringy it gets - I think this is spiky moss and I quite like it. I'm also surprised that the anubias has done well converting to emersed. Sadly I lost all the buce, not happy in very humid conditions and went mouldy after a few weeks. The ferns are also doing well too - lots of new shoots every week. Oh not forgetting the hydrocotle tripartita, it is doing very well and growing, even if it's slow.

As it appears I have been neglecting this wabi-kusa, it does have some nutrient deficiency, which hopefully soon I can fix as I have already got liquid plant food for the whole tank and with the warmer months / sun getting up earlier than usual, they will all get better day-light.

 

Oooh I must have gotten my information wrong when I last googled for the info. You're right, it's on the 20th March. Still it's not a long way to go anyway.

 

Yeah I have been quite busy - having to stay away from the forums because of my studies and well dealing with some rather strange illnesses over the last few months (doctors are puzzled at this stage), I had to take a break from everything. Luckily my wabi kusa doesn't take much of my time and I have more time for other things that need to be done. Other than that, I'm doing fine really. I just take one day at a time.

 

Ugh not a happy bunny right now - been in pain all day so my aunt has said take it easy and go with the flow. She's great really.

I"m writing a book and studying and Facebooking, looking for hilarious memes.

This so resonates with my scottish / yorkshire side - so funny!!!

@Rainstorm,

Nice to see you online again

Tank looks very nice

Sorry to hear you havent been well and hope you recover soon

 

Thanks, @MariaS, hopefully soon we can get to the bottom of this mystery ailment.

Yeah I'm super happy with the tank, I just need plants that don't require heating and then I am good to go. I"m actually quite happy with the tripartita, it looks so pretty like dainty little pennyworts going everywhere.

 

Update on the tank - spring is round the corner and I have had an explosive growth in the last 2 weeks. Had to trim the moss down.

 

Update

 

Thanks. Yeah a bit stressed here, with what's going on amid the Coronavirus and work shutting down for a couple of days. I'm in the high risk category so I've been told to stay at home until it is safe for me to come back to work. So I am going to go crazy before this week reaches Friday.

 

Awwww thanks, I chose the name cos for some reason, it resonated with me - I'm always at peace with a rain storm and because of my years involved with the spiritual world, as a seer (some call me an oracle, and other labels), I'm always exploring the unknown and learning new things all the time. Short story is I came across Mayan day signs and it happens that I was born under the mayan day sign known as Rainstorm, Kawoq, Caucau - Rainstorm being the english version of the two. It grew on me and I've used it since. I also love the turtle totem too, which also is the totem for the day sign as well.

Every single rain storm we had on the farm, I always felt some sort of calling (it's like music to me) - I always knew the rain would come and sweep through like a broom with thunder and lightning. I could smell it before it happens. I know exactly when a rain storm would come along and for some reason, I've always been lucky in the UK - not getting caught in a rain storm because of that ability to predict it. It is just music in my head, for some strange reason, it feels so calming and I feel at peace with it.

And yeah a new day would signify rainbows - rainbows meaning hope, always hope after a storm for a brand new beginning. For some reason, I can just see rainbows associated with your forum name.
