[IBC] was Artificial lighting, Now swamps
Just trying to help. Your post prompted more questions than
information. Sorry if I offended you. I guess the gist of what I was trying to say was that by the time you figure out what it's going to take to get the bald cypress to grow successfully indoors, you'll have upset what's working for the rest of your trees. (maybe a Dupla substrate heater?) You have a nice day. Bill Butler You could be right, the main probelm I have is I am not really trying to bonsai these trees but what i am trying to do is set up a living display (stylized) of what a swamp looks like. I spent a lot of time and effort in the swamp observing what was going on with the trees and the associated plants. I was amazed when it turned out that fish lived much better under the conditions in my "Swamp" than they ever did in an aquarium. It took many years and the final product was only set up for a couple of months beofre hurricane Floyd and another less well known storm ended my work in progress. I am sure if it had been allowed to mature for four or five years my "Swamp" would have been an even more amazing sight. I do have a small 15 gallon tank indoors that i have had set up as a "Swamp" tank for five years now and it looks great. I'm not even sure i can recreate the originale due to heath problems ( I am disabled) and money problems. (it takes a lot of money to play sometimes!) I thank you for your efforts to help me. since the problem of not growing extends to some other plants but not to some I suspect there is something i am missing and I am too old and weak to promise i ever find the problem. sometimes you have to admit your limitations. I am going to give it a try one more time and I will post the results with pictures for anyone who is interested but it's still not really bonsai, more of a freshwater version of a coral reef aquarium. which is exactly what i wanted to do. I figured if something as delecate as coral can be grown and culitivated under artificial lights then cypress should be easy considering how easy they are to grow. I guess I will find out. Moon |
