Ludwigia Sp Guinea




Another nice red plant that will add color to your aquarium, hope that you will enjoy it. The color of the leaves when grown submerse, will vary from slight red or light brown to very intense red as shown in the photos, this is due to the amount of light that the plant is exposed to, more light equals to more red.

Hygrophila Balsamica



Another of my favorite plant, the Hygrophila Balamica. This is not an easy plant for me on the farm, it will not be able to maintain it's form for a long time and will tend to wilt after a very short period. This is a plant that will require frequent pruning in order to be able to maintain enough quantity for sale. I have only recently been able to cultivate it and hopefully, be able to sell it in quantity soon.


Hygrophila Difformis Variegated


The hygrophila difformis var. that I have currently was obtained from KC in Guangzhou. The var. on this species is not really obvious when it is grown submerse and will disappear on some plants, it is most obvious on emerse plants, I will try and dig up some old photos that I have. In the meantime, hope that you will enjoy the two photos that I have posted.
Managed to dig up one photo of the plant growing out of the water, you can see the variegation quite clearly as compared to the submerse plant.

Crypt. Schulzei



This is a type of Crypt. that can be found in Kota Tinggi, it can only be found in a certain area of a forest reserve. This is not an easy plant and we have only recently been able to cultivate this Crypt. successfully on the farm. I will try and post better photos as and when I can.

Lud. Sp Pink


This is an interesting plant due to its color, it is almost white in color with a pink top. I hope to be able to cultivate this plant successfully for sale by the end of this year. Having a serious lack of sleep due to some problems at the farm, please excuse me for this short post, brain not working.

Here are more photos of the Lud. Sp Pink but this time it is the emerse type. You can see that there is white discolouration on the leaves, yet to see it flower. Hope that we will be able to see the flower soon.

Lud. Sp Cuba Twisted


One of my favorite plant on the farm, I got this from Dung(Vietnam) and I believe that the actual mutation of this plant occurred on his farm. I had been able to cultivate this variant on my farm and believed that it is now stable to cultivate without further problem.

I am also currently growing this plant emerse and the twisting can also be seen on the emerse plant, it looks just like Lud. Sp Cuba but with twist on the leaves. I will try and dig out he photos and post them soon. Hope that you will enjoy this plant as much as I do.



Crypt. Sivadasanii


A type of crypt. that I got from Rajesh at the last Aquarama. It looks like Val. Nana to me at first sight and did not pay much attention to it til Rajesh pointed out to me that it was a Crypt.

The plant is currently doing quite well on the farm and I ma surprised that Crypt. rot did not occur, I hope to be able to cultivate this plant soon. I will post more information as I go along.
