Re: [Aroid-l] Growing Aroids in Planted Ripariums

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2009.11.15 at 14:07:45(20282) The scientific term for plants thatgrow on the edge of a stream is riparian. The term Riparium is acombination of the scientific term with the word aquarium. There aremany good articles on the net on how to set up planted aquarium as wellas some excellent books that can be found on pet websites although someare very expensive. I'd suggest you contact Devin Biggs dbiggs@xantusidesign.net for helpsince he is one of the guys that came up with the idea of the Ripariumand offers a line of products that makes setting up your aquarium mucheasier. Devin can likely suggest a good book for you as well. Steve HTML +More hostas@fuse.net wrote: I had never heard of a riparium before and have had trouble finding information about a palidarium. I think the planting of plants in containers is a wonderful idea and you have inspired me to try it in my 46 gallon bowfront aquarium. Can you refer me to any books on the subject? I did visit your website. Do you have more information about the fertilizing of plants? --Betty DavisCincinnatizone 5/6_______________________________________________Aroid-L mailing listAroid-L@www.gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --------------000402040501060101090704
