WABI KUSA - First attempt, Planted Emersed Pico

3rd Month Update!!!

First off, thank you to everyone that posted in this thread

3rd Month Update!!!

I think this has been an interesting development so far. Having a Wabi Kusa (or a good attempt at it) should be done when you can exercise a great deal of patients. This can easily be accomplished if you have other tanks to distract you and this is just another 'planted' something percolating on the back-burner.

Anyways... here are a series of photos marking the 3rd month of growth. I included some close-ups of the Baby Tears. They are sprouting little flowers!!! So subtle and minute, but very cool nonetheless.

The one thing that I would critque myself about on this one, is that I think the Wabi could have benefited from some broad leafed green plants around the base of the Ludwigia sp. Red. Something like Staurogyne Repens.

Any comments appreciated! Happy planting!

Spot the flowers???

Here's a cropped close-up

That's awesome Brian! It's looking lush and healthy. I still have mine but not nearly as nice.

Yeah, I was looking for a good pic but I don't have a current shot. I've subbed to Autumnsky's wabi thread and hopefully tomorrow show my stuff...lol
