I'm not entirely sure if this belongs here.
So, I've moved from aquascaping to the terrarium/vivarium hobby. Due to lack of time and brutal water source in my building, that had the worst KH. So bad that, no matter how much CO2 I put in the water, it wasn't binding.
I've kept a few semi aquatics in the newly "scaped" vivarium.
One plant in particular, that many of you I'm sure have, is hydrocotyle tripartita . I noticed that the water portion of the vivarium had little dust looking particulate, floating on the surface. I assume it was mold/fungi spores, as mold/fungi is very prevalent in vivariums. Mine more so, because of the humidity.
I had just noticed today, strange leaves on some of the Hydrocotyle. Turns out, they are flowers and the spores I had seen, is pollen.
I'm not sure if anyone has seen hydrocotyle flower, if not, here's a look.
