Ya I'm interested too
Thanks for the interest. Sorry for no updates. Thought this topic was forgotten about.Me too! I think it's really cool idea
I took really good care of the jar for the first month or so, but then started severely neglecting it. The Rotala rotundifolia seems to have grown a little bushier and taller(a little more than half way to the waterline). The water wisteria grew some roots but some of the stem rotted on them and had to be removed. One of the dwarf swords looks like it died (keeping its roots in there to see if it can recover) but the other two look salvageable.
replaced the water a few days ago and resumed giving about 12 hours a day of light. There is still some algae I need to clean off the glass. I'll try to add new pics after I clean it up some more. But the only real thing to see is that the rotala has grown some. Plan to trim the rotala soon to root some of the stems (want to add it to a small pond) but I'll take the pics first.
But in conclusion if someone else tries it and doesn't neglect it like I did, I think good results are likely(depending on what plant species you choose).
