i would like to start some HC growing emersed i have some in my tank now but i want to try some out because i heard it grows faster and i want to add it to my second tank. i know it can be done and works well but i have never done it my questions are as fallowed.

1) should i keep the contaner covered to keep them moist? (if i do this how do i get new air and CO2 to the plants)

2) how far away from the lighting and how intense should the lighting be?

3) what should i mist and keep the substrate with (example: tank water from my planted tank, tap water mixed with liquid fertz or anything else special)

thanks for all the help and if there is anything else i may have over looked please tell me. thank you.

this is how well it works growing emersed
