Almost everything you need to get started growing a few riparium plants...with discounted shipping!
Riparium Island I Combination Package
The Riparium Island I Combination Pack includes most of the items that you will need to plant a small riparium island area in your tank. This is a great way to get started with a few plants while planning a larger setup.
The package includes the new Nano Trellis Raft design, which functions very well as a midground plant support and is easy to hide in the planted riparium layout. The following picture shows a Small Hanging Planter with the Nano Trellis Raft attached, substrate and some rooted Bacopa stems. This is essentially 1/2 of the items in the package, except that it does not include any live plants.
The following list is a complete breakdown of everything in the Riparium Island I Combination Pack:
The next shot shows one use of the black, water-resistant rubber bands, as an easy way to attach a rhizomatous plant to the raft.
Emersed Java fern is best grown in a high-humidity riparium setup, and is a great companion for crypts and anubias.
Note that the Island I pack also includes double portions of both Riparium Planter Gravel and clay pebbles substrate. While you can use any of various planted aquarium substrates to pot up your hanging planters, these convenient small bags will simplify the process. Here is a quick shot of the Riparium Planter Gravel.
The clay pebbles substrate (not pictured) is a more coarse material made of expanded clay that is useful for lining the bottom of the Hanging Planter. Certain kinds of plants, such as Spathiphyllum peace lilies, do best with most of the planter filled with clay pebbles and with a thinner cap of Riparium Planter Gravel on top.
This is quite a lot of stuff included in this package. Here are the two prices that I have calculated for the package components plus delivery.
Cheers,
