Plants for sale!

[Avalon]

I haven't posted a plant sale here in some time. Here's what I have:

Tonina manaus, $5 per bunch
Rotala verticillaris, $5 per bunch
Rotala sp. "Vietnam", $5 per bunch
Limnophila sp. "mini", $5 per bunch
Pogostemon stellata, $4 for 3 nice stems
Blyxa japonica, $4 per bunch (enough stems to get you a nice stand)
Echinodorus angustifolia, $5 for a set of decent sized runners, I don't have mother plants available
Echinodorus tenellus "micro" (it's the one that turns gold/reddish) $5 for a good set of plants
Hygrophila sp. - this is similar to low grow, possibly porto velho. This is it: http://www.barrreport.com/aquatic-pl...und-plant.html, $5 per bunch
Hygrophila sp. "Bold", $4 for 3 stems
Polygonum sp. "Kawagoeanum", $2 per stem
Flame moss, $5 2x2" section
Taiwan moss, $5 3x3" section


Here's how it goes: my "bunch" is 5 stems minimum, as I usually give more. The way I figure it, if you're going to buy plants, you want enough for a decent stand. You will get what you pay for: very high quality, healthy plants pruned right before they are shipped--and in most cases, one bunch will be enough. I am currently waiting on USPS to ship my boxes to me, then I will ship to you on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday (the first available day, I can ship any day if you don't care about waiting an extra day). So, there's time to request photos, ask questions, etc. Shipping is $6 no matter how much you order. Paypal only; I do accept CC paypal payments (no e-checks please). PM me if interested. For MFT peoples, buy two bunches, get 1 bunch of your choice for free (or name your extras)!

Also, these plants are grown in extremely soft water (RO) with CO2. You may experience difficulty if you try to grow them in hard water with a KH higher than 6-8 dKH), but you can surely try if you wish. Due to customs delays, I will not ship outside of the USA.

Hmm, Petco's plants are lame. Then again, I have no money atm...

BUT! Do you have suggestions for my 55g? I consider myself clueless about lighting and I have no CO2. The lightbulb package says "15 Watt, T8, 8000K." No idea how that applies to le planties. Help?

My mosses aren't grown with CO2...they are grown in tap water in containers with sunlight. Honestly, having a nice planted tank takes a lot of work and a reasonable investment--some of it money, but mostly time. Typically, you invest in the start-up costs, then the rest is what YOU do with it.

Well, so far I have only lost one plant (because my light broke and I couldn't fix it for a week) and some others had to be trimmed down quite a bit when I discovered the light in the 5g sucked.

So my question is, since I don't know all those plants you posted and what care they need/lighting, are there any in that assortment that would work for me? Or should I stick with what I have and get random things from the store that I won't cry about if they die? And if I got any of those, would I need extra CO2?

If you purchase my plants, you will need CO2, with the exception of the mosses. They are not grown with CO2 or ferts, only water and light.
