    Hey all!

    I have been thinking of doing these for a while, and with some trimmings from my slowtech scape I wrapped sphagnum balls in Java moss with some aquatic plants in. Now to just hope that the plants transition, the H pinnitafida is already wilting :eek:

    Plants include:
    -Buce wavy green
    -Anubias barteri
    -Anubias nana petite
    -Cryptocoryne wendtii green
    -Some stem plant
    -Hygrophila pinnitafida
    -Java fern

    The full set

    I have put these in a sealed tank under LED light with about 1cm of water. The goal is to have nice emersed moss balls, the sphagnum will rot if fully submerged. The end goal is to have nice wabi-kusa balls I can put in the traditional setups. Curious to see how this works!
