Maggie Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 That looks awesome!! I have a water sprite that grows like mad - isn't it fun being able to measure growth literally every day? Snap a pic when it breaks the surface! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNubbin Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) All the way yes! Man, I wish my bananas would grow like that! The leafs on mine tend to want to melt after a month or two. After reading @Daniel post about Banana plants and their water parameters, I am thinking my water is far to hard and alkaline for them to thrive.

McNubbin Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I've been collecting rain water for this purpose. Ill be looking for a cheap 10-20 gallon to setup for the bananas and some other soft/acidic loving plants and fish. This winter I'll collecting everything to put gutters up on the pole barn before the winter thaw hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
