Insect Direct Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 anyone know what it is and whether it will grow submersed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 It is green moss 8) Why don't you try it and see? Digging a bit up and then totally submersing it will not work though. Try growing it as a bog plant and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from my Grandad as he had it growing in the bottom of his glass house full of orchids for years, doesnt surprise me its bit of a weed but in saying that a weed is only a plant in the wrong place, and it should be good in my newt setup! Thanks again-its good to know exactly what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Going by the link posted, its also a pest plant. I'm not sure if its banned or not but it might pay to check it out. Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiverJohn Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Woo, lookie here... a link on the biosecurity website. http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pest-and ... elaginella Also listed in the "National Pest Plant Accord" See a summary here: http://www.rnzih.org.nz/pages/plantaccord.html Which the introduction says: The purpose of the accord is to prevent the sale, distribution, or propagation, within New Zealand, of specified pest plants. Maybe you should consider getting the Round-Up out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Haha fair enough, It seems a shame to have to get rid of a nice plant but if its a pest then best to minimise the spread + there's plenty more plants out there I can use I suppose!
