buzzy Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 thanks for the info/link is it legal to take plants from the streams/rivers or do we have to get captive breed/propagated stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't believe it is unless it is in a reserve/DOC land etc. Endangered plants/moss might well be illegal to collect - things like Fissidens berteroi that is only known from a few locations now. Have a look at Chara and Nitella spp as well, both complex algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentsparkle Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Most natives need strong light to survive. why is that? it's not as though we have strong tropical sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
