Re: Growing wisteria: tips and advice

Honestly, your water wisteria doesn't resemble either of the ones I've had. Maybe others here have more experience with this plant.

Is my floating tiger lotus bulb dead?

I accidentally snapped the bulb off my tiger lotus while trying to propagate a new one in a planted jar, and now it's just drifting around. Any chance it'll still germinate or should I just go for a fresh bulb?

Re: Is my betta's side bulge a cause for concern

I'd still love to see a picture if you can manage it, a photo might help narrow down possibilities.
