Pretend Chat 2.14

[Yvonne G]

Oh, I totally cheated and just bought a seedling. I'm very hit and miss when it comes to getting trees/seeds to sprout.

I think out of 100s of empress seeds I've tried, I've had 2 germinate. So much for invasive.

I thought about buying a seedling, but they were too costly for me at that time. I think I got 50 or 100 seeds. But so far nothing.

I also bought an empress tree. It is now over 30' tall. And every other year it drops seeds and a few of them sprout. I can see where it might be an invasive species. But its a great shade tree and the blooms a quite pretty.

I have horrible luck with seeds, too.

Busy!!!
No, I haven't gotten my baby yet. My learning curve it turning out to be steeper than I thought. I thought I was knowledgeable on aquariums because I'd had aquariums much of my adult life; but the last time I had one was in 1991- almost 25 years ago!!! (I'm almost 61). The only filters we used "back then" were the under gravel filters, which nobody seems to use these days. A wonderful forum friend sent me some canister filters to use, and I've got my 20 gal long aquarium set up on its stand.
My current issues are: tannins in the water from the mopani wood and what is best to use for heat and UVB. I was going to use a MVB, but because the aquarium is so small, I'm afraid the MVB will heat up the WHOLE thing too much.

Thanks so much for asking!
