fleshgear Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 i buy mine from a hydroponic store. i am sure that all of those store sell them. they are $0.25 each they also sell rock fiber or rock wool or fiber grow, all the same stuff just different brands. which is about $0.25 each as well. it is a natural product so you only have to rinse it off, rip it in half so the fibers run vertically and put the roots in, and put it in your tank. they place that i go to in calgary will sell you 1 of each if you only wanted to buy 1 of each. or you could go to a craft store like Michaels and buy those little clay pots and just put some gravel in with the plant. they have some very small pots.

fleshgear Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 using the pots and the fiber rock in an aquarium doesn't really benefit the plant at all unless there is fish that dig up the roots. the reason they, and I use the plastic pots is that they either dont have a substrate and or are growing the plants emersed and are using a lot of ferts. the fiber rock gives the plants an ideal rooting medium.

syno321 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Apache Seeds, in Edmonton on 149 St. just north of Stony Plain Road, sells all different sizes of the clay pots. It wouldn't surprise me if they sold plastic ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
