Emersed Growing Setup

I decided to try to grow some of our excess plants in a cheap emersed grow setup. Ive seen a few other people grow them this way with lots of success. I just took a few plastic Sterlite shoe boxes and cut out the lids. I then covered the lids with plastic wrap to hold in humidity. I filled the containers a few inches deep with potting mix. The potting mix was wet down and then I planted a few species of plants. There is Micro Sword (Lilaeopsis brasiliensis) and Pogostemon helferi in one and Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis parvula) in the other. The tubs are on the bottom shelf of our rack with a 6500k CFL bulb hanging above them. I mist the boxes every morning to maintain the high humidity. I havent noticed much growth yet, but its only been about a week. I will update on a monthly basis to show any growth that occurs in these setups.  Look for a video soon on our youtube channel going over this setup in more detail.

Thank you all for reading.
