Where are you located? I can keep several species outdoors overwinter here in TX. It really seems to depend on severity of temperature, actual temp around the plants, and of course, the species. Nonetheless, L. brasiliensis managed to survive a winter her in TX. L. aromatica did not.
Nice start! I've got an emersed set up in a 20L, they're super simple to do. I'm loving how easily most things grow. Where in SC are you? Maybe we could swap some plants once things really start taking off for you.
WEEK 3! The good and the bad! The blxya and sword I put in there died, I think because I buried the crown to deep.
The good news:
Box 1
Box 2
Ludwigia Sp.
Hydrocotyle Sp.
Crypt
Ambulia, I think. IDK though.
Bacopa
IDK It looks like grass and grows from runners.
Hygro Compacta
Hygro Salicifolia
FULL SHOT:
Blyxa is a true aquatic. My swords, both of which had been submersed at least the last year, were extremely slow to transition. I'm just starting to get new growth.
I have to swords with 3 baby swords each coming off them. The roots are starting to show so I'm getting ready to clip them and I have one blxya ready for a trim so maybe I'll try that one to. Thanks.

@Overgrowth - I know what you're talking about. They're little fungus gnats. The Miracle Grow Organic Potting Mix is known to do that. Something about that mix..
I think if you let it dry out completely, you'll have less of a chance to get those gnats.
