First of all... "new plant" trends. Has anyone else noticed that as soon as there is some new plant in the hobby, everyone buys it, grows a TON of it, sells it to a bunch of other people, and then its totally forgotten? I remember there was this huge flame moss craze in the SnS, and everyone was buying and selling flame moss. Then it was UG. Then the same thing happened with downoi, and then Pogostemon stellatus and those ones, and then now its Sphaerocaryum malaccense. its interesting how things come and go in style... like no one really uses lagenandras anymore except in ripariums, and florida crypts and stoneworts... totally forgotten plants.
i've also noticed that lately, the number of sales threads in the SnS has decreased in a lot. Theres still stuff being sold, but whats the deal? I haven't spent much time on this website lately because of my homework load, but do you guys think there will be a lot more sales threads after christmas or anything? There are a bunch of plants that i wouldnt know how to acquire except from these forums.
thanks!
