Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance if I'm reviving an old topic, but I'm new to growing anacharis, and this thread seemed an excellent source of information to get me started. Firstly, I'd like to thank those who have already shared their experiences here, as I've found many useful answers to my initial questions.
That said, as the discussion is a little dated, I'm wondering if some of the information might be out of date, or if more recent methods have come to light since then. Here are a few questions to get me started:
On the subject of lighting: With LED bulbs now more accessible, is this a good alternative to CFL bulbs for growing anacharis? If so, do you have any advice on the best wattage or light temperature?
About water quality: Back in the day, tap water seemed to be used directly. Is this still good practice, or are there additional precautions to be taken today (chlorine treatment, for example)?
For temperature and maintenance: Ranger mentioned water at 24°C and partial water changes. Is this still the ideal method, or are there other approaches better suited to optimizing plant growth?
Last but not least: I'm also wondering whether placing a bucket or tub near a bright window is still relevant, or whether other modern equipment or techniques might be better suited.
Finally, if you've discovered any other tips or techniques since this thread and
this page, I'd love to hear about them!
Thanks again to everyone for any feedback. Reviving an old topic may not be ideal, but I haven't found a better place to ask my questions.
