Mangrove looking happy tho I always find air plants to be finicky. I think the succulents look better anyhow! Loving the selection of zoas/palys - you must have some decent local shops in your area! 1 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'd recommend salt-tolerant succulents like barrel cacti, Batis maritima, strand asters, or something like Oenanthe fistulosa. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Wow I didnt even know salt resistant plants existed.. That will be the next option I actually love how the batis maritima looks, that might be the perfect plant... 1 Quote Link to comment

Native to east coast swamplands, pretty to boot, it's a shame the swamp lilly's don't have the same tolerance. Glad I could help ^^ 2 Quote Link to comment

The only reason everyone airplants die is because of the watering misconceptions, you dint spray them, you have to soak them in a glass of declorinated water for 12-24 hours once a week, I have a few airplants that are 2 and 1/2 years old using that method 🙂 Quote Link to comment

Meanwhile the ones I have over my micro pond I never spray never soak are doing amazing... Im thinking it was a little too salty for them.. Or the light was too direct on them not sure 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm sure if you go to a random home improvement store of sorts you can find something, I was thinking of even doing it in a round shallow glass bowl before I found this one! , maybe that would be something you can try? 1 Quote Link to comment

The aquatic stuff is looking great though! 2 Quote Link to comment

Not talking about the spaghetti worm, the spaghetti worms are masses of tentacles I have many. I'm talking about thr skinny ropelike bristle worm with the many long spikes pulling the pellet 1 Quote Link to comment
