RE: [APD] Bolbitus bleach damage/ red river clay

["Sharon Frey" <sharonfrey at earthlink_net>]

I have Java Windelov that is trimmed twice monthly which may be what you
call lace.  Send me your address off APD and I'll send you very healthy
some.

Again bolbitus heudelotii needs to find it's place.   Give it time and give
it time and give it time.

Most best,

Sharon

The few rhizomes I have are fairly small (about 2-3 inches) and I did trim
off the black leaves, a couple of the rhizomes are showing signs of new
growth and a couple are turning brown :(
I had the lfs order plants for me a couple times but they are very poor
quality and seem to have problems getting in the plant you ordered and paid
for. I had them order java fern lace and they sent val which they tried to
convience me was jfl. If you again trim your bolbitis I would love to have
some. Even after having to cut what i have back to the rhizome it is as nice
as what the lfs generally sells for plants. (sad but true)

Enjoy,

the healthiest hair algae I have ever seen!
