Has anyone tried one of the common dumb cane plants bare root in a skippy type filter? I'm thinking of giving it a try. I finally refilled my indoor pond today, after over a month of the fish in barrels and lots of work in the area. The back wall is now tiled instead of painted and there is a glass shield to keep the worst of the splash off the hall floor. It gets lots of light as there is a space above that is open but direct sun only for a few hours and only in the summer. I've had philodendron and pothos in there before and they do OK, not bad and not great. I think they lack nutrients as the fish in the pond are cichlids not large producers of fertilizer.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
