    Hello all,

    I'm Karthik, from Bangalore, India. We always had a garden at home with few hibiscus plants. Recently I picked up the interest in terrestrial plants and trees. I am slowly learning about different plants, fertiliser dosing etc. My other hobbies are motorcycling, growing aquatic plants (submerged and emersed) and fishkeeping. Hoping to learn a great deal from you all.

    I'll leave you with a few pics from my garden.

      Some aquatic plants I grew emersed (out of water). The list includes cryptocoryone wendtii, Cryptocoryne Spiralis, hydrocotyle tripartita, miscellaneous ferns, mosses and mondo grass (of course, not aquatic). I keep the setup covered with a transparent plastic sheet to maintain moisture and humidity.
