I'm growing Chia plants in the corners of the crabitat !

Post by Tetra8CClyPeatus »

I am not sure where this topic goes in the forum, any admin or mod please move it to the appropriate sub forum thanks !

Chia plants; It's very good for the crabitat sustaining with the humidity, heat and soaking up moisture, even oxygenating the air as well.
Good for the crabs to eat too.
I think it's soo pretty in the crabitat to grow live plants on the substrate.

Updates : it has grown taller and spreading too .

Wow that looks great! Very clever idea.
Great for the crabs to have live plants.

That is great! Once I grew a thick carpet of poppies accidentally because someone brought me beach sand and I didn't bake it. I also got an infestation of ants who were after the poppy seeds as well. The sprouts didn't last long and smothered after a couple of weeks. How are your chia doing now and what sort of substrate do you have there?
