No ferts. Just watered it with aquarium water. The Utric. faded out and the Rotala sp. 'Bangladesh' is still in there, just really, really small.

Cheers.

I meant to post my previous entry to this thread (erroneously posted to one of Jeff's threads):

Curious is there were any new pictures, and also thought you might be interested in this link:

Kevin;

I guess you could consider it an emersed Wabi-Kusa. Traditionally they use terrestrials like Japanese Maple seedlings, ferns, grasses and such, but I decided to try emersed aquatics just to see how it would work. It looked really good until we went on holiday for a couple of weeks and it dried up; even placed in a terrarium. It was one of the few brainstorms my wife actually liked, so ill try one that's a bit hardier next time. It dries out rather quickly.

Cheers.
