Wanting to grow algae

WOW. Thank you very much. I was not expecting such an extensive reply. I will check it all out. If it reproduces so quickly than I may just use a 2 liter bottle instead of an aquarium. Great info thanks again.

You are very welcome! Something I forgot to say and is important is that you will usually get better results if you gradually increase the culture volume. eg do not add 10ml starter culture straight into a 10 gallon aquarium, but perhaps 10ml to 1 pint then after a day or two add more medium to say 1 gallon, then after another 2 days make up to the full volume of 10 gallons. Good Luck..and let us know how you get on. Ciao Brian

Hi, Chlorella is very easy to grow. In Mao's China people ued to grow it in bowls on their own urine - the only way to get essential vitamins etc during a time of famine! I suspect that you want a more sophisticated method! You just might be able to revive some cells from a dried Chlorella product, but I think it unlikely and definitely not the easiest way to go. For a starter...

As with home greenhouses, get a much bigger and more costly one than you think you will need. Tree services use gas-powered models the size of a tractor for a reason. The little electric ones are OK if you have lots of patience (and time), and not much material to process at any one time. I borrowed a friend's one - once - and it gagged on anything and everything that was not of a certain size ...

Blue Satin is a selling name for a vegetatively propagated cultivar. If you efforts are successful you will have Hibiscus syriacus seedlings, but none of them will be entitled to be associated with the name Blue Satin.

Check for pests - I had this same problem, and it was beetles inside the fruit that was causing it to rot. I had great luck training the vines up a trellis so that the fruit hangs down; this kept the beetles out of the flowers and the fruit matured properly.

have you had your soil tested? It could indicate nutrient levels that can be augmented. If you wish to you could consider root barrier such as the products from Deeproot technologies.

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. If you could provide a picture it would help. I know Sabal palmetto fairly well. That's the botanical name for what is commonly called the cabbage palm, and sometimes called the sabal palm. I don't believe there is a sable palm, only misidentified Sabal palmetto . It can be a broad but low growing mound of leaves when it's still quite young, but I ...

If this were my plant, I would take cuttings of any growth that looks even vaguely OK. Your Tradescantia ...? (Sad head-shaking here.) Probably toast. ---Well, I wouldn't give up on it quite yet: wait and see if it shows any signs of life. Post a picture if you can---would help with prognosis. Welcome to the Forum, fellow Buckeye!
