Bringing the Hobby back to the Hobbyist! and Setting the Standard for the Industry! BaylEEsFishEEs The 4 E's Educate while Entertaining and make it Easy to ENJOY   They call me PAPA Pick A Plant Auctions I am probably best known for putting together "custom" packages within your budget or package auctions of "my choice".  I still want to be known for that, but I would like to put the choice and creation in your hands.  The idea is very simple. I am going to concentrate on groups of similar types of plants.  Tell you a little bit about each one in that group and let YOU DECIDE which ones you would like in YOUR PACKAGE! NOT ONLY THAT I am going to offer you the best quality plants at the best BOTTOM DOLLAR. So check out my all my PAPA auctions and pick and choose as many as you like and take advantage of mixing and matching with one or multiple PAPA auctions. Potted Plants At the Nursery Let's talk about potted plants for a moment.  Growers and nurseries use small 2" pots typically made out of plastic to grow many plants with the help of a spongy material known as rock wool.  This method allows them to deliver nutrients more efficiently through the water by methods known as hydroponics.  This method allows them to grow them fast enough to keep up with the demand and potted plants tend to have better root development which helps them establish faster in your tanks. Because of this method, many plants are grown immersed which means that only the roots are under water.  This also allows many plants to grow faster and stronger as well as having easier access to needed light and CO2.  This also helps tremendously in terms of shipping. Because these plants are grown immersed as a majority of them do in nature, we the hobbyist have to "train" them to live submerged or under water.  It is typical for new plants to go through changes while being trained or acclimating.  Leaves that are thick, hardy and able to stand up on their own may slowly die off while soft, limp leaves form.  Leaves may narrow and become needles, they may crinkle or become wavy, and some will change their shape completely as if to be two different types of plants.  All of these changes are normal and should be expected and given time to convert before you give up and pitch them in the trash.   In Your Aquarium Although it is not recommended, many hobbyists that have bare bottom tanks and realize the advantages of live plants in their breeding and raising, use potted plants to their advantage.  At first, the rock wool could still have essential nutrients inside from the growers, but over time it will become inert.  However it is still possible for nutrients in the tank to be absorbed through the mesh pot.  This allows the pots to be simply "tossed" into the tanks.  Eventually, the plastic pots will stunt the growth by restricting the roots, especially plants like swords with secondary roots.  But there still is a solution for plants in a bare bottom tank.  The solution is clay pots.  By using clay pots, you now have the ability of adding substrate and more room for the roots, while still having the ability to remove the pot when cleaning or catching fish. To plant potted plants, other than plants like anubias, it is a simple process.  Remove the plastic mesh pot and gently open the rock wool and remove all of it or what willingly comes off without damaging the plant.  If roots are entwined in the rock wool, just leave it alone.  In some plants, especially if you just received them, cutting off some of the roots will encourage new growth.  Most roots are damaged or "dead" when in shipping anyway and the faster new roots grow the faster the plant will recover. It is a good idea to space your new plants out so the leaves of one plant are not shading the leaves of another.  Use your finger to make a hole and guide your new plant in and then cover the roots with substrate and you are done. Again, not all plants go through "morphing" when acclimating, but give them a chance to grow back before you throw in the towel.   How About EASY and LOW LIGHT Anubias? Key points on Anubias Low Light, Easy and Slow Growing Have been known to survive with Cichlids Can tolerate high temps such as Discus tanks and even unheated tanks. Do best tied to driftwood or rocks, but can be planted or floated Possibly the one plant that can go in the most set-ups Anubias love IRON so yellow leaves means give em a shot of iron (excludes new leaves as they tend to be lighter) If you would like to read more on Anubias please visit my website and click on plants, otherwise we may never get to what is for sale. Enough TALK Let's DEAL This auction is for Potted Anubias.  You pick 'em, I ship 'em. The deal is simple.  I am going to show you the anubias I commonly deal with and tell you a little about each one. Then it's your turn to decide which ones you would like to try.  You may order just one or as many as you want.  You may order all of the same or mix and match.  It is TOTALLY UP TO YOU. Ok, so what's the price? How about $4 a pot plus shipping?  That sounds good to me how about you? Ok so how much is shipping? Well, I have thought long and hard about this and I think everyone knows by now that I care about crap like that.  The cheapest I can ship is about $5 so how does that sound? Ok so if you buy one plant for $4 and add $5 for shipping, then that means you just spent $9 for a plant.  Well, I have to be honest with you here.  I think that's crap.  $9 for one plant ins't a deal unless it is simply your only option. So what if I told you that you could buy up to 10 pots and still only pay $5 shipping?  NOW WE ARE TALKING DEALS HERE!! So $4 a pot for as many as you want plus shipping as follows 1-10 pots $4 each add $5 shipping 11-19 pots $4 each add $10 shipping 20-36 pots *$3.50 each add $14 shipping 37+ pots *$3.00 each email for quote *Price good for Anubias ONLY and cannot mix with other PAPA auctions unless to save on shipping ONLY.  You must buy at least 20 anubias pots to receive the discounted price but you may still add up to 16 other plants and still only pay $14 shipping. That's the best bottom line deal I can offer you folks. So let's look at your choices Anubias  Barteri These pots usually ship out around 4-6" tall with 4-6 leaves that are round in shape.  Barteri will grow to an average height of 12" with large round leaves as big as 4". Normally in stock but occasionally out. Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Coffeefolia Considered more of a foreground plant, coffeefolia stays smaller as is know by it's wrinkled leaves.  This pot will usually ship off around 2-4" tall with 3-5 leaves.  Coffeefolia may grow as tall as 6" but typically stay smaller with oval leaves around 2". Out of stock more than in so you may want to ask. currently out of stock till mid Sept Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Congensis Congensis is a taller variety and a good substitution for swords in low light conditions.  These will usually ship out at 8-12" tall with 4-6 leaves.  The leaves are much longer than wide and have long stalks.  Congensis can grow over 18" tall and have leaves 5-6" long and 2-3" wide. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Hastifolia Hastifolia is another taller variety and a common anubias used in a palludarium.  These plants usually ship out around 8-12" tall with 4-6 leaves.  The leaves of the hastifolia are more unique and more predominant the larger they get, looking like a strange arrowhead.  A full grown hastifolia can be a massive plant growing 24" and having leaves larger than an adult hand. Almost ALWAYS in stock. Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Lanceolata This is another great substitution for a sword plant in a low light tank.  Lanceolata is very similar to congensis with slightly narrower leaves.  They usually ship out at 8-12" with 4-6 leaves and can grow rather tall over 18" with leaves that look like spear heads. So far this one has stayed available. Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Minima We started bringing minima in about 2-3 years ago and it became a strongly desired plant.  The name may fool you because there is nothing minimum at all about it.  These usually ship out around 6-10" with 4-6 leaves and can grow about the same height as barteri at 12" or a little higher because of the long slender leaves that get over 6" long but only around 1" wide.  Interesting to say the least. Almost ALWAYS in stock Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Nana Little ole Nana is what we call the Lovely's Grandmother and anubias nana is like a smaller version of barteri.  Nana is another foreground anubias that ships out around 3-5" tall with 3-5 round leaves.  This one may try to stretch over 6" but usually stays smaller with 2" round leaves. Almost ALWAYS in stock Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 Anubias Nana Narrow This little plant came out blazing a few years back and soon became my favorite.  I think I would have named it something totally different because narrow is misleading.  These plants ship out around 4-6" tall with 6-15 leaves.....CRAZY LEAVES.  The leaves are slightly smaller than regular nana but still stay fairly round, they just seem to pack them in.  BUT unfortunately as of late, they do vary.  They are still worth trying! Almost ALWAYS in stock Light:  Low - Shade Temp:  72-82 F (22-28 C) pH: 6-8 HIT OR MISS Anubias Gracilis Anubias Frazeri Anubias Nana Petite The top two are ones that have been available on occasion but not enough to offer then here. The Nana Petite so far is only a rumor, kind of like a few other plants I won't mention.  However I anticipate and upcharge on petites as they may be the smallest anubias but they some how cost twice as much! The plants listed on the left are probably not available but it only takes and email to find out if you would really like them. bayleespapa@aol.com Please also note that this auction may not reflect current stock issues.  If any are not available, we will try to note it.  Please only email about stock on the hit or miss ones.  Otherwise please feel free to place your bid and email your choices with payment.  If there is a problem you will be notified to make another selection.
