Hello,
ReplyDeleteI've read somewhere Pandan is excellent biofilter for aquaphonics. It does not require much sunlight. Keladi bunting also good for biofilter, but require full sunlight.
Pandan use to grow in swampy wetland, so I guess its true. Fern those edible variety also are good in filtering water.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried bemban? It's a swampy plant, nice flowers too. I dunno whats the other use for this plant. In the old days, ppl make the stripped skins of bemban to tie up their attap. Boys makes bemban pistols / guns and play shoot and war with bemban bullets.
ReplyDeleteBemban is not suitable, since the plants can get quite big. Its can be use for medicinal purpose or some place the make mat out of it.
ReplyDeleteHi Nan, my wife want to plant this pandan leaf here in Dubai but we don't have any fish. Is it do-able?
ReplyDeleteThis is Hussein from Emirates.....
In Dubai, you can grow Pandan in the shade on normal top soil, no Aquaponics necessary. In this situation you need fertilizer. On Aquaponics if no fish, there is a way, to get ammonia. The practitioner call it "Peeponics"
