So, I've never tried my hand at cultivating cobra lilies, and the responses I've received about their care have ranged from "they're very difficult" to "not the big deal you'd be lead to believe they are". I'm guessing that variability lies in a persons knack for growing in general, meaning if you're good at plants, they aren't all that hard. Anyhow, I've read that water movement at the roots is very important, so I have come up with the following method and wanted some input before I kill anything. My idea involves a reservoir with a small fountain pump at the bottom which will force water up, into a tray on which the plants will sit. Water will enter the tray at one side, flow Dow the entire length of the tray, and drain back into the reservoir via a hole at the opposite end. My estimation is that this should provide adequate movement and dampness for my plants. What do you think? Is the idea hare brained? Is it even necessary to build something that elaborate? I'm interested in mimicking their natural habitat as closely as possible, so I'm thinking this is, at least, not a bad idea. thanks in advance for any insight...
