New Product Developments
Mushroom-head Fasteners: These hardware accessories maintain a much stronger union than hook & loop and, significantly, each piece can mate with any other piece.
All of the Large Hanging Planters and Small Hanging Planters now have a single mushroom-head fastener affixed near the top rim of the planter cup. In order to faciliate a range of planting configurations the Nano Trellis Rafts and Trellis Rafts each of these have two mushroom-head fasteners affixed at random to two section tips. Plastics are notoriously difficult to bond with adhesives, but we found a strong medical-grade glue, aquarium-safe and durable in wet conditions, for joining the fasteners to the rafts and planters pieces.
Pot Labels: There are hundreds of species and varities of emergent aquatic plants that can grow in a planted riparium. Unless kept with plant specimens, identification data can be easily lost. This hazard is especially important to keep in mind when growing the emersed forms of aquarium plants, which are often quite different from the immersed forms. We found a plastic pot label that fits perfectly in the hanging planter cups.
The label is slid into the space between the inside rear surface of the planter cup and the planter screen. The very top of the lable is printed with black ink so that it is visually obscured against the dark aquarium background.
The blank back surface of the label has plenty of room for plant variety information, which can be written down with pencil or fine-point permanent marker.
