Nice one Neil.. I'll be waiting for updates on this thread..
From long time was eager to know how things happen in a farm (how aquatic plants are cultivated)..

excited to see whats comig

Although I don't know "How to cultivate plants in farms" but know "How to grow plants in Aquariums". Some keys for beginners what have learnt from my experience.

1. Keep an outside tub, aquariums etc. to grow excess plants. Here anybody can perform his/her experiments.
2. Always keep an eye on temperature. It is most crucial.
3. Read, Read and Read before buying any plant. Talk to experienced growers.
4. Try to maintain atleast minimum requirements for the plant.
5. Keep your water clean. Dirt in water always a slow death for aquatic plants.
6. Maintain flow in aquarium.
7. Remove algae.

All of the above mentioned facts are based on my experience. Some can be negative according to experience of others and books, websites.
