Bryonetter comments on moss culture have been interesting and
useful! I'm culturing Marchantia inflexa for greenhouse experiments
(with Nicholas McLetchie at University of Kentucky) and was
wondering if those of you also culturing liverworts have any
suggestions about how to control algae in greenhouse pots??

Additionally, has anyone else noticed (with respect to Rod
Seppelt's comment) environmental variables that might influence
whether or not liverworts express sex? We are finding that shade
definitely influences whether individuals will produce only gemmae
or both gemma and sporophytes.
