How to Propagate Anubias!!! | Emersed Grow Hydroponic System

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video you will finally get to see my emersed Anubias grow out tank. This setup utilizes a few years of knowledge from trial and error along with inspiration from traditional hydroponic concepts. If you are interested in growing lots of Anubias then this is the video for you. Anubias is an incredible plant. Growing and caring for Anubias is just about as easy as it gets.

For the water you use to water the plants, does it have to be like distilled or anything special, or do you just use tap water? 2. When adding the nutrients to the water, is there any specific ratio that you use that works well for you? These are just a few questions I had after watching the video, and if I do try this out myself, I might have a few later on.

    You know I actually never had an issue with mold in that setup nor have I in my more recent soil free setups. Mold is much less of an issue with inert substrate as it is with organic substrate (like soil). I have had mold in soil setups but I typically also have springtails, isopods, and other small organisms that like to eat the mold in such setups. In soil based setups the key is to get the soil moisture content wet enough for the plants but not so wet to cause too much mold.

    There is a difference between roots and rhizome. The rhizome is the part that leaves and roots come out of. Don’t bury that part. The roots on the other hand can be planted into the substrate and in my experience should be in substrate for best growth. 👍

    Hey, Will. It's very interesting to experiment with emersed growing, especially with anubias!!! I have some questions for you, though, if you don't mind... 1- Is it really true that anubias (and any other aquatic plant really) grow much faster when emersed? If so, how much faster? 2- How long did it take for you to have double the amount of anubias you have there? 1 month? 2 months? 3- Why do you say we need to spray the leaves with fertilizer when you also have fertilizer on the substrate? And why do you need to add liquid fertilizer also when you have the soil, which is already rich in nutrients? 4- So, you keep up the humidity levels by adding water until it almost touches the top of the substrate and then syphon it out, right? Keeping the lid on helps to keep the humidity in. Do you have to do anything else to the the humidity levels? Thanks so much for the info. Subscribed to the channel. It's really interesting.

  • @AquariumPlantLab

    all great questions! most aquarium plants are actually marginal plants, they tend to grow WAY faster out of water. Anubias is somewhat of an exception, it does grow faster but not crazy fast. mainly it just grows healthier. I would say this setup doubles Anubias every 1.5 months or so if sprayed consistently. you don’t have to spray the plants with nutrients, but you will get slightly faster/healthier growth that way. it’s just another way to deliver nutrients to the plant! the substrate I’m using is inert so I have to use liquid fertilizer. if you were using nutrient rich substrate (such as soil) then you wouldn’t need to use liquid ferts. keeping the humidity up is easy with this setup. use a lid, make sure there is some water at the bottom. spray 1-2 times a day and you will keep the humidity very high! that’s it! good luck!
