Hi I ma in the uK so cant really buy plants from there. A like and sub will have to be enough for now. Thanks for the tips.

For those who like to reduce labor or who can’t trust themselves to remember to mist multiple times per day, a lot can be done here in terms of draining excessive fluids into a sump and then spraying automatically with a reptile misting system like Mist King. You’ll never be able to spray “too much” and then the real work becomes periodically changing the sump water with fresh nutrient water (but don’t top off with nutrient water… since only water is evaporating, not nutrient)

Beautiful, I really love those containers!

Wow, I love this option! Thanks for sharing with all of us. 😊

Wow, huge thanks to you and the YT algorithm! I just purchased some java moss in hopes to grow it and your video got recommended out of the blue without me ever searching the topic! Gonna try this for sure!

wowww... straight to the point and thanks for sharing this!

I really love how you show your methods on cultivating these aquatic plants even though you sell them as well. Love how open you are and I am currently setting up a 40 gallon planted tank and I will definitely be a future customer once I'm ready for plants. Keep up the great work!

As a first time planter, nearly glued my fingers to a rock along with my Java Moss....thankfully its a forgiving moss, and is beginning to spread, slowly, No CO2......what a beautiful addition to any aquarium, does well with light or low light. This will be moss I use in future projects....the idea of it overtaking all of the hardscape is exciting.

Thanks. Fantastic method.

Great before & 1 month comparison. Well done video

It would be cool to see how you harvest the moss out of the trays once it is ready

@seangere9698

Yeah the best way is to just start in a corner with a spakle knife, the kind used to do drywall or patch holes in drywall, and slowly scrape it up while folding it back over itself and roll it up softly. Then once done unroll it on an appropriate sized cutting board then cut it to size and the shape you need to attach it to something or to package it up for sale. When done use any of the leftover bits to reseed the next propagation box for the next grow cycle.

It’s easy to harvest. It pulls off the trays easily and can be portioned out or used in your tank. A quick rinse in fresh water is a good idea to remove algae and any ferts or debris that may be in the moss. 🌱

I like the idea of growing my own aquarium plants, great video. I'm sad that you don't ship to Alaska.

I am going to give you an idea for the loss of humidity on your dome lids. There is a silicone tape, made by loktite (sp?) you can find in box stores or hardware stores... I use this product for many things in my fishroom, as it is very universal and has a flexing but not breaking tendency. I would take a strip of this tape and run it along the top of the black trays, slightly stretching it as i run it along the edge, (the slight stretching gives it a bit more adhesion) all four edges and i think the dome will sit on that tray with a bit more of a seal between the dome top and tray... worth a try....cheers, nice vids...

Great job!

Love the video! Do you ever have difficulty converting the moss to an aquarium? E.g do you have a heap of die off?

Great video Will. I've been growing Java Moss since April of this year using some of your past videos and have had a fairly decent growth rate. However, after watching this particular video I'm going to be making some adjustments and suspect I'll have some explosive growth. Thanks again for all your videos.

Thank you, Rich! I’m glad you enjoyed this one. If I was to boil it down to the three most important parts I would say lots of drainage, high humidity, and maxigro ferts. I’m sure other ferts would work too but I can attest to maxigro. I’ve found those components to be the key with moss. Good luck with your grow and keep me updated 😃 🌱

You should have minimal die back with Java moss. Unlike most aquatic plants and even Mosses that experience die off or melting Java Moss doesn't fallow this rule much. I have grown it in water, out of water, and in half submerged A.K,A in waterfalls and in places where the moss starts growing in water but ends up growing to the point as to where part of it is now out of the water. I have moved some that grew out of the water and moved it into tanks filled with water and the other way around and have seen little to no die off or melting. same goes for the ones that are half and half. I've moved some to full submersion and to full land and have seen little to no die off or melting. I would be more worried about it being eaten then die off and or melting.

Since you are using this fertilizer maxigro for aquatic plants for propagate. Is the plant doesn't affect the fish or would die or wash the plants first?

How does the moss take to being reimersed? Is there a lot of die off?

@AquariumPlantLab

Жыл бұрын

All plants have to convert, regardless of being grown in or out of water, this is because your environment is different than my environment (or your friends, etc.). This applies to all factors, not just emersed/submersed, factors such as temperature, lighting, fertilizers, water chemistry, co2, etc. Any differences in environment means a plant needs to convert physiologically. With all of that said, most aquarium plants, moss included, should be able to convert well provided you have a reasonable setup to grow plants 👍

When the moss is grown out could I then take just the tray its growing on and put it in a bare bottom tank? or would it just float of of the tray?

@AquariumPlantLab

When transplanting aquarium plants there is always some melt regardless of whether it was grown above or below water simply due to changes in water parameters, lighting, temperature, etc. Melt should never be extreme and definitely not be like starting over. All of the individual strands of moss will quickly start producing new growth. The old growth will last for quite awhile and all the new growth will be well worth it. Almost all aquarium plants, moss included, are grown emersed at large farms. 👍

I haven’t used that fertilizer so I can’t really comment on how well it would work. Do not use hydroponic fertilizers directly in your aquarium, however, growing moss this way then using that moss in your aquarium shouldn’t pose a risk to your fish. If you’re concerned about it you can give the moss a quick rinse/soak in fresh water before adding to your aquarium. 👍
