💜💜
Now that we've covered pests, let's talk about how to acclimate new plants to your home: czcams.com/video/fzMH4Zx7L1Q/video.html
i love my red tiger lotus, i was a complete noob when i first got it and it grew super quick. When i first tried plants they all died immediately but i wanted to give it another go because of the benifits and how amazing live plants look. i also have a question if anyone can answer me? about halfway up the plant there seems to be a point where new roots have grown and they are essentially floating in the water. I didn’t know it was even possible for them to grow there and they certainly look cool but i was super confused
I’ve never heard of that either! Maybe try the PlantedTank subreddit?
@@Plantrums yea i will definitely ask there! thank you!
@ameliaskyye let me know if you ever get an answer. I’m curious to know!
@@Plantrums i did get someone explain that nymphaea will sometimes produce these adventurous plantlets as a form of asexual reproduction! So it starts forming new roots and leaves from the growth point and you can snip and re plant it (when it’s bigger is better). It was definitely in a weird place so i was super confused on why i just had floating roots 💀 but its just trying to asexually reproduce
Whoa! That's fascinating. Thanks for coming back to update me, I appreciate it. 💜
This video is very misleading to beginner houseplant growers. First off, orchids are not "low light" plants. Even the "low light" varieties, such as moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) and slipper orchids (mostly Paphiopedilum and Phragmipedium), generally need a minimum of 1,000 foot candles to bloom, or the equivalent of bright shade to dappled sunlight. Second, Philodendron plowmanii will need much more light than the video suggests to grow large foliage. In truly dark environments, just bright enough to "read a book," they do not grow nearly as well as tried and true aroids such as Philodendron hederaceum and Epipremnum aureum. Dracaenas (snake plants and dragon trees) and Zamioculcas zamiifolia (zz plants) grow the best in dark spaces. And third, the philodendron heights are way off. Plowmanii does not reach a height of "8 feet" even in the wild. Their stem grows horizontally along the forest floor. Their foliage height, if grown well, usually will max out around 3-4 feet in a household. 69686 grows vertically up trees and, even in lower light, can grow much taller than "2 feet" if given a support stake or moss pole. I appreciate the origin info and fun facts though.
I appreciate the well thought out comment. I’d like to rebut a few of your criticisms, though, specifically regarding the “grow large foliage” and “do not grow nearly as well.” In the first and last segments of this video I emphasized that there is a difference between surviving low light and thriving. I did not suggest that low light is the best option for any of these and I hoped that my bookends of emphasizing that would be clear. Regarding your orchid feedback, I appreciate it. As I mentioned, my source for those being able to live (again, not thrive) is via the NYBG and I trust their knowledge. In addition, I used anecdotal evidence from people growing them via Reddit (with screenshots), though I cant remember off the top of my head if any anecdotes were orchids; I’d have to check the video. I also did reiterate in the last segment, as you say, that any flowering plant mentioned most likely will not bloom in low light. But I want to specifically say once more that I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful response as I understand you want anyone watching to realize the reality of low lights for plants. Thanks for watching!
Just want to add my sources, as well, for the growth heights for transparency. Plowmanii- www.thespruce.com/philodendron-plowmanii-care-guide-8413986 www.gardenia.net/plant/philodendron-plowmanii#:~:text=Size%3A%20In%20its%20natural%20environment,on%20the%20growing%20conditions%20provided.
I’ve kept a blue oil fern alive and I can’t keep ferns alive for 💩. But not until I built a grow tent for my plants. I don’t water enough to keep ferns happy. Indoor grow tent or those covers for wire racks are came changers!
Oh I love that, so much cheaper than an IKEA “greenhouse” (okay they’re not expensive but I don’t have one near me so would need to get them shipped). PS- if you end up at a thrift store pick up an aquarium. That’s become my version of an indoor grow tent.
@@Plantrums ooo good idea!! We don’t have an ikea either. I’m in WV and there aren’t any around. Closest one is 2 hours away. But I can justify spending all that money and it hardly holds much. lol maybe a lot of plants to some but probably not to us lol Love your videos! Def gained a subscriber!
I'm in upstate NY and I bet you and I share the closest IKEA (Pittsburgh). Isn't that weird? Anyhow, glad you're here! 💜
Thank you for this great video! I recently purchased a tiger lotus bulb from Aquarium Co-Op and was STUNNED at its beauty! Not only did it have long roots already but so many leaves with baby leaves poking up 🥰🥰. A few of the leaves melted after I placed the roots in my substrate that I removed but the baby’s grew and new shoots are popping up! My Pygmy cories and nerite snail love it
That is awesome! Is it red or green and splotchy (I say that with love, one of mine is splotchy)
such a classical plant
Thank you for doing a practical experiment. It saved me a bit of time and money -- I was actually ready to buy a few of these tiger lotuses, despite thinking they'd not be very attractive in my tanks, now I might hold off and find other methods that are hopefully more effective.
Glad it was helpful! I’d still recommend tiger lotuses for their other benefits especially if you have shrimp and/or snails. My other video goes into that more if you’re curious
Thanks to @beaglemanzzz and @curvingfyre6810 for the idea for this video! Here's the original video on the red tiger lotus: czcams.com/video/SJlUJP8AQ_s/video.html
Part 2 - Let's see if this algae control rumor really works: czcams.com/video/boNtHhuPoMA/video.html
I have this same Calathea plant. My plant looks amazing. With East sun and humidifier plus rain water. My plant looks beautiful.
That is awesome!
I watched this at 6 in the morning. I like your chill voice. But yeah I’m getting a drama llama, can’t wait to be the best helicopter plant parent 🤞🏾
helicopter the shit out of it, my friend! 🪴
Question, how come some Rosy plants have a sage green color to it?
Great question! I’m not a botanist but I think it’s genetics and how much sun they get. If you mean like the Medallion which is mostly green but still considered a roseopicta I can’t say for certain but it most likely shares enough commonality with the Dottie and Rose Calatheas that they just grouped them together
Hoya green light also goes by the name Hoya carnosa "krimson princess"
Oh that IS a fun fact. Thanks!
I bought the Hoya green light and that Calathea Medallion from Home Depot (a few months ago) They are doing very well and I think they are so beautiful.
That’s awesome! My medallion is a bit of a drama llama but happy to say it’s still doing well. Our plant cousins seem to be troopers 😄
@@Plantrumsoh same. A bit of crispy tips but it has settled down.
Up next - let's talk Calathea Roseopicta czcams.com/video/2Ss9a1m6exU/video.html
Nymph-hey-yah zen-carry
thanks!
Should it be removed from the small pot that they come in before planting in the aquarium?
I think that’s probably best. In my head, removing the pot lets them spread their roots out.
So we moved to upstate NY from Brooklyn and one of the biggest downsides is the lack of an IKEA (unless I want to go to Toronto which...that's a whole thing). Consequently, when I see something IKEA-related at the thrift stores that's for plants (intentionally or not), I jump on it.
Great vid
Next up, building a double-decker plant quarantine box - czcams.com/video/RKPNExyCYLg/video.html
So what do you think? Do I have 2 Standard White Fusion Calatheas, 2 Stellas, or one of each?
Bettie (my cat) gave my work a B+...she's very judgemental.
Hey girl heyyyyyyy! God damn AMAZING freaking haul holay shit ❤
This is my favorite comment ever
hey!! new watcher here :) i just wanted to lyk that i think you switched your A. cuprea and A. “Dragon Scale”!! i’m pretty sure the first plant you opened was the cuprea, and the second alocasia you opened was your dragon scale <3 i like your content!!
the reason i think this is because cupreas have a smooth, shiny texture to their leaves, whereas silver dragons/dragon scales have more of a rough, bumpy texture
Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it!
That’s a Philo. White Wizard
But seriously, does ANYONE know why these plant sellers are all based in Merritt Island, FL?
Working on the acclimation video next but in the mean time, let's talk about my favorite grow lights (and why they're not the lights you might think to buy) czcams.com/video/KA7kW7P3lbY/video.html
I’m watching this video on how to keep it alive lol It has crispy edges as well as some yellow leaves .-.
6:43 is meant for you then! Rooting for you (uh, no pun intended lol)
Wow great tips - very comprehensive, and it's refreshing hearing about how to do this from a plant expert! I've been having great luck with a Tradescantia zebrina in an indoor mini-pond, as well as a Murdannia loriformis which is definitely thriving & sending up a flower shoot after just a couple weeks, to my surprise. It should be noted that I am not a plant expert though haha. Great advice about lighting and floaters. Thanks!
Thanks so much 💜 Oh I JUST got an Alocasia zebrina; I didn’t know there were tradescantias, too!
Thx I love how deep u went with the info this video is how it's done thx
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Wanna see my current fully-aquatic plant collection? It's over here - czcams.com/video/81GEFUigCws/video.html
Sangat sedih ketika tanaman yang kita cintai mati, dan itulah yang membuat kita menyesal.
Absolutely agree. It’s so sad to see something we love go away because of our negligence or ignorance
One clarification - the yellow "supple" stems most likely will never fully come back and will probably need to be pruned eventually. The reason I suggest keeping them around now is it MAY help reduce the amount of shock/trauma the plant is facing since there are still nutrients and resources in the slightly-squishy stems.
Rewind to last year when my White Fusion Calathea had happier times - czcams.com/video/_9OjRFFl7e0/video.html
It doesn't need CO2 if you let a couple of leaves become emergent, then the surface leaves will be able to supply CO2 to the rest of the plant. The emergent leaves block excess light and slow algae growth on the substrate(not good for carpets that require high light). The flower blooms once a year in early summer when the temperature is in low to mid 20s. The flower opens up at night after the lights are off and will last about 4 days. It can self pollinate and you'll get a whole bunch of poppy sized seeds from the flower as it wilts and grow into a seed cluster. It will not flower without emergent leaves. After growing emergent leaves it starts growing a different kind of stem. The stems are a lot sturdier to support the larger and and more robust emergent leaves. The seeds can be sprouted in water and will grow on anything, had mine growing in a large patch on soft drift wood. I use it as a center piece instead of background as it really does look spectacular once it takes off. Goes well with crypts as carpet(low light).
Thanks for the details! Sounds like yours is super happy 💜
Thanks for the tips, learned a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Aka the only good floating plant lol. I'm curious about the anti algae chemical. Is there a source on that? Do we know what algae types it effects? Diatoms, cyano, red, green, filamentous, colonial, etc?
I have one in a new tank and out of the gate it has been producing the most growth, and amidst a filamentous brown algae outbreak I've been dealing with it's the only plant with almost no algae on the leaves so it sounds plausible that it may produce a chemical to at least protect itself from algae.
Hi! Here's where I found that detail: aquariumbreeder.com/red-tiger-lotus-care-guide-planting-growing-and-propagation/ Like I said in the video, I can't vouch for it either way other than anecdotal experience that's similar to @beaglemanzzz. Still, it's an interesting little internet rumor!
Woooow. Finally I have found so good info. Thanx❤ ...o, and 😘of course
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks great video!I have grown mine from bulb ,low tect 15 gallon and its doing great and looks amazing !My nano fish and betta love it! Strange to mention but its a young tank heavily planted and I have minimal algae so maybe its true that helps?
Hmm…Could be!
I love discovering new plants for my planted tanks! This is a great deep dive, do you have online place you recommend to buy? I love Buce Plants, but they are often out of stock.
I do! I got mine on Etsy from this seller: tidd.ly/3vqIhuA
Ps - what’s your favorite plant for your tank? I’m looking for more ideas (for videos…and my own hoard 🤪)
@@Plantrums It's so hard to choose! One of my favorites is actually a floating plant, the water lettuce. It's so pretty and the tendrils for the roots are just perfect for neocaridinas. I recently purchased a pink flamingo crypt for my 5.5 tall and it's looking a little dull at the moment, but I'll be installing a CO2 injector soon, so I'm looking forward to those colors perking up!
Pink flamingo crypt?! OMG
Next up - let's talk about my OTHER favorite aquatic plant, the Madagascar Lace: czcams.com/video/vYMkyGQ94c8/video.html
Great video about the lotus plant 🌱
Thanks, Jessica! Any plants you think I should cover next?
I have a lace plant. I've had it for almost 4 years. It got one root tab at the beginning than about 12 to 18 months after i put it in my 29... all my fish died in a 48 hour period out of the blue. I was devastated... shut the lights, filtration off and walked away from the tank. That thing is gangster! Its still alive and since I've decided to rescape and restart the tank.. its bouncing back nicely.
Oh my goodness what a story! I’m so sorry that happened. What do you think caused all of the fish to die?
@TheBeigeHouse I think they got columnaris. While it can be just a chronic infection with a high survival rate... there are times when it can lead to a 90% mortality rate. I had treated them the month earlier for what I thought was a fungal infection, I bet that was the beginning of the columnaris infection looking back at it. As it is commonly mistaken for fungal due to how it presents.
