- Hey folks, today we are going to be discussing how to save TISSUE CULTURED AQUARIUM PLANTS! I don't even know how many times I've walked into the local big box pet store, or local fish store/aquascaping store and seen that their invitro plant starts AKA "TISSUE CULTURES" are starting to melt, rot, mold and die- turning white, yellow and uhhgg... black even.
But what can we do to save these plants? Well, let's use some cutting edge science to discuss just this issue! Maybe you can save some big money on your aquascape and fish tank decor budget. Be it high tech or low tech, we've got a path for success with these beautiful organisms!

You're channel is very underrated, seriously u go into so much detail and have so much knowledge! U deserve more subscribers :)
Thank you kindly. It may be that I'm too wordy and too long. But that's how I learn best, so I try and teach that way too. I appreciate your feedback and kind supportive words
Alex you are never too wordy.. besides every word that comes out is either something that teaches us or makes us smile.. keep it up 🙌💚🌿🐟🌿
Coming from a horticultural background, this is extremely interesting stuff!!
Don't bug me, I'm nerding out here!!
Short & sweet , thank you for all your aquatic tutorials !!! This type of content is not easily absorbed by me but because of how you talk ? I Who cares how , you know how to teach. So thank you again for helping me on having 4 very healthy planted tanks .ONE
last thing I want to say is explaining these thoughts was hard but for you I'll hit the arrow and always smash the like ...... ☯️
Man I’m so glad you made a video about this! Im looking at a melted plant cup hoping I can save it and a fistory video is the first one that comes up when I search😂
Wow! U r like plant whisperer! Awesome! 😉 👍🏼
Lol 😆 sometimes... I whisper, they just don't always listen to me
My favorite video so far and you make some great ones. You're ending reminded me of Kurt Cobain during the concert when some hackler yelled, "You suck!",
He answered: "Then why are you here?" lol.
Lol well thanks! I did grow up here in Seattle and we are awfully sarcastic and bitchy lol
Always a favorite!
Thank you.
That's my Master!!! Really good video mate. Just so cool!!!
Glad you enjoyed this little diddy
It blows my mind how much light is blocked the deeper we travel into the water column.
Thanks again for all the useful tidbits, there's a reason I use that notification bell!
Yeah it's pretty interesting, how red and yellow are the first colors to be scattered, and then green and blue are the strongest
Love your channel bro, I always learn something.
Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate you tuning in.
If it's still green, there's still hope
Another great helpful video! Thanks, man!
We only have 1 LFS worthy of going to, so I do go to our 2 petsmarts and 2 petcos looking for good tissue cultures. I've found some great unexpected plants from them! Anyway, a couple months ago I asked an employee if I could get 75% off one of those tiny 4 packs because 3 were DEFFINATELY dead and the kid comes back with it and says the mgr will take 20% off! LMAO!! At $15.99 minus 20% off ($3.20) the manager expected someone to pay $12.79 for ONE teeny tiny Anubius! I couldn't believe it! I HAD to talk to the mgr LOL I pointed out the numbers and he bent.... and offered 25% off was "the best he could do" LOL!! I just chuckled and left while saying $4 is better than nothing, so have fun with nothing.
I'm SURE many many stores across the country and probably the world where the manager would be smart enough to give 75% off or even free! So I'll keep trying....
Lol yeah usually its like some older person.. 60+ and retired but forced to work part time and they shrug off company policy....also young teens that are busy on their phone and arent paying attention or caring at all lol
You look absolutely wonderful my friend ♥️
Thanks for sharing this!! I've tried my hand in a few tissue cultures I have had good results and of course I've had a few that weren't so successful 🤣😭
I always know who I can turn to to get the best advice ever!!
My friend Alex!! I hope you're having a wonderful day 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
The best way to remember Lotus vs Lilly is that l-O-tus has round leaves. Lilly has the arrow shape leaves. Sadly though, they're marketted incorrectly far too often.
Oh fascinating! Thanks, I love that idea
Very interesting, thanks. I'm looking forward to the follow-up video.
Thanks! I set up 3 methods of nursing them to life, but rotola mini and rotala Vietnam were the only ones that I had enough of to do a compare and contrast the effectiveness with
@@Fishtory OK. :) Thanks for the reply.
Wonderful video! Learned a lot! Thanks Alex!
For the algorithm!!
So informative. Mr. Wizard lives on in this video ⚡️
Thanks buddy
My method is to remove manualy what you can and then move in bowl with fresh water and bladder or ramshrom snails. Put bowl under natural light in cold water without heater. Cold water will slow down plant melting. Dont feed bladder snails until they eat all unhealthy parts of the plant. You can also add few Rocks or sand for calcium, both plants and snails like hard water. They maybe called pest snails but they will not touch healthy plant
Yeah some really sensitive buds like rotalla wallichia or pink panther crypt... ive had snails munch a little too far on, but for the vast majority of plants i agree with you. Thanks for sharing your tips and thoughts
Loved it 😃 😍
Thanks Diane!
Greetings
Ello
I really appreciate your content, thank you so much for everything you do. I promise to send you gratitude (money lol) when I'm able. Thanks again - Chloe
I'm just happy you find it useful or interesting :) thanks for tuning in. Have an awesome weekend
Very interesting. I wish I had know before and got some rebated tissue culture cups at my LFS.
It's a hard thing to do, and you want to avoid certain species, but almost all stem plants with 1.5 inches or more of crown tissue in healthy condition, can be revived
Alright dude from the uk
Aluminum
Dustin gets alot of beat up plants from Africa, that's how he nurses them back, he floats them under high light and doses lots of fertilizer.
Totally
Thanks for the info, I'm definitely giving this a try. Looking forward to the follow up video!
Best of luck to you! It is hard even when things are going well, but with stem plants, only one needs to take root and grow for you to be able to fill your tank with it , in time
@@Fishtory so true. I've never tried growing immersed before because ultimately if I want the plants in my aquarium then I want them to be acclimated to that environment. But with sick and dying plants it makes sense to get them healthy before submerging them. Healthy plants always take it better!
@@BettaDaze710 it let's you not worry about the health of shrimp or fish with the fertilizers, or nitrates/ammonia as well as co2...and temp
Thank you for this, I see those bags of tissue cultures all the time and they always look bad. Now I wont be so scared to get one!
Glad to hear it! It's always best to pick the healthier ones, but if you see them marked down or you can make a deal....then you can really find some good deals sometimes
@@Fishtory I had not thought of doing that so thank you! Your videos are awesome and down to earth, love them!
I love this style of video. Its hands on so to speak lol. I'd love to see one like this on creating ferts with dry ones like the nilocg or something similar. Thanks!
Ooooh okay. I'll contact Collin who owns Nilocg. And see if he'd send me enough to demo
@@Fishtory hell yeah! That was quick xD thanks Alex ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
Hit up my local box chain today and tried this. I got a whole shopping bag of dying cultures. Was able to salvage some bacopa and a few s repens. Got some buce that had some mold on it. Washed best I could. Shouldn't be any ill effects from that eh? Everything else was jelly
Nice! No any mold in a tissue culture is living off the agar in the bag, itll die under water and a clear fungi will take over ...which is harmless and snails, shrimp and fish actually seem to enjoy
👍
Eaaayyy 👍
Can you score bucephalandra with a knife like anubias?
Yes, you sure can. You just want to start at a leaf node or rhizome fork/split - because any place on the plant that tissue changes texture and colors, you find those growth cells aka "stem cells"... stem plants don't even need those in order to trim, but rosettes/runners like sword plants and rhizomes plants need either damage or a growth signal via hormones at one of those tissue intersections in order to try putting out more leaves, or more rhizome
Where did you find the Bolbitis tc? Is it B. heudelotii? I've been looking for ages for B. heudelotii tc online but been unable to find any.
ADA and surprising petsmart too
Do you ever use aloe on your stems, it has some mild rooting hormones.
No, i hadnt heard that one! Ooo thanks for the tip...ill look into that
for a chance that will revive, dont know how much plants cost there, but using a fertilizer worth 20$... every day, defeat the purpose?
Hahaa yes probably. But the 2 bottle system lasts all 8 of my scaped tanks for about 2 months ... and the plants don't die if I stop, they just aren't as vibrant or robust.
@@Fishtory now I see the error of my ways :)
First ! You have an amazing Tanks and vast knowledge. But your videos are pain to watch, you are moving the camera as you like, pl. use gimbal for your camera and move slowly or google how o shoot videos. Thanks
Yeah the newer videos usually have a gimbal
Why, the nails ???
It started joking around with my wife... about who could do better nail painting. But then people lost their mind seeing a dude with nailpolish and i thought that was silly...plus it covered my dirty fingernails from working in soil, the garden and tanks nonstop. Also it makes you look twice lol
@@Fishtory You can use gloves.
Better for You, and for plants.
👍
Hi Kay!
