I've been in this hobby for over 4 decades and never really done plants. Thanks to you and a few others I have a whole new side of the hobby to explore. Thanks!
This is one of my favorite plants. I actually like all Hygrophila species, they're pretty much weeds, grow emerged,submerged, planted, floating and glued and grow super quickly. What more can you ask for from a plant?!?!
I really liked this video. You are sharing good information and the video was very calm and peaceful.
I actually really enjoyed this short and simple video, had a real Bob Ross feel to it with mellow music in the background, please make more like it
I certainly will!
Bob Ross fellings 😄👍
Wow you read my mind lol I just ordered a tropica tissue culture of hygrophila pinnatifida from Amazon yesterday
I've never really had a planted tank. My tanks aren't really decorated other than rocks and substrate (I'm more about the fish than the tank😂). After seeing this thank come together I'm defiantly adding live plants to my project list!
Thanks for the info!
Really soothing video, also informative. Thanks.
Never had luck with the Pinnatifida planted. Tried 3 times. They melted.
I have since just attached it to rocks or woods and it's now thriving.
Well,Amano has it 5' tall in his Lisbon masterpiece in his hydro soils. Fueled by earth warming giant Co2 bottles. But,he also has it growing like Bonsai fir tree's on his Tokyo rocks in that public mall aquarium. I might try both minus the Co2.
@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx Going to Lisbon this year to check out that aquarium :)
I just bought a bunch of this a couple of days ago and CZcams suggested this video. I swear they are always watching me but loved the video as always. I am from the future..lol. Thanks for the insight!
Thanks for the advice. I will be using a shared sump once I get my fish house built. I'll be using these principles for the over flow on the water tank I'll be using at the top.
was really diggin the background jams on this one!
Great video, awsome calm music!
Love these kind of videos
One of those plants that I have always liked the looks of, and tell myself I am going to try. But I haven't yet
Sweeeet...brought home a couple of these from AE and excited to work with it. My 55 is a blank canvas so I have all the ideas.
Beautiful scape!
Great information!
Very nice tutorial video about this planet the music and the speech 😊👍🏻
I picked up some because of your recent vids. I love it.
Totally love that Pinnatifida!
it's a very prehistoric looking plant, very beautiful
Killer tank, Joel!
Happy little plants. 😊
Awesome, I'll have to try it out in one of my 29's
These are my most favorite of all, on number 1 for me, followed by Anubias nana and Bucephelandra Wavy
I ve just bought yesterday two small buckets of pinnatifida))
Good vibes...a chillaxe, peaceful video. I really enjoyed it. I like the way pinnatifida looks, it's a new-to-me-plant, liked learning about it and seeing the process from potted to planted.
With co2 it thrives but without it melts on me Everytime, I have always had terrible luck with this plant !?
I love your plant information videos! The music in this one I wasn't sure about, it almost parodies classic instructional videos. If that's what you were going for, comedic value achieved! I do like your more traditional music, that's basically just a semi-fast beat, but honestly I'm sure I only notice because I've got headphones on. It creates a slower, more relaxed vibe, rather than exciting..
The information itself was really great, and I always enjoy seeing the aquascaping with your mad tweezle twazzle skills. You could do a part two, on the trimmings and replanting. I don't have this plant but I really like the look of it. My plants are struggling and the only thing I can think of is lack of CO2. I don't have any dollars for a system right now, but eventually i want one, so I can have a larger variety of plants!
Anywho, I'm rambling, sorry about that. Just really enjoy your content!
Thanks savanna! I kinda went chill on this video. I'm sure I'll pick stranger sounds in the future lol!
You remind me of an aquascaping Bob Ross 🤣
Wow, those Erios are amazing. Are you using RO water or just tap. What water parameters?
I do enjoy the aesthetics of this plant so I’ll give it another go. 🤙
I think the excel I was dosing for BBA might be responsible for it melting away to nothing.
You could be right on with that! Only chance we got is to keep on working!
Hi there, great video, loved your plant selection. can you please tell me the name of the grass you took out to place the new ones?🇦🇺❤️ new sub from Australia
Love the hygro
Nice cheers aquarium friends
I used to like Hygrophilia Polysperma but unfortunately now they're on the noxious water weed list .I can see the point in places like the south where it can spread and become a problem but where I live you it's too cold for it to thrive past summer .Yet other plants like Rotala Indica which grows fast and even under cooler conditions is still available along with others like Wisteria and so many others which I've been able to grow outdoors in my pond into late Fall .One of the worst offenders was Hydrocotyle leucocephala which totally took over the tank and then the pond when I transferred the plants thinking that they wouldn't survive past the summer .To my surprise they managed to survive the winter and then started growing once springtime came, although not in great numbers . Apparently some critters took a liking to them - the local deer population .
Awhile ago I asked someone at the local fish store where they have all sorts of advanced planted tanks and sell co2 systems etc ,where could I find Hygro Polysperma and they had a blank look on their faces .
The only person who knew what I was talking about was the owner who used to sell the plant when it was legal still . He explained that it became illegal years ago and agreed that it was ridiculous that it was banned from northern states where its too cold for it to thrive year round. I hadn't kept this plant in many years so I wasn't aware of the legal status . It's too bad because it was inexpensive,an excellent plant for use as a background filler and easy to manage.
Just got me some of that today
Thanks Joel..actually bought this from the aquatic experience today. Every time I saw you, you were talking to someone.
What did you think of the serene light setup?
Awe man! You should have said hi!
I got my Pinnatifida from the Coop, doing great. I love the different texture it adds, next to anubias, java fern, etc. larger leaf plants.
Is it best to wait a while to trim and propagate? How low could I keep it?
Keep it low low low low low!
@@CorvusOscen# of inches would mk more sense to us, please! (Low low low cn hv different meanings to diff ppl. To me, 1-2" ... like grass. Is tht possible?) Thx!
i'm planning to plant this on my lava sand substrate with TL LED 12W light... it will be fine?
nice plant
'If you've never heard of aquarium co-op, you probably live under a rock' 😂😂😂😂
Mine always dies off. I am not using co2 but have a decent light aqua ray and using Ecco complete, also no dosing. 40% water changes every two weeks
Co2 probably going to be the missing link
What are the plants behind hygrophilia
You are the man. I was wondering, have you ever tried to convert conventional plants such as arabidopsis or Brassica Napus to grow in an aquatic environment? Or is that not possible
I have, with limited success. Often only temporary conversion.
@@CorvusOscen There's a nice variegated Bacopa that I converted back in California. Can't find it here.
What substrate do you use ?
I'm from 1 day in the future, in Australia it's Saturday night . Is there a technique to planting with tweezers cause the plants I try to plant with tweezers always pop back out and float. Thanks Joel.
Pulling the root sideways into the substrate helps a lot
The future is a wild place!
@@CorvusOscen,Not as wild as my past!🤔😎
I just ordered that a few days ago- for my 240. I know I will never see it for sale at the LFS,no matter how many I go to. $6 no shipping charge.
I'm super budget watching. Most of the light is sun..from a window. I also feed my fish all I want..no starving them. I made an over sized filter and change water weekly. Co2?? pleassssse. I'm old school. Grow slower,what do I care. Whats time?..ha.
Where did you order from?
@@Knight636 I don't recall,no matter. I've bought three different times,3 different sources and it rotted every time. Slow,but surely. It's not a plant for aquatic growth unless its gassed or ..possibly,somebody has plants already adapted to underwater and gives you a few pieces..maybe one of those takes in a non Co2 tank. But so far for me? impossible. In fact Gary,none EVER grew a single root..or formed a root bud.
Theyre better attached in a rock or wood...likely to rot when planted directly to substrate
I got a Pinnatifida a while ago and it arrived in bad shape. So I left it in the little black 2" pot to see if it would recover. it didn't. It melted. is this normal?
That's not normal at all
Nice 💕👍
We're all now from the future!
We'll this plants literally grows near my home in a small creek in india
Will it become red without co2
it will become red with strong light
What is the substrate you are using in this tank?
You name it, it's probably in there lol!
You seem to know plants. Can you point me to a list of plants from the Amazon river? I intend to breed Gold Nugget Plecos and I want to give them an evironment that makes them feel at home.
A side note, I am aware that the biotope these fish inhabit has few plants, but I really really want to have at least two or three in this 75g instead of simply staring at rocks.
I'll try to put a list together, in the mean time check out the Barr report forums for some!
Thank you very much!! :D
mine keeps melting :(
When i give my friend my plecco i will finally do a planted aquarium
That plant is sexy! 💥
Noice.
Tips : its okay if you have low setup aquascape, what pinnatifida wants is only mature aquascape. So it's all about lucky 😂
I really want to try this although i'm growing my 55 g with 26 plants and 10 different species in my 55 gallon. But i don't have co2 but i do have organic substrate so going to give it a try if i can get it in the uk. Several of my species i got because of you so thanks. HERE IS THAT TANK czcams.com/video/AhTlJzTXczg/video.html
Time traveling
wow,It hasn't grown one new leaf in a month. Three cuttings. Two in substrate,one on wood. I also don't see a single root on the wood mounted cutting. This is a hi light and long day grower. I will pass on this in a non Co2 tank in the future. No growth and still has pretty much the foliage it had. The only positive so far.
Hmmmmmm. I wonder what's going on with that. Might be the co2 like you said. That's a little odd though.
Beginner plant? Nah, i don't think so
What do you think?
@@CorvusOscen it requires dosing which a beginner might not be capable of and decent lighting. I myself am giving it a second go. Wish me luck!
