Setting Up Emersed Aquatic Plant Farm
Vloลพit

- I'll show you how I set up my emersed aquatic plant system. Many types of aquarium plants are able to grow emersed very easily, making it a good way to propagate them so you don't have to keep buying more plants. You can also give what you grow to friends as well as sell them online.

If you have any questions, please ask below and Iโll try to answer them. Also let me know about your experiences growing aquatic plants emersed.
For more expert advice, be sure to check out Christel Kassellmanโs instagram as she grows a ton of aquatic plants emersed ๐ค
There some country that sell any rotala 25 stem for 3 dollar
What's the maintenance? do you release the lids once per day and fan them? I tried something like this in the past outside but without proper heat regulation they all died lol.
I like the rack, that would be very handy. I'm wondering, once you filled the containers with the soil & water, did they hold their shape pretty well? I'm definitely thinking about doing something like this on a smaller scale.
@@dragonsimon1 Yes, it would be best if there were ventilation holes in the lids. You can drill your own holes or just open the lid and air them out once a day. Keep them shaded so they don't overheat
Good to see 2 tanks behind you are getting better. May I ask how many hours of lighting and how strong they are that you are set up?
Hey Ryo, you said you weren't sure what Akadama is used for in the soil mix so I'll share what I know: Raw potting soil often has too much organic matter (basically dead stuff), which means having so much nutrients but it also means it can have too much ammonia (which hasn't been mineralized by bacteria yet). It also often can compact too much and lacks good aeriation (i.e. oxygen through water and air).
So we add an inert, lightweight, porous substrate such as Akadama or something like perlite which also works great. It will: 1) Reduce the concentration of organic matter/ammonia so it doesn't "burn"/rot the roots, bringing it closer to aquasoil (which definitely has way less organic matter than potting soil), and 2) Allow the soil to have more oxygen, to breathe more, which significantly helps avoid root rot.
Big bonus: This same concept applies to keeping house plants :-) with the addition that for house plants it also helps with drainage because, unlike aquatic species, many terrestrial plant roots can "drown" and rot if they stay in standing water under soil for too long.
So think of the akadama/perlite/whatever (there are other alternatives) as your soil, and the dark "potting soil" as your "fertilizer". ;-) Ratio-wise, I go as high as one third to one half perlite to potting soil (depending on how concentrated the potting soil I'm using is). This was the number one key to no longer killing any of my house plants and emersed aquatic plants.
Great info. I can attest to the house plants issue. I had a "mini" tree growing, about 7 feet tall, but don't know the type. It was 20+ years old and I ended up breaking it changing the soil. Occasionally we would only update the first few inches but since it needed a new container after 10 years, I took it all out to mix with new. Well, it had almost no roots past the first couple of inches. I was upset because it looked wonderful.
This is great. If your rotala flowers it would be fun to cross pollinate and make your own cultivars, or even just grow some plants from seed.
You are so innovative, making great use of less expensive household items.
This works amazingly well, I'm doing the same with old take away container.
Old sushi trays with lids work great for carpeting plants. I just keep them on my windowsil indoor and boom free carpet!
Great idea. I also love how you use normal household objects. Very inspiring. I guess I would avoid using wood if possible since the area will be quite wet? But if the stand is too shaky, you might need to brace it. Love this concept. You might consider using some plants to repel mosquitoes since you've mentioned they can be a problem. I live in Florida and they are a big problem here. You could have some mint, marigolds, catnip (your visiting kitties would love this!), lavender, and citronella planted around and any of that should repel mosquitoes quite well. Plus they would be enjoyable. Another great video, my friend.๐ชด
Iโm was looking forward to this project. Thanks for sharing!
Rotala 'Assam' is from a state in India called 'Assam.' This is state is the North-West of India and its a culturally diverse place, both people and plants are very diverse. Beautiful place!

Great setup mate, love it. Another enjoyable upload โ๏ธ
Duly seconded, good sir. ๐
Awesome.
Good work. Keep uploading
Nice Setup. Please add Anubias to this project.
hello from cambodia
Hi!
awesome video
Thanks!
Another alternative for soil is cocopeat/coir. some plants like it, but some aren't.
mostly I use cocopeat because the algae is not thriving in my experience.
i had bucephalandra growing like this. They're a great fighter, they live longer than many of my dried stemplants xD.
Your video inspired me
Akadama slow release planting soil for tanks. Great for shrimp tanks as well.
Hi Ryo san,
I had an idea for this giant stone , make a glass table with the stone as a stand.
Why we don't have these giant stones in nature in the netherlands ๐
Have a great weekend!
With love from the netherlands
Stefan
This was a great follow up to last week's video.
Glad you got your emersed plant set-up going. ๐
Edit: Yes the current one looks wobbly but I think if you get to brace it, it might turn out fine.
And yes in case it doesn't work, the plank of wood idea would certainly save you some costs.
Thank you, yeah itโs a little shaky now but I should be able to fix it with some braces as you mentioned ๐
Hey ๐ฅ ๐๐
@@BlakesAquatics Hello Blake! How are you? Hope things are going well down undah. ๐
Hello from Bangladesh ๐
Hi ๐๐ผ
Very nice stuff!! Why did you put Akadama soil underneath as first layer before potting soil?
Hi Ryo, your channel is excellent. What do you think is the best light for aquatic plants in emerged culture? natural light (without direct sun) or LED light from lamps? thank you๐ฑ
๐๐ป๐๐ป
๐
Is that your competition Tank? :D.. It looks amazing at 11 mins plus.
Finally your dream come true
I would put plywood for a top. After awhile the weight of the water is going to push the tray down and out of the rack.

Please try "Pogostemon Erectus"... PLEASE!
I'm surprised there are dollar stores in Japan! I bet they sell much better stuff! ๐
Hello there. Yeah there are. There is a particular one called 'Daiso'.
Not sure about the ones in Japan, but the one in my locality, which I bought from, actually sells really decent and quality stuff. They have yummy tasting snacks there too.
Oh and thank you for supporting the channel. Stay awesome! ๐
Hi Aunt Patricia!! Yes, we have dollar stores here in Japan too :) most items are 100yen but there are things that go up to 500yen ๐
I just got back from my japan trip. And got plenty of rare buce sp.s any advice growing them emersed? Is it ok to grow them in an aquasoil? Yes Iโm not going to cover the rhizomes. Do i need to fill the container with water like u did in the video? Or just water them like flowers?
akadama is for enhancing root growing
Akadama is high in iron ๐ช๐ผ
๐ฎ Did I catch a glimpse of your contest tank through the window ๐๐
Have you grown anubias and bucephalandras? do you use earth or stone? What fertilizer do you hydrate or add? thank you
Used aquasoil work best for me in malaysia. Garden soil always kill my plant. Idk where i did it wrong ๐
Can you do this with different types of moss?
What happens if I water too much with the automatic watering system, and what if there is too much water in the tray?
Hhey ryo when we closed the plants with the cover,we should make some hole for some oxygen or not or just totally cover it up... Im sorry im a newbie๐โค
Yup, definitely have some ventilation holes :)
@@RyoWatanabee thank you ryoโก
Hey Ryo, is it normal for newly planted plants to melt some of its leaves for the first week or two after planting?
Yup normal. Sometimes they will grow back sometimes they wonโt. Trial and error
Bro, I can't find round-pod water-primrose Any where. Man I don't even know if its legal in the USA
so ryo , hows the evo doing
I saw a pretty kitty๐ป! Is he/she yours?
Sheโs a stray that comes and take shelter in our garden :)
Won't sealing the lids with the clips like that suffocate the plants?
I didn't mention in the video but the lid doesn't give a tight seal so there is some air flow. If not, you could just drill some holes in the lid ๐
@@RyoWatanabee I meant the ones at 15:10 with the very tightly sealing lids with seals in them.
@@Asdayasman Ah yes, I try to open those once a day to check on them and air them. I should poke some small holes in the lid though, so I donโt have to be hands on daily
What kind of light does your plant farm get?
Natural indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight is also ok for some plants but not too much as it can burn and dry them up quickly. I like to keep mine in well shaded area
Any update on this farm?
Iโll try to update soon :)
@RyoWantanbee โ Iโm surprised your goldfish havenโt spawned in your pond after all this time they produce a lot of eggs and are super easy to breed Iโve found Lol maybe you have 2 same sex ๐
You are so cute and handsome.
