      Wow. I've actually failed at duckweed in three separate tanks. I didn't know to protect them from my hang-on-back.

      Do the stem plants use root tabs also or is a liquid fer? Tilizer better?

    Very helpful video. I'd like to know a few basic things that are not covered: 1) Some of my moneyworts came in pots from a LFS with some wooly material in the basket...should I remove them before plating in gravel? 2) What floating plants can is better for moderate light (no special lighting requirement) and will NOT be sucked into the HOB filters? Many thanks! Liked and Saved.

    I've been watching your videos on aquarium plants with great enthusiasm and even though I keep tropical fish, I am not into live plants. I do know a little bit about gardening, and, one question I would like to ask the plants in the aquarium -- are they affected much by PH when photosynthizing or taking in nutrients. I know some plants have problems taking in nutrients at certain PH. The one I know best is maganese, plants suffer problems taking in maganese nutrition with anything above 6.5 PH (and can cause deficiencies as they'r

    @lakernation2158 Pƙed 8 měsĂ­ci +1

    What about planting in a tank that is already filled with water? Is it still possible? I have an established tank that has soil but no plants yet. How much more difficult will it be to plant in the substrate while fully submerged? Will the roots of plants struggle to stay secure? Do not want to drain the tank to plant if I do not have to, especially with fish in it. Does anyone have experience with this? đŸ€”

    I find caring for plants harder than fish. Even "beginner" plants. Only one I've had success with is the Red Tiger Lotus. All mines mostly melted away and never came back or rotted away even though I hadn't submerged the rhizomes.
    Dosed them root tabs and liquid fertilizer. Still didn't work. I keep having to buy new plants, which is really taxing on the wallet.

  • @Grand-Massive
    @Grand-Massive Pƙed 10 měsĂ­ci

    The guy at my LFS told me that you shouldn't leave the plant in the rockwool because over a long time it can start to leak nitrates or something in the water. He said it would only happen after a really long time, 3-4 years IIRC. I value his opinion quite a lot. He has the nicest fish store I've been too and he's very helpful and knowledgeable. Do you think there is any merit to what he said? I'm guessing not since you sell a product that is designed to hold potted plants.

      Rockwoll is inert, so this is very unlikely.
