Grow Buce Emersed (Like a Boss!) - Part 4

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

The much awaited part 4 of emersed Buce tutorial is here. Post your comments and questions below!

[@resto776]

Do you have a recommendation for temperature in a bucephalandra species-only aquarium? Cooler (22 C) or more near warm (28 C)? I've heard varying opinions on this.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@Mac F I don't know anything about growing them in aquaria, but I'd say any of those temperatures should be fine, as those are about what I grow them in under emersed conditions in my bins. In general, warmer temps should be OK, especially if submersed.

[@resto776]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria I'm just trying to replicate the natural environment. Finding river water temperatures for Borneo is surprisingly difficult! Love your stuff. Thank you for the info.

[@271chandra]

Nice video👍.. I have bucep in the tank, but the leaves are rotten, Some die :( .... Do you have a way to handle it?

[@desfishgeek8119]

what is the brand of the micro sprayer you use in your videos?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I haven't watched this in a while but I assume you are referring to the pump sprayer with the wand? If so, it's Solo brand. I have two different models. one is a small like 1 gallon or less and an attached wand, the other is a few gallons larger one with a hose and wand. They are both good for different jobs but generally I use the larger one with hose wand.

Hi Another World Terraria, 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 you🌱

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thank you. I've never used natural light to grow plants indoors so I can't comment on that. I use LED lights for everything. The quality and intensity of LED lights varies drastically across the range of products, so it's hard to say much about it. If you buy a good one which is bright and has the right spectrum, it can perform as well as natural light. Lighting is a very complex subject, but I hope this helps a little bit.

[@zackraftis3488]

Hi! Loved the video. Just wondering if u have the link to the lights?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Sorry, I don't. There are lots of different LED lights on Amazon that are all similar. The available models change all the time. Thanks for watching

[@maxzz8077]

Hi dear, if i buying the plants, how long does it take to make them grow with boxes, lighting and Co2 ?

[@felipealbornoz4209]

Hola, he estado revisando tus videos y están increíbles, te tengo una pregunta, cada barra de led es de 4 watts correcto? ¿Desde donde mediste los lúmenes con la aplicación? Desde las plantas, o desde mas arriba? Ya que de eso depende la cantidad de lúmenes que te arroja la aplicación, yo medí a la altura de las plantas y me arroja 340 lúmenes, es una caja grande con 2 leds de 10 watts cada uno

[@chrisrichardson4623]

Hi thank you for sharing can buce be grown completely submerged please ? Very informative x

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@chris richardson Yes, Buce are grown in aquaria all the time

Hi Matthew, After watching your whole series a few times I started my first own bin a couple of weeks ago. So far the bucephalandra a growing an out of curiosity I also added an Eriocaulon and a bit of Riccardia and Krabi moss. Despite the added springtails I notice sometimes some mold though but that usually disappears when I mist it a bit. But thing that annoyes me the most is that now blue algeas /cyanos are spreading in the wet soil 😑 Do you have any suggestions on this one? Thanks

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Algae and cyanobacteria will definitely show up. I have it in some places too. I find it helps to keep the substrate deeper and the water level below the surface so it isn't wet up top. The lava rock topping helps, as long as it is above the water level. If the algae gets too thick, peel it off so it doesn't spread over the plants. Some people treat these things with hydrogen peroxide but I have not had a lot of luck with that.

[@accept_everything_]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria Thank you. I will try those things. I have to admit that I didn't used the lava gravel so far because of it looks but it really seems to make sense.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

They sell black lava too, maybe you'd like it better than the maroon color

[@konelee]

Best tutorial in the internet! Where can i buy the led bar? do you have the link? thank you

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I use a variety of different ones, there are tons of them on Amazon, I like the LEDGLE brand

[@konelee]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria wow thanks friend

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thank YOU for your nice comment and for watching my video!

[@kitharodos21]

Is it a good idea to use as water, some of your stable long running,cycled tank?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I can't say because I don't have aquariums so I cannot test that idea. But I think it would be OK, as long as you monitor the nutrient/fertilizer levels and water chemistry

[@kitharodos21]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria the thing is that I dont have rainwaiter either. But I think you are VERY useful to this hobby and I appreciate A LOT your quick and sincere response. I hope all the hobbyists were as dedicated as you, with deep knowledge, experiments and nevertheless being sincere and speak out that they dont know if they dont know. Congratulations and keep up the good work. You are a HUGE influence for me. Cheers, Paris Chronakis from Greece

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and am glad you find my videos useful. Thanks for watching!

[@ruthmeow4262]

Okay, that is very low light and the buce are beautiful. What device are you using for misting and where are you sourcing your buce from?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I use a Solo mister (2 liter). Buce from various places - buceplant.com, buypetshrimp.com, friends, etc

[@dianes9778]

Can water from a stream be used ?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I would assume so as long as it's not contaminated with anything harmful

[@76Eliam]

Oh my, I did a set up similar to yours (without watching your videos) but my Althernathera Reineckii died in a matter of days and it may be due to the water (I used tap water because I had nothing else and I was leaving my house for a week and did not want to leave my plants in their 1-2-Grow! growing medium). Weirdly my Staurogyne Repens seem to thrive in the exact same container. Or it may be due to the light setting but I don't know if it's too high or too low. In general, does Staurogyne need more or less light than AR ?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I am not super experienced with a lot of different aquarium plants. I don't really know the light levels. Maybe ask about those species in some Facebook or Reddit groups about aquarium plants?

[@76Eliam]

​@@AnotherWorldTerraria Thanks for the advice, I'll do that if it happens again. I came back here because I'm going to buy some bucephalandras and take some inspiration from your set up. Thank you for all your work !

[@Thelostgoldhunters]

AR needs high light

[@Mark-wt7xl]

Hi ,wondering can l use rain water,i have 4 big tanks, thank

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I would say you could do an experiment. Try it on a few cheap / common plants in a separate bin. Give it at least a few months. If it works, you should be good to go. Personally, I wouldn't risk it due to all the pollution in the air.

[@juniorataide1712]

One led bar for each box?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

In general, yes

[@CyberSergey]

What is colour temperature of your lighting? What is light duration? Voice speaks very fastly in video, I did not understand

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Color temp 5000 - 6000 K. Photoperiod 13-14 hours

[@ezioaugustus2621]

Do you sell buce? I don't understand the point of this farm setup if you can't view the plants.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I don't usually sell plants. I am a plant addict, love plants, collect them, have too many. I grow them in the most efficient and economical ways that I can, which is what I'm showing here. I go around my collection and look at the plant while I'm taking care of them. I sometimes make display terrariums and then I would transfer some plants into that where it looks nice and can be viewed. But mostly, I'm just collecting and hoarding. 😂😎

[@ezioaugustus2621]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria why not grow some of them submersed?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

if i was going to go submersed i'd want to have an aquatic setup with filtration and stuff. I like aquariums and aquatic setups but I'm too busy to deal with maintenance and all the additional considerations

[@whoopwhoop8038]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria have you ever tried to submerge one of your plants after growing emerged? I think your idea with the displays are very beauftiful. I think i am gonna try it. But i have 2 aquariums too where i want to plant some of them from time to time. Do you think that is a Bad idea because of Adaption of the buces? Greets

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@@whoopwhoop8038 They will adapt to underwater over time. I have never grown Buce submersed because I don't have aquaria.
