Scam! Do not purchase these seeds. It is well known in China that these seeds do not grow aquatic plants, but the Western market has yet to learn this, so the Chinese are still running this scam

[@veronicamiller3521]

I grew these in a glass bowl and kept the bowl going for over 6 months so that I could build a Betty tank. It was fun. I did use a heater tho. I didn’t use anything but water, aquatic soil, heat, and a sunny window. Once they grew I filled it with water and added a bubbler for a cute little water garden.

[@unbelievable-4u]

Amazing video! Thanks so much!! I bought a pack of seeds a month ago and put all the seeds into the substrate in the aquarium and then got the aquarium going and guess what - no blooms. Knowledge is power; wish I had seen this before. Thanks again.

[@AverageJoeandaMustang]

You will drown seeds. They need to germinate first.

[@terriblouin6099]

I grew these inside a vase about the size of a large pickle jar and planted a java plant (forgot the name). No filter and no heater, just added 3 cherry shrimp. We are on about day 5 with the cherry shrimp and they seem to be loving it! Planning to do 5 or 10% water changes about every two weeks and see how it goes. The "carpet" plant grows tall and the shrimp love hanging out in it😀

[@mochi8060]

Replying after a year of the comment,how did it go?

[@terriblouin6099]

@@mochi8060 I don't recommend these seeds. They grow crazy fast, and are not "carpet" as advertised. They grew so much that I couldn't see anything inside the glass "vase" fish bowl. I ended up scooping out the shrimp and yanking the whole mess of growth by the roots and starting over in a new tank.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Great video...👍

[@teresadougan8313]

After two years - do you still promote these seeds?

[@pecal1115]

In my country (Malaysia), some or most of the "aquascapers" called the seeds as a "seed scam" lol. I can't deny that the seeds are sometimes wrongly labeled or probably not a fully Aquatic plant (I'm not sure in this part), but it's indeed slightly cheap. However, I don't recommend if you're setting up for a main display tank or something. And agreeing to your statement, the seeds are not easily to germinate, which most people find it difficult. What to expect if you don't know what you're doing isn't it? For the tissue culture part, tissue culture is actually cheap for the amount of plants you receive. However, it's quite delicate and for an unstable tank, it can highly reduce the chance in growing them For potted plants, are affordable, might be slightly expensive (depend on species), but it's stable since the plants are already big, and rooted. But that doesn't count for the plants whether it's emmerse or submerge before.

[@trevorbrit2300]

@@JakeSlater Really? SOME aspects of being an aquarist require caution and patience and personally, I think she achieved the right balance. In over 30 years I had given up on seeds and just used potted aquarium plants and cultures; that is until I saw this! I have 5 small plastic containers with green buds sprouting all over the place and in about 5 more days they will be transplanted into my Fluval Flex aquarium that houses my Plakat Betta. Should look pretty cool when it's all done.

i found out that the hard way. took a full tank and substrate removal and a full restart on the aquarium. it looked grate until its all changed shape

[@iamNoBita8060]

[@1Corinnek]

What type of carpeting plant should you use for a tank?

[@Pusheen_cinnamoroll]

Yep they do grow crazily fast!

[@DIYFunVentures]

exactly. i used it as carpeting plant for my shrimp tank. weeks later it started to stick its head out of the aquarium. lol definitely not a carpet plant.

[@haroldgreen1425]

I started those same seeds in a 29 gallon tank adding water after they were well sprouted. Carpeted the entire tank beautifully. Seeds seem to be a mix of several varieties of plants. Unfortunately they quickly grew way too large to be a carpeting type plant and over time I allowed them to die off by not offering any nutrition. If you're going to try some from seeds then I would suggest you use a small container and keep the plants under control in your tank to avoid something you'll likely have to remove later.

[@exerpachuau5486]

[@jennicollins4427]

I bought these seeds previously. I did a dry start in my tank with no fertilizer and they looked amazing for a hot minute. Then they started growing taller and I realized they were not a carpet plant at all. Every time I cleaned my tank the plant would get up rooted. Eventually it all came up and I yanked it out. Maybe I will try again, but put them in the back.

[@nathanstout7763]

I used the leafy dwarf grass, ling hair and dwarf hair grasses from Amazon. Poured them right into my already established tank. All I have is lava rock at the bottom of the tank. I use api leaf zone. Two days later I got off work and the leaves already formed and turning green. The long hair grass was already 3 inches tall 2 days later in my vampire crab terrarium. The short hair grass im.not sure. Haven't checked it in 3 days. It will probably just blend in with the long hair grass. My crab tank does have fluval stratum, crab poop and neo shrimp poop as fertilizer though. My fish tank has 2 mollies, 2 guppies, a small pleco and a baby red eared slider.

I purchased microseeds from amazon 2 months ago and germinated the fluval on my 20 gallon tank. I followed all your steps like cover with saran wrap, led light for 12 hours and spray with flourish daily. It sprouted beautifully and I started adding water after 2 months. Now the problem is that, most of the microplants are floating on top of the tank since my fish are trying to eat it especially my corys. Is this normal? Like the floating and stuff?

I dry started a tank with these exact seeds and after adding water to the tank they grew kind of tall and the undergrowth "melted" and I think it caiused a ton of hair algae. After I pulled it all up, my algae went away.

[@slobrodepot2163]

@@giangpham8499 What's the scientific name of this plant? Why isn't that the beginning and end of the conversation? This isn't some undiscovered never been seen before plant. Like with every other plant you'll ever buy, this plant has been thoroughly studied by scientists and the parameters for taking care of it are very clearly defined and public. Knowing the ACTUAL NAME of the plant is the gateway to learning about it and that's why you wont find it anywhere in this video or any for sale postings. If they told you what it actually was you'd be able to just look it up and find out immediately it isn't an aquatic plant. When you buy plants anywhere else you don't say, give me that purple thing, or give me some of those "inexpensive seeds," you say "give me a French Hydrangea" or "I want a Golden Barrel Cactus." Why? because you care enough to spend money on it and (usually) that means you've read about how to take care of it. Don't be fooled by the "update" video either. It could be replanted, they could drain the tank so the plant grows normally then refill it for the video, or most likely, just take a video one or two days later then upload it at the "8th month mark". Look, you buy cheap, you're gonna buy twice, and when the ammonia bomb goes off in your tank from all the plants dying, you're gonna buy new fish too.
