Grow Buce Emersed (Like a Boss!) - Part 2

[@jonathanben-ami4116]

Wow so much detailed information! You're the boss!

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

thank you Jonathan! Glad you liked it!

[@allureofgravity]

This is so comprehensive, awesome information!

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful 😎

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

In part 2, learn about containers and ventilation. You're on the way to growing emersed Buce like a boss. Post your questions or comments below! Oh yeah, and here is the playlist: bit.ly/awt-yt-emersebuce

[@pixazelz]

Its nice . I have one bucephalandra not doing well in my tank so I want to give it a small boost and growing it imersed .... And when it gain a good Size replant it in a different tank or the same

[@mariaurbana23]

what is the fissidens (i think it's fissidens) growing in the sundae cup at 1:48 ?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Yes, Fissidens. Species is not confirmed.

[@frankvolz7021]

Do you use, or have you considered the use of springtails to control mold issues, leaf litter is their food as well, but they keep mold and algae down in enclosed systems like terrariums. Just a thought.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Yes, I use springtails in all of my terraria and plant bins. Later in the Buce series I mention them. Thanks for the comment :)

[@StephenNellas]

Hi? How do you plant a fully submersed buce into emersed for a terrarium? Do u juat simply plant it in the terrarium after taking it out of the water?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I have not directly planted a submersed Buce into emersed culture, however some of the plants I received may have been grown submersed without me knowing it. Yes, you can just plant them in suitable emersed conditions and they will adapt. Make sure the humidity and wetness are very high at first, then you can gradually reduce them slightly. There may be some loss of foliage or drying out of the submersed foliage until the plant adapts to emersed conditions.

[@marimbaman1969]

Okay a couple questions, how long does it usually take to grow your buce to full size? For small deli container set ups, should there be a large or small amount of ventilation? And do emersed buce like low amounts of light?

[@lemonlizard1]

I know it's been a while, but since buce is a genus, not a species, every buce species will take a different amount of time to grow. Most of them could take months-years. Buce kedagang is notorious for being a fast grower though

[@jyackcon]

What substrate do you use?

[@stephsexoticpets]

i wish you listed the buce varieties! i just ordered a bunch frome buceplant. really great video & information. i suggest adding a little more to your thumbnail images so we know a bit more about what video is about, & keep my interest visually! :)

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thanks for the tip on the thumbnail. Sorry about the plant names, I would definitely post the info I knew it. Almost all of the ones I have didn't even come with any name. Most Buce in the hobby go by tradenames anyway and they are not very helpful because there are so many species and many of them look nearly identical and change appearance based on conditions. Hopefully you learned some good things in the tutorial series though, to help you grow your plants. Good luck with them!

[@stephsexoticpets]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria Thank you lots! Your videos helped me understand that they really do prefer emmersed growth. I subbed :) Buce is just so darn cute.

Hi Mattew...very good tips again ...just to let u know the end part of video got chop off ...

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Thanks, I think it ends where I wanted it to, but it is kind of an abrupt ending because it seems like I have more to say. LOL

[@jonisolis9645]

Thank you for making this series of videos. Where do you buy the circle screens you have added to the bins? Also, I have been told that the only way to make sure that you are only buying farmed Buce and not Buce taken from the wild (which is not a good idea!) is to only buy tissue grown Buce.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@Joni Solis I got the screens on Amazon. TC is always a good way to go if you're concerned about wild collecting.

Loved it thanks for doing this series of videos, What's the temperature of your room? Because I'm in South Florida, it gets really hot and humid here, I'm not sure if I should keep them inside the house or screened outdoor patio? Thanks again

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@Sadel Leonardo Ekmeiro thanks, glad you like the videos. My room temps average mid 70's F day, low 70's to high 60's night. Varies depending on season. I don't have experience with very hot temps on Buce. Outdoor might be a good idea in extreme heat, but I'm not sure.

[@AleRovella]

great videos! what's your room temperature?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

winter is usually low 70's F day, mid 60's night. Summer can be mid 80's to mid 90's F day, 70's -80's night

You're a Buce boss. Nuff said.

[@louiswalker550]

Very nice job! I wonder if the same setup works for other aquatic plants like Ludwigia Glandulosa, Rotala and Alternanthera Reineckii?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

You can grow many emersed plants in bin setups. Just change the substrate media according to what the plants want.

[@louiswalker550]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria thank you! I'm going to try this setup with them too.

[@hector-3089]

[@jbittner3259]

Regarding the deli containers: Would it be suitable to use containers that originally had food in them, were washed, and then cleaned further with isopropyl alcohol? It just occurs to me that instead of just recycling plastic containers I could use them as mini grow outs. Ideas?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Yes, you can definitely use food containers for growing plants. Clean with warm water and dye-free, unscented dish soap to remove any oils and residue, then rinse thoroughly. If you wash them like that, you don't need to sterilize them with alcohol, as there is unlikely to be any plant-harming pathogens remaining.

[@wildlifeecology]

Great videos. I notice your plastic tubs have a frosty clear top. Is this sufficient or does the lid need to be completely transparent?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Doesn't matter for plants which don't need a lot of light

[@CoffeeTimeBrian11]

Is there a specific humidity that grows best without too much mold that you may have noticed? Or is it just first sign of mold increase ventilation?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

There is no specific humidity measurement. It depends on air movement, temperature, amount of decaying matter present, substrate age, and many other factors. So, best to use a little ventilation and then increase if needed.

[@TamNguyen811]

do you measure the humidity level in the bins? if yes how much is optional?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I don't measure the humidity. I just keep it very humid and it's good. If you notice leaf edges getting light brown and dry, the humidity is too low

[@LoneWolf_RO]

how often do you spray the plants? just started my own emersed experiment tank

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Please see Part 4 in the series for watering info

[@zaheerahamed7545]

Hello I have a question. Is it possible to plant buce attached to rocks placed on the inner side of a backyard diy stream? The water runs almost all the time and it gets a lot of sunlight during the day. The climate here is humid and it is currently the monsoon season which means a lot of rain. But in the sunny seasons, would the sun be too harsh on them or would it be fine since they're emersed? (As in having the running water cover it but not fully). I would really appreciate your answer on this!

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I would avoid direct sun, as I believe most or all Buce prefer shaded conditions. Also you said nothing about the temperatures where you live. Make sure the temps year round stay above the min temps for the species. I don't know anything about that, you'll need to research the climate for the species.

[@nevaehmaya]

Pls make a video on lighting as well

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Yes, there are several more videos in this series which will cover other topics including lighting :) Thanks for watching!

[@peterempire1777]

What substrate is mixed in? Aquasoil or potting? Some clay stones red?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

It's fluval stratum and red lava rock. Some of the other videos in this series go over that and other stuff in great detail.

[@niko69692]

Hi, the place where I live is extremely hot through out the year summer temperature reaching upto 46 C and its very humid. I have few submerged rhizome, my question is can we grow them in these temperature ?? which grows faster submerged or emerged??

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Hi, I don't know if the plants can survive such hot temperatures. In the heat it would be best to grow submerged. If emersed I would suggest misting many times a day to keep leaves cooler and hydrated. I don't know if Buce grow faster submersed vs emersed - I only grow emersed

[@TonysExploration]

what is the exact temperature inside the box?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I never measured it. I don't grow many Buce anymore but the temps probably vary between 70-80F

[@earoliansalas131]

Can i use clay soil substrate

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I’m not sure because I have never tried it.

[@ZhelezniyDrovosek]

[@francispenaranda718]

Hi sir, will be fine to place a space on your bin to have a humidifier so that you wont be misting on them all the time?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Yes you can set up a misting system or humidifier. You can try a lot of ideas to accomplish the same goal. Good luck

[@leesahcage3297]

Great video, what substrates do you think work best for this? Will you be trying other plants also like java ferns, anubias, crypts?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

[@bradharrison4428]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria Yes. How you set up and propergate Anubius and ferns like Bolbitus emersed. I've recently acquired some Buce species I'm growing them emersed in a seedling tray with ADA Amazonia and a heat mat. Hopefully it works.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

@Brad Harrison Bolbitis, Anubias, etc can be grown exactly the same way as explained in this entire tutorial series. The conditions they like are the same as Buce, except for the other ones I would not use lava rock or anything that raises the pH too much (some plants won't mind the pH though. Java fern seems to do well on lava rock). So just Fluval Stratum or something like that.

How long that we can harvest the buce

[@desfishgeek8119]

for ventilation - is using small computer type fans overkill, or would the amount of airflow from them, too much or have you tried this? I know in my greenhouse (i hybridize orchids) ventilation is very important, and knowing i keep the humidity up in the greenhouse, there is a balance between the moisture (aka humidity) and air movement to be optimum... wondering if you have tried this on your level.

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I don't use fans for Buce but you could if you kept them very low speed AND if you had zero ventilation in order to keep the humidity super high). To be clear, air movement / circulation is different from ventilation. Movement / circulation is internal, ventilation is air exchange between inside and outside air). So no ventilation if you use fans, to avoid humidity from dropping and desiccating the Buce foliage and causing the substrate to dry up too fast. But Buce love to be wet and humid, they can take it way better than orchids can. For most orchids I almost always try to have fans, like you.

[@uohtreB]

Very in depth video wauw 👍 you are a wizard 🙌 Only one thing I dont understand is, why haven't you removed any of the sticks in the containers ?? Those beautiful Bucephalandras deserve better 🤣🤣👊

Did you use ro water?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

I use distilled for everything

[@rp101aquatics6]

if i were to do this i a green house how would i do jt

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Inside a greenhouse, if it's really humid, you could grow them in trays. Basically the same care and setup as noted in this entire Buce series, but just a tray instead of a bin.

[@eavillamin5128]

My buce emersed set up is not doing well. I'm using ada amazonia. Seeing some small growth but they look nutrient deficient. What should I do

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

Have you added any fertilizer? If not, that may be part of the problem. I use Osmocote Plus. Also, sometimes new plants take a while to get going and occasionally the new growth may not look as good if the leaf was already forming before it was transplanted. Add fert and give more time. If plant is healthy but color is pale it might be too much light. Experiment and LMK how it goes.

[@eavillamin5128]

I've used another brand of slow release ferts. I will try to use foliar instead to try how it will respond. 😊

[@htheoys9993]

How do you plant them in emersed set up.. I mean the rhizomes

Will be answered in a future video. But just put the roots into substrate but don't cover rhizome

So what s the best humidity level ? U know there s something that measures humidity....

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

The exact humidity level doesn't really matter as long as it's "high humidity" which you can know is the case if you have a mostly sealed bin and moist substrate. Basically the higher the humidity the better. These plants can grow submersed so they obviously don't mind 100% humidity. A hygrometer isn't really necessary.

[@LoneWolf_RO]

@@AnotherWorldTerraria and how do you avoid mold?

[@AnotherWorldTerraria]

adding a little ventilation, adding springtails and isopods, trying to remove decaying material when it is present, etc. You can't always completely prevent mold in this humid and wet setups. it's just a natural thing
