MASSIVE AQUARIUM PLANTS at Tropica!!

Most of the aquarium plants I use for my and my client’s planted tank aquascapes come from Tropica Aquarium Plants in Denmark. Here I give a quick tour of the Tropica greenhouse and show you some of the amazing aquatic plants that they produce.

Like a paradise to all hobbyist.

Dear George, thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video.

[@AussieAquatic]

It is impressive to see how big these plants really want to be if they could get outside of our aquariums.

[@mikef3300]

Tropica is an amazing company. What a complex they have. Growing plants to make people’s aquariums and lives greener sounds like a wonderful business to be in. Very cool of you George to give us a glimpse of something most would never have a chance to see

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Mike 👍

[@themidger1]

I used to manage a rose greenhouse, growing plants for a living is some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. It’s fun, gives you a good workout, and makes peoples lives immensely better.

[@Dovietail]

[@thefishylife6823]

OMG!!!!!!!

[@andresduarte7470]

Hello george great information on this video what is the specie of the 2:53 ?

[@gavanmitchell9095]

Thanks for the insight George. What an amazing opportunity. I wish we had a Tropica distributor in Australia. On that note. If you get a chance, join up to Aquascaping Australia on Facebook. You have quite a few fans on there. Love ya work. Gav.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Gav. I’ll check it out now 👍

[@Shonan2024]

Tropica HQ was in 2 different times. That place is huge.

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

1970! wow they been around for a while.

[@bartek2462]

It looks like u are on Aquascapers Ark 😉

[@larrydsAquatics]

Impressive indeed, great video brother...

[@irferrari1]

Someone sound pretty excited

[@slavihinkov5588]

Always wanted a new video from Tropica, thank you George!

[@AVPAquariums]

That was great look behind the scenes. How long does it take for echinodorus to teach those mother plant sizes?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks! Not sure to be honest. I will ask next time I’m there .

[@Joyfulldane]

Where is that in denmark? I need to go !😍🌿

[@AquaticHaus]

im actually curious of how and what is the way to prevent mosquito breeding with so much water surface areas through out the facilities

[@craighowells2379]

You lucky bugger enjoy

[@romacio340]

Do they allow visitors also to take like a tour or something?

[@mustafaalrayes9218]

What is the temperature and humidity that should be available in the greenhouse?

[@25Aditya25]

Hey george how to use amazon swords in nature aquascapes? They take a lot of space and shadow other plants with its leaves. I have a giant amazon sword in my aquarium which is growing really healthy and fast but look awful.

[@jeffmueller2835]

Is that heaven

[@nvcken]

Hi, which soil use for grow P. Helferi and S. Repens ? Does it always fullfill water level for their root or just a half root ? Thanks

[@greenart2016]

Is Tropica use some substrate for emmerce plants growing or just water with firtelizers?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Just nutrient-rich water

[@SonOfMrGreengenes]

Tropica uses a substrate called Grodan and has since at least the early 1980's. It's a type of rockwool or mineral wool is another name for it.

[@ADUAquascaping]

Rad!

[@kurtschnepf9452]

Bloody good

[@keithott247]

Did you get samples :)?

[@ericj1500]

What do you like betyer sir, tropica soil or dennerle active substrate.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Very similar

[@ericj1500]

Wanna do a fluval spec and cant decide which to use, mostly small compact plants.

[@discuswell6238]

What is the white covering is it plastic??

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

To maintain humidity

[@SonOfMrGreengenes]

One thing that stands out for me is the lack of algae on the surfaces of many of those hydroponic beds. They must be using an algaecide of some kind. I did see some algae on in the beds with the tents and Java ferns. I have grown aquarium plants in my home greenhouse with a good degree of success but I can't quite figure out how they have absolutely no algae on some of those bed surfaces... the white ones with the drain channeling. Anyone have a an answer?

[@philiphartland4551]

You have a great job George. Tell me honestly where do you rate yourself in the aquascape world? Say if you were a footballer how far up the premier league would you be. By the way do you need a 58 year old apprentice??

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

😂 Interesting question. Comparing to footballing is tricky. I guess their success is largely determined by goals, wins etc. I measure my success in terms of how successfully I’m promoting aquascaping. So as an aquascaping influencer I rate myself higher than an aquascaper, if that makes sense? Like comparing Gareth Southgate to Neymar Jr... 😎

[@philiphartland4551]

That's a good answer George, l like the analogy.

[@juergensbr4612]

Rumors say George is buying a house in the neighborhood in the near future ...

[@dominic.h.3363]

It's a real shame these are disappearing from the trade, more and more tissue culture plants are being sold instead of emerse plants. I've used potted and gel plants of the same kind in the past and It's been my observation that regardless of the species' actual categorization and "needs" chart, tissue culture plants always have a higher demand and thus a harder time adjusting to their advertised "low" aquatic environment. I haven't tried 1-2-Grow! yet, only solid gel plants, but if they won't make it in a low light, non-CO2 environment either, despite the description, I'll only use cuts from other hobbyists later on.

[@kylemeyer4266]

I'm sure most of their emersed plants started out as tissue culture.

[@xobolte63]

Nice vedio

[@NatureCubes]

Ask them if you can rent one of the white tents and live there by any chance 😂

[@rothschildianum]

I did not know that the plants are not in the water.

[@GirlTalksFish]

Selmer Reference54 Yeah they grow faster and bigger out of water, which is why it takes time for them to transition from emersed to submersed growth. I don't blame them though; it makes the most business sense for all the reasons George stated. :)

[@rothschildianum]

thx for the info.

[@Bcr01x]

como se llama esta planta: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foi1d4Zrna-ir80

[@kmybitptys]

Too bad living in asia

[@johngonzalez7967]

Emerged plants need to end in our hobby. Big rip off.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]
