I do believe that in the next vlog about this propagation methode Christel Kasselmann deserves a shoutout. ;-) BTW, have you ordered her book?

[@TheFastyXChannel]

Very interesting video! Note, for your next serie maybe show us how to reintroduce / plant them to the under water life?

[@saladnander3690]

These are so cool, and amazing how they fill out so fast with so little plants. Love all your projects, seeing a new vid was a great start to my day 🙂

[@martyking6942]

Do you have mosquito problems with all of that standing water? Great update video. Thank you.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Haven’t had that issue yet

[@PasinduKw]

@@RyoWatanabee Is there any method to prevent mosquitos?

[@sdqsdq6274]

Hi Bro I was soo wating for this video and upcoming rice fish video too so hiped up 😁😁

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 😊

[@teckleongwong3912]

no algae problem??

[@Chik_plays]

Any black mold

[@terminalspines]

Damn Ryo, you're crushing it with this plant growth! I honestly never thought of growing more plants with the trimmings I have in my nano tank.

[@4wtsage]

Can you ship some of the Rotella Vietnam to the US 🇺🇸

[@gothic0love]

Bet this guy is like me, Aspie.😅 all organized by size, color, size. 😄

[@katyushkasenshado1724]

Great setups Ryo! Much love and support from the Philippines.

[@valiaudet3415]

So, if we grow this way then move into aquarium the submerged plants die. Just like my shop bought plants.

[@AngryKittens]

@@valiaudet3415 They melt and regrow new aquatic leaves. It's may be bad for the fish while this happens, but the nutrients released into the water are re-used to grow new leaves.

[@AntScapes1]

Been waiting for a video like this for a while!! That’s a fantastic setup and all of those plants are so so healthy! Love your content Ryo! ❤️❤️

[@TheMyrkiriad]

Don't you have algae problems in those containers ?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Nope. Maybe some algae in the first 1 or 2 weeks but after that, the plants will take over

[@AngryKittens]

"If you see worms in yours, don't panic." Me: Wow. Free fish food.

[@solenebrodu8936]

Do they handle sunlight well ? I would like to do this too but I’m worried about sunlight and the temperatures 😬

[@bagas.s1999]

7:40 Ryo: *knock the plastic container* "good plastic right there"

[@carlalees1776]

Great video Ryo. I'm in NZ and trying to grow aquatic plants in my greenhouse, not very successful however you have highlighted where I could be going wrong. I only spray my plants morning and night but as they are aquatic I like how you keep water above the soil so they keep hydrated. I'm going to give this a go so thank you

[@SynthToshi]

Asking all my favorite youtubers to support me, I think it will help with yt algo's. If you can that would be great. Troubling times right now and I could use all the help possible.

[@wellokayfine]

Tried:( almost of them dry out in two hours. Location Australia(winter)

[@RyoWatanabee]

Don’t start in the winter. I started some in the winter but put them out in the sun with lids on them

[@fabiocorte6538]

How cold does it gets there??? Will try to do the same but here gets 5 Celsius at night

[@RyoWatanabee]

It gets colder than 5 celcius here :) much colder

[@jordandixon125]

I've always wanted to see how this was done! Really excited to see your 120p

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you

[@marshaw652]

Great farm! I've been meaning to do exactly that for months. I need to get the supplies to build the shelves, because it will be where my dogs go outside. I don't want my dachshunds playing in the plants. They are the main reason I haven't done this yet. Very smart, but nosy dogs. Plus they seem to be able to break into or out of anywhere they want. 🙄 It's a bit annoy spending a weekend building a fence to have them take 30 minutes to get around it.... Can this be done with mosquito inhibitor in the containers? I don't want to cause a mosquito outbreak. My husband was complaining about the rainwater I was collecting, said there was mosquito larva. He's actually allergic to the popular mosquito repellant so he really, really isn't a fan of me having water sitting out.

[@leviforslund6792]

Would this work work grow lights indoors??!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup

[@robertjamesgallardo]

Can you do an anubias farm?...

[@sclazzy]

One of the most interesing ideas. Instead of rebuying the plants every scape. Thank you for that. I'll try that out soon

[@davidprowse1474]

Hi Ryo. Do you have any tips of reintroducing to a newly set up aquarium? For example, I’d be keen to know if emersed growth trimmings can establish quickly enough to provide the planting “bulk” to reduce risk of algae early on in a new high tech tank? (would they need have roots or are cuttings ok)? Thank you!

[@markusmiszewski3793]

Amazing how well the plants grow. I didn't expect that. You have the "green thumb"

[@dantel8995]

How is that possible without high humidity and direct sunlight which can burn leaves? I have a setup with %96 humidy, oxigen pump at 28 degree but still my plants turning yellow

[@slimesdesigns7004]

Should I put a lid in my plastic bin or not?

[@RyoWatanabee]

If it’s too cold then yes, you should put a lid

[@asifali007]

what size trays are those ? can i get it online? you used normal potting soil or aquasoil for emersed growth?

[@ish77777]

Very informative video, have you ever tried propagating aquatic plants on water only? If so, how did it go :)

[@s.n.m.2286]

Wait a minute! Aquarium plants farming but not submerged under water? My question is do the plants survive if placed in an aquarium and fully submerged under water? I have had some Ludwigia in my fish tank for a while but not doing great at all.

[@SaMpl3_T3xt]

rosanervig is pressumably dutch, consisting of 2 words rosa and nervig, measning pink and leaf veiny, so i assume this cultivar has pink leaf nerves :D

[@hanslim4031]

Why would the leaves die off if submerged in water, even though they are aquatic plants???

[@ranjanty]

Wow soil is cheap in Japan, especially the akadama. The small bag I bought was 18 dollars.

[@ljluke5669]

Hey mate! Absolute awesome work with all your aquatic mini plant farms! They’re looking amazing bro also just thinking you could possibly... if you built the rack out of wood, connecting them all up with small PVC piping an each one in slightly lowered pigeonholes leading down to the bottom with a ( blacked out fish tank ) with an overflow and a pump pushing the water up to the first mini aquaponic plant farm? lots of fish in a sump tank may help with the plants.

[@HisValor]

Awesome video! Do you just use the natural sunlight?☀️😊

[@aquariumplantman]

Hey Ryo, you’ve inspired me to give this a go. I’ll start in spring I think. 🌿

[@RyoWatanabee]

That is so nice to hear! Thank you and yes, spring is the best time to start :)

[@aquariumplantman]

@@RyoWatanabee so many different rotalas you have mate, beautiful.

سلام از چه خاکی استفاده میکنید چه چیزهایی احتیاج داریم برای این کار ممنون

[@marioabel3347]

So on this video all those plants are fully submersible its summer here in chicago. Try natural aquarium using cheap top soil with play sand for top off like dr fish recommended

[@MoreChannelNoise]

I am sure you know but with some plants if you plant them along their stem (lay them on their side) on the soil they sprout more new plants. where the leaf axis are.

[@rossallen738]

How well do these transition back into the aquarium?

[@madeinthegetto]

I want to try this but summers just getting started in California, worried about mosquitoes. Did you experience any problems with mosquitoes

[@RyoWatanabee]

I’ve had mine set up for more than 6 months and surprisingly have not seen any mosquito larvae’s in these set ups.

[@slimesdesigns7004]

How did it go?

[@inktv7659]

Hi Ryo its a great setup! what is your temperature during the summer?

[@yusritassiem9913]

Hi just wanted to know if you can point me in the right direction I am looking for some buce and anubias seeds do you know where I can purchase some of these. thank you

[@jaguaron_]

What size for your container, and tall soil from bottom

[@explantculture]

Do you have high humidity were you live and does the direct sun not melt the plant.

[@darktoxicsoul2]

Really cheap container in my Walmart are around 12 dolars

[@Happyfinsandnature]

Awesome video. Never though you can grow aquatic plants in this way... Good luck for future videos...

[@armandowiratama2905]

[@user-iw7ju3fg9s]

just wonderin,is this cant be done putting those aquatic plants under water?

[@crabnationgermanysteiger8849]

How often do you spray them and do you keep them open from the beginning

[@classychandu5090]

Yeah I have the same question

[@nixoBB]

how is your experience when you plant them in an aquarium?

[@jonwayne1357]

Did you write that plant name? Nice handwriting!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, that’s my writing. Thanks :)

WOW you are so cool

[@41zerolinrez44]

I tried doing this but more water, they are submerged. But then the tip of the plants dies as soon as they are out of the water, how to fix it?

[@garym7777]

What the coldest conditions for thous plants to survive ? We are in Budapest

[@MrGigi-dz9cv]

Some plants, would just die outside of water.

[@knottyinks1]

Sorry if I missed it in your video but do you top up the ferts or rely on the soil? Thanks!

[@khgn1234]

great job, what is the temperature there??? Here in Philippines it is maybe to hot... it is here most of the time 34 C in the day time, is that not too hot?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Same temp here. We get 40C during the summer. Just water the plants daily and give them some shade

[@khgn1234]

@@RyoWatanabee Thanks.... I will give it a try, plants are expensive and have a hard time in my tank because also with the heat here in the house, and if I can get some extra with this method that would be awesome!

[@stephencraig8578]

What low temps did they handle? do you use a heater(s)?

[@devadosskishore9270]

So how do you fertilize for plants

[@baikia777]

There's a bunch of cat's paw marks on the cabinet lol.. Some of plants didn't do well probably because of the cyanobacteria is hindering their growth with toxins. If you can get a hydrogen peroxide, you can dilute it and spray it on the algae.

[@RyoWatanabee]

That’s not Cyanobacteria. It’s Spirogyra (pond silk algae). Just be patient, let the plants grow and the algae will go away. All the containers had that algae in the beginning

[@MrGigi-dz9cv]

Amazing,, what one can achieve ...

[@VinylUnboxings]

I'd start with direct sunlight and dial it back if they start to look too burnt, personally

[@maryseloyer]

Waouhhh i Want To do that! Where do you live ?

[@KenLe1998]

Wow! How do they survive like this? Is there hight humidity in your country? Everytime I try, they dried up and died.

[@shana634]

Maybe you should cover it with a lit or plastic folie. That works fine for me. I often spray the plants. Also open the lit so now and then

Thanks for sharing. Great to see your system. I didn't know it was so effective. Have onle ever done this with the plants fully emerged, which takes a lot more work and is very messy in a small apartment. I'm guessing this would work for practically any plant, except for moss
