The Future of This Channel.

[@darkiss360]

Large moss grow outs. Moss is something I can never get enough off. Weeping moss is best

[@abcdefo]

Ok just got to the end and ideas for videos that I'de like to see: Acclimation and water parameter guides for different plants. Perhaps with monthly/weekly updates. You could also roll this into experimentation with the range each species can handle. As a fellow diligent gardener, I can understand not wanting to push your plants too far, but testing the range and pulling back regarding temp, gh, kh, ph, lighting, etc could be really interesting. Especially with weekly-monthly updates on the progress of those experiments.

[@Biolo-G_KJ]

Nice, I was wondering how you were doing. I would like to see videos on: -how did you set up your business? -how did you reach out to sellers? -how do you efficiantly propogate as many plants as possible? Per plant spec.

[@papichulo4108]

I’d love to learn about the fastest way to grow plants emersed, my Bacopa is just growing very slow and hasn’t filled in/exploded like the water wisteria I have has.

[@fossthinker]

good to see you again bro, keep making video again

[@kevinchristoforou1519]

Plant propagation area setup. What to buy, why, how to set it up, how to keep on top of it, how to grow efficient yields. Plenty of vids out there on tank setup, mushroom builds, very few on actual dedicated plant growing areas.

[@joemicheleaquatic]

Looking forward to new content. I had a small operation selling on eBay. I stopped after I moved, but hope to start again. I only sold s. repens, but made a couple hundred a month and thought about expanding to other species.

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Thats awesome! S repens is a great one and very popular. If you expand I would do so carefully. A few species at a time and really dial those in before expanding. Also, just an FYI, I had to restart my membership system from scratch due to a technical issue. I saw you had just joined. You will be refunded for that. You'll need to rejoin if you are still interested in that.

[@ejfishes7610]

Welcome back! I’m very curious as to what 5-10 plants you’re ultimately going to decide on and your tips on those species ( I realize your still thinking that through). Once decided, was it due to there ease of propagation, high volume sellers etc. Also, what changes in propagation methods did you tweak? Thank you!

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Thanks for the great suggestions for content! Ill try to work these ideas into upcoming videos! 🌱

[@barefootaquatics]

So glad to have you back!!! I’d love some tips on controlling mold outbreaks in bins and how to properly clean plants when moving from mold covered bins to fresh bins. I’m honestly not even sure it’s mold. Not fuzzy at all. Just a milky white film covering everything.

[@steventruong55]

What lights do you use to grow your plants?

[@romancharak3675]

Adding the tremendous responsibility of employees is truly frightening. I was an employer decades ago. I wish continued success with your endeavors.

[@mattriggs.aquaria]

Wish you the best Will! Keep up the good work.

[@CGJ219]

timelapses of plants post propogation would be cool to see the complete cycle condensed but also to give context of the time required based on diffent methods/fert schedule/substrates

[@fredgerard7375]

I am so glad to have you back, I learned so much from you... and I have been in the aquarium hobbit for 30 years. You opened a new door, I am looking at plants in a different way. I have 30+ aquariums, my hobbit is to reproduce fish, not plants, and suddenly you appeared, and BOOM all my tanks have plants that I have been growing because of you! You truly have been an example in this hobbit. So, many you tube channels... same content, same info, copied each others, they are out of fresh ideas... but you are a bubble of fresh air with a different and great quality content. Welcome back!

[@senko8534]

I have missed Your content! Glad you are back again!

[@RunningWaterPlants]

Glad to see you are back! You have inspired me to propagate my own aquarium plants and I hope I can sell them one day too. Looking forward to whatever content you decide to make for us.

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Its a great hobby and can turn into a great side hustle or even full time business! Thanks for following along. Lots of content to come! 🌱

[@abcdefo]

Excited to see the future of your channel and business. Found you through youtube, bought loads of plants over the past couple months. Quality is unmatched and I'm sure some will be disappointed in less supply. BUT as someone who found you on here, this is one of your strongest advertising outlets. Its also free, and has the potential to pay you! Do what makes you happiest while giving you the best QoL. Looking forward to whats next!

[@garageaquatics2023]

Makes good sense, Will. Fastest, best selling, easiest to grow plants. The “bread and butter” plants. Best of luck with the scaling. Videos from the business perspective: marketing, logistics, packing and shipping equipment and materials,etc. ~Ron

[@DanielHempelman]

Aside from my lfs, you are the only one I have purchased plants from. All the plants I got from you are thriving while most of what I have bought locally have struggled and died. That is despite my delivery being delayed en route with the crowdstrike hack. I got water wisteria, ludwigia repens, staurogyne repens, and red root floaters. Most of the floaters died because of the delay but the remaining ones have bounced back and are multiplying like crazy. I think you are doing well as far as quality is concerned. Can't wait to see the new content.

[@palimike83]

Love you man! Glad to hear you setting healthy boundaries and can't wait to see the new content!

[@rachelrevels5552]

Cant wait to see where you take it from here, we love and support you all the way!

[@C-Hirsuta]

I am interested in a deep dive into fertilizers, especially if you can get into plant science, chemistry, and the "why" as well as the "how." I am also interested in seeing the business plan laid out on paper. Also, I am very glad that you are back!

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Definitely have videos planned on nutrients and water chemistry. I’ve changed things significantly in that area! I’ll also be making content on the business side of things. Though that is changing!

[@panaque]

This is great! I'm in the Seattle area too and got a lot of inspiration from your channel. Looking forward to seeing more content and tips. Anything on algae prevention in propagation, cloning tips, pest prevention, what works for you. DIY stuff in the hobby is so great to pass along, we are saving many species along the way, so it's great to see people sharing their successes. Wishing you the best in your endeavors

[@ryanmccann9653]

Pls just start sharing all that knowledge that you have learned these past few years on growing plants. Thanks.

[@TheTrueMitch]

Happy to see you posting again! I was honestly happy with your old content. It was nice to see content from the emmersed side of the plants for profit business. Ive been selling plants since 2016, i sell 95% floating plants/underwater grown. I've come to the same conclusion as you recently about focusing on just a few plants. At one point i was selling close to 40 and now im down to only 3 to 6 available at a time and i struggle to keep those in stock. Hope the new changes gives you some free time back. Looking forward to the next video!

[@Agnus78]

I waited for new content from you. I even wrote you on your page. Do whatever is good for you - life is short, there should be some amount of fun in it. Ideas for content: + Plants propagation with or without ventilation? I know you prefer high humidity but what about algae? I struggle with it without vent holes. Soils keeps soaked with water within months. + In-depth fertilization method - aquarium ferts or home plants ferts? + Soil - basic dirt or something underneath of it? Like manure, solid state fert balls or something? + Insects, like fungus gnats - i struggle with a lot of them and i think their larvae damage plants. They are in dirt and i dont know how to fight them without resorting to pesticides. + Do you reset your containers from time to time or just keep them clean and use ferts to counter soil's nutrients depletion? + All of my moss containers died. Maybe this topic could use an update/refresh? The same for carpeting plants. I didnt have any success even with your tutorial.

[@papichulo4108]

Let’s gooo super excited I’m ready to learn 😎☝️

[@aquasquare]

Hi, it's great to have you back! Sharing your knowledge would be really helpful for many of us

[@stefan00123]

Hi will, Glad to see you back on the screen after a very long time. I hope you're doing well also with the business. Hope you will have a great day! With love from the Netherlands Stefan

[@allardbax1156]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Its valuable. I feel where you are. I am a plant grower too.. :)

[@jhsumatt]

Great to hear the story man. Started growing some of my own stuff for personal use cause if you. Excited for the future.

[@deltoid4]

I am a long term fish owner, also shrimp breeder and plecs, lately I sell a fair amount of plants on Ebay UK. It pays for nice food for my fish and a small amount of pocket change so save. I have been thinking of expanding, however I grow all my plants submersed in my aquariums, and I keep seeing people grow emersed for profit etc. I primarily sell Christmas moss, subbwassertang and recently guppy grass sold so quick I sold out and almost ran out in my aquariums. So any decent advice from an experienced grower and seller like yourself is useful. To ask a simple question though, is emersed growth the best/quickest? and do people complain of plants melting when they finally are placed in aquariums?

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Great idea for a few weeks or however long it will take you to have a fertilizer showdown!!! To make it easier for us to see what happens if you do something that would have a lot of people interested in seeing ⁶

[@user-el7wr3on5r]

I've been waiting for more content from you. Can't wait! Love everything you've done. Let's see some hydroponics techniques crossing into the aquarium world!

[@amaluddinhaiqal3966]

Yeayy u r back my man. I need knowledge from u

[@BM-fw4xt]

Look forward to watching your content in the near future.

[@reedlinares]

Great plan. I'm all in to support you through membership. Great content.

[@TheSnakeOil]

Great to see you! Looking forward to your new content. Idea for a new video: you mentioned you’ve learned so much over the course of the last year. Looking back at your previous videos, what information or strategies would you update? 🌱

[@WatermelonJiki]

It’s been a great ride, thanks for the memories, the channel will be missed coming into 2025 but sometimes that’s just the way it is. Take care!

[@AquariumPlantLab]

@@WatermelonJiki I’m confused 😂, the channel is not going anywhere. Content is in the works!

[@chamalsachin]

Thanks for, you are back... ❤❤❤

[@mayukhbera]

Great to see you back!

[@owenlarson07366]

Content ideas: 1.) Lay out the whole business on paper. Profit/Loss, sales, marketing etc, focusing on the actual economics of starting a small business in “plants” but also gives to a way to transition the brand into being about adventures in business instead of tied to one market in case you hit a plateau (although the channel name is a little limiting :-) 2.) Adventures in Tissue Culture. (Including step 1) 3.) Travel to other aquatic farms & o interviews/learn 4.) Deep dives on individual species. Place of origin. First time it appeared in the hobby. Sustainability. How to grow it successfully. FAQ’s. - Good luck!

[@cheffress]

Good to see you back! Before you drop each product line, can you do a deep dive on how to look after that plant including propagation, lighting requirements, suitable/unsuitable fish and general care.

[@AnnePenny-u5e]

Nice video! Good plan, Will!!!

[@MoxOwl]

welcome back....new to this, can't wait to learn more from u

[@truecrab8731]

Hello and welcome back, thought we wouldn't see any more of you. I have a video suggestion or a question: How do you clean and pack e.g. java fern grown in soil? In my case, the roots have grown right through the soil and I find it extremely difficult to remove or clean them. Do you have a simple suggestion here?

[@kevinchristoforou1519]

Please do a video on what species you decided to stick with and why. I'm going to guess it's plants that grow easily and reliably that people still want to buy, I'm wondering what they are

[@C-Hirsuta]

I am also very interested in an update on your anubias techniques!

[@AquariumPlantLab]

I don't propagate anubias anymore. Ill have a video discussing this in the future!

[@toma1599]

Congrats on turning a profit, definitely something to be proud of

[@Santos-ql7fh]

Hello, I'm Charles from India I'm your new follower Thank you for coming back

[@joemicheleaquatic]

Welcome back!

[@jeejvee]

Maybe a video on pest & weed control in the emersed setup. Of fertilization methods

[@AquariumPlantLab]

What specifically have you had issues with?

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Blessings on your Journey of Love

[@jamildabbagh4337]

I'd like to see your propagation techniques for crypts and echinodorous

[@addinirahman91]

welcome back, can't wait to see your next videos 😆

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Thank you!! 😁

[@EsteGlez]

What’s the best way to get potassium in my aquarium, is it possible to over dose it?

[@rosie2155]

Any tips on algae control on plants would be very helpful.

[@notatopyoutuber]

Maybe you should automate water spray irigation. Those lids you open manualny and sprinkle it

[@ranjanty]

Don't go into to much debt. As far as making video do like Peter Chan does on Herons Bonsai. He films while he works and talks as he goes explaining what he is doing. I think it's a brilliant method. May work well for you and I hope it does.👍

[@tracys.6033]

Good luck!

[@RAJKUMARSHOREY]

Want to know about weeping moss how to grow & lot of thanks that you come back after long time keep going ///////////from india

[@danijelhorvat6251]

Keeping bins healthy, algae and mold-free is a challenge, to be honest. Maybe that's an idea for one of the videos.

[@احمدالقريشي-و5ع]

Do you use liquid fertilizers

[@mattriggs.aquaria]

Content: Maybe plant varieties applied to certain scapes, environments, situations.

[@JHASH_PETS]

thank god you are back

[@jeejvee]

What about a species information related video, I mean what parameters do they like, where do they come from in the world how does their “habitat” look, what other plants fit in that location

[@byz513]

Anubias &/or crypts pleaaaasseeeeee

[@joeybab3]

Ill watch anything you put out as long as its not KZbin shorts lmao

[@randalljohnston4508]

Your amazon link is broken

[@AquariumPlantLab]

Thanks should be fixed now! I will be updating that page very soon. That page will be changing significantly.

[@byz513]

And you're a poet, And didnt know it

[@byz513]

See you next year? 😂😄

[@lsky911]

Your size is too small for an online business. Just a couple large orders, the whole bin will be gone, and you have to wait for months to grow them to a sellable size again. You need at least x10 this size, so keep small and make video is the way to go.

[@aquariumplantman]

Awesome, great to have you back 🌱

[@AquariumPlantLab]

More to come!

[@jonisolis9645]

Do what you love the most! I wish you the very best! Share your knowledge and joy of doing what you do best!🪴🐟🪴🐟 I want to see what works the best for you and what is best for busy people to grow plants and do well with their aquariums! Wishing you the very best!

[@madracer2739]

Добрый день. Я из России , просмотрел много твоих роликов о растениях и сам начал этим заниматься с лета 2024 года. Также как ты высаживаю растения в контейнеры под освещением на стеллажах . На данное время у меня 5 стеллажей с разными растениями , на которых расположил 50 контейнеров . И у меня возникли вопросы , почему у меня стали расти в контейнерах водоросли разных видов , кроме этого в них завелись какие -то мошки . Если ты сам сталкивался с подобным , расскажи из своей практики , как ты избавлялся от этой гадости , если такое возникало ?
