The length of your plant videos is perfect. For us beginners, it covers all the common questions we have and tells us the level of difficulty. Really liked the content and entire presentation. Thanks!
I really enjoy this idea and type of video. My only opinion is that maybe near the end, you should put up some quick “to recap” facts on the screen. Like “lighting requirements, root feeder or column feeder, substrate, etc.”
This is literally my favorite plant! I've been working on growing a carpet of this in my 45. I actually discovered the plant through your videos way back when, so it's super nice to have a feature on it!!!
Like the new format, & as far as being long winded is only because your passionate about your hobby. As well as many of us are so need to apologize for it. Just do what do best.👍👊😎
Great that you are going to make these plant videos again! I initially found your channel through one of them a year or two ago. Stayed hooked ever since! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the moving process.
I found this plant at PetSmart and really liked it, but couldn't get it to grow. Then I heard Cory say that it needed hard water. I had been diluting my water down to 80ppm. I got new plants and put them in my livebearer tank with 325ppm tap water and it took off. One thing though, this plant comes from the same genus as the herb patchouli (pogostemon cablin). That means that it must really taste good, because vegetarian fish love to nibble on it. Another interesting thing. When I first planted it, it melted until there was only a liny little tuft of leaves left with almost no stem. These floated around for a while then started sending down roots, so, as long as there is even a tiny bit of green left ( about the size of a duckweed plant), you still can get your plant to grow. PS. In Laos they call it Downoi, which means "little star", and it is often sold by that name on eBay.
My favorite youtuber gonna do spotlights on all his plants (which are freaking awesome! Got a lot of my plants because of your videos on your tanks) keep up the good work!
I've got some in my 30 long scape. It sat still doing nothing (I guess growing roots) for months and I was about to give up on it... but not long ago it exploded and spread like crazy. It's really unique looking. I have it in the foreground next to my monte carlo carpet.
Aquapros I believe you have bamboo and pathos in some of your tanks and filters. If I can make a suggestion for you and everyone else try using a Spider Plant the roots will grow and look amazing in the tank. Also I believe spider plants are good for filtering the air in your house.
Keep em coming! Love the informative videos! It would be good if you could demonstrate how to actually trim each plant? Do you just cut them anywhere and they grow back looking good or do you cut them at certain points to keep it healthy? I'd find this helpful! Cheers!
I really like this video. The length was good as there is a lot of info, how it grow for you, Coby and the Coop’s struggles (I am up by him so have the same issue).
Great Video, no do not cut down, more information is better. I have hard water so I will be trying this out. Co2 is most definitely helping, not a plant I would try without it. Love the aquarium, it actually does look like a desert.
This plant looks really beautiful & make your scape looks awesome... Was looking for information on this plant buy dint know its name. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Oh yeah, I also HEARD that you can bury a few coral chips in the root zone of this plant and even if the water is low in kH the plant can do well. I have not try this myself but seen excellent example of it.
I bought them in a sealed plastic cup on the shelves of my LFS for 7.99$ CAD. There was about 10 stems in it. They grow pretty well in a 10G with black sand over organic soil. Using amazon Nicrew light
I really like the look of that plant, but I have super soft water. 😞 I love videos that are around 10 minutes long because I watch them while I walk (yes, I do sometimes walk into walls! 😂). I am absolutely in love with those red nerites! Great video!
I think the video can be slightly smaller as you are gonna post about a plant often. Also see if you can make a Plant Specs chart or a plate, where you mention its Hardness, fertiliser need, light need all sort of those things in a Still image also, So that for better recall people can take screenshot of it too, Also you can have the informal discussion about it keeping it crisp.
I got a couple of questions, so I just recently made myself a freshwater aquarium filling it with dwarf hairgrass. Would using an API CO2 Booster be different than using a CO2 tank for your aquarium in a case like mine? If so, how different? Also I got some yellow water in my aquarium recently after creating my aquarium, how frequent should I be changing the water or should I do it at all...
I've bought 2 different batches of the in vitro tissue kind and both have melted heavily when planted and a couple weeks later some come back alive. Is this normal for the plant as it doesn't happen with any other of my plants that I plant?
Wait when are you moving again? I'm moving in October are you doing it before then? It would be nice to watch you go through the process before I do :3 also loving the idea of weekly plant videos.
This plant can be Difficult without co2 in combination with tanks that are 2 feet deep or more... My channel is lowtech and I LOVE TALL aquariums. But I really want to be successful with this one. I really like it. Good video as usual. Miss this scape. You imagination are incredible bro.
The first time my liquid rock water from SoCal is useful!!! Haha my newest tank I was going to make a low tech tank wit a Marimo moss carpet but now I’m interested in using this plant and some new things I bought at a fish store sale because I won son nice jade green shrimp
I need help! I have been researching about pea puffers and I don't know whether to get a 5 gallon tank for one pea puffer or should I get 10 gallon and have 2 or 3? Anyone with good advice please help?! I want a pp soo bad but I don't know much about them yet, just want to make sure I have more knowledge before I have a live animal in the mix!

Can pogostemon be grown emersed?
I really enjoy this idea and type of video. My only opinion is that maybe near the end, you should put up some quick “to recap” facts on the screen. Like “lighting requirements, root feeder or column feeder, substrate, etc.”
Seems like a good plan, once a week video on plants. 10 minutes works for me. Most folks can find 10 mins a week to check out plants I would think.
This is literally my favorite plant! I've been working on growing a carpet of this in my 45. I actually discovered the plant through your videos way back when, so it's super nice to have a feature on it!!!
Mike, I've been in the hobby for 25 years...... I love this tank! So cool. Can't wait to see the 125 revival. Good luck with the move.

Glad to see that your spotlight videos are back. I really enjoyed them.
Never even thought about length of your videos just always enjoyed them
I’ve been searching for information on this plant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Coulda watched another 5 mins. I really like that plant. I always thought it looked like mini palm trees.
I was just talking with my friend about using little star for his dutch aquascape. great timing haha
My favorite youtuber gonna do spotlights on all his plants (which are freaking awesome! Got a lot of my plants because of your videos on your tanks) keep up the good work!
Good timing on this, as I've been thinking about adding this plant to one of my tanks. Long format means good content, keep cranking em out.
The longer and more info the better I think. Great video Mike. Good luck with the move. Have a great one.

Love the shape of this plant. Keep the plant of the week idea going, love it. 🤙

That’s a really cool plant, I just finished my 6 gallon planted aquarium which inhabits a betta. Love your videos
Nice job. Beautiful plant, and a awesome red snail! Just the right amount of time.
Nice!! Just set up a new tank on my channel. Will be doing weekly updates. No filter, no ferts, no heater, no co2!
Everything is perfect. I definitely like this new segment. Keep up the awesome job
I think you done great I like videos that are not rushed and that have good information
Please keep doing a plant profile every week, even if it's super short or super long.
Just bought 2 pots of this, looks beautiful.
I really like this video. The length was good as there is a lot of info, how it grow for you, Coby and the Coop’s struggles (I am up by him so have the same issue).

This plant looks really beautiful & make your scape looks awesome...
Was looking for information on this plant buy dint know its name.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I like the idea of plant profiles! Maybe 5-8 minutes? I learn about so many new plants & species through this type of thing! Thanks!
Good video, lots of good info and ideas--length was good for me. Thanks!!
Like the new format for plant videos. One suggestion, include the region plants come from for those that like to do biotope aquascapes.
they look like succulent. One of my favourite plant
Great idea.... more people need live plants!
Very nice video. .thx for your explanaitions. .go on. .it' s the right way
Thank you for everything you do for us.
Oh yeah, I also HEARD that you can bury a few coral chips in the root zone of this plant and even if the water is low in kH the plant can do well. I have not try this myself but seen excellent example of it.

"Ill try to make the video not 10+ mins, like youtube likes it" *posts 12 min vid
dat b0i let's be honest, we all checked the run time of the video when he said that
Sometimes I like to set up 1-2.5 gallon tanks of all one plant to carpet then a floater. I did that with microsword and frogbit and got it to carpet
Awesome! Now that I finally have some money for plants, deciding what I want is a STRUGGLE! I'm gonna love this series. :D
I like this idea - Thanks Mike 💕👍
So cool! Love the plant. I may have to get some in the future for one of my tanks!
I really like the look of that plant, but I have super soft water. 😞
I love videos that are around 10 minutes long because I watch them while I walk (yes, I do sometimes walk into walls! 😂).
I am absolutely in love with those red nerites! Great video!
Cool video ! & at the next house you should get a 100+ gallon aquascaped tank. Like a natural tank! Would be pretty dope
Good luck on your move👊👊

Mike. Did you treat those worm castings? Or use them right from the bag? I forget sorry.
Good length video. Maybe just a touch long. Thank you for the info! Been wanting to try this plant.
Awsome video sir thanks. Happy fishkeeping
Great video! You should consider doing weekly or monthly plant clipping giveaways.
I got a couple of questions, so I just recently made myself a freshwater aquarium filling it with dwarf hairgrass.

Thanks
Great vid ty... length was fine.
I love pogostemon helferi but it hates being moved. Very fragile as well but well worth its beauty and sometimes very difficult to find
AGENTSIXTY9 not really .as long as its in the same aquarium ,it has no prob being moved
I've bought 2 different batches of the in vitro tissue kind and both have melted heavily when planted and a couple weeks later some come back alive. Is this normal for the plant as it doesn't happen with any other of my plants that I plant?
Perfect idea!
learned a lot... this is nice.... keep up bruh 😊😊😊😊😊
great content and length..You do you

What software do you use to put together your videos?
Length of video is good but I think u can cut down a minute or two if you want. I also have this one in my tank. Love your videos...
Great video and plant...
I always thought this was a rosette plant but I guess its a stem plant after all!
How many tc's did you get for that tank? I want to get some for my 90 gal. Wondering how many little tubs to get.
The first time my liquid rock water from SoCal is useful!!! Haha my newest tank I was going to make a low tech tank wit a Marimo moss carpet but now I’m interested in using this plant and some new things I bought at a fish store sale because I won son nice jade green shrimp
When u did this plant did u do the dry start method to start it off?
I like longer videos
It's more jungle than desert tank now.
Can this plant be attached to rock or wood ?
I thought you were gonna say “we are doing a new format called PLANT” and just say plant 😂
Can you make a video on how to maintain the ph of the water for the aquarium and the hardness and which water we should use for planted tank
I got 10stems coming in 2to3days!!! I ordered from pearling plants
Hello from Malaysia. Love your video. Just wanna ask you how did you put a stone on another without falling
Betta Channel I think he used hot glue to affix the stone before putting it in the tank :))
Cool, i did not know thoose existed
Got a problem in my aquarium. All plants are covered in dust type algae so they grow in length because the bottom leafs die off :(
Yay! I like this idea
I need help! I have been researching about pea puffers and I don't know whether to get a 5 gallon tank for one pea puffer or should I get 10 gallon and have 2 or 3? Anyone with good advice please help?! I want a pp soo bad but I don't know much about them yet, just want to make sure I have more knowledge before I have a live animal in the mix!
what light do you have on that tank ?
Oh and amazing video keep up the good work
THANKS!
Mr Fantastico love the vids
So, I have a sagittaria trifolia plant, can it be grown underwater? I can’t find that information on google.
What is this striped fish? 2:10
do you use co2?
Thanks
Can it grow on stone?
Love the plant overview. Not really something I see a lot. Keep it up.
Awesome😍
Mine won't stay anchored in my sand substrate.
I could not find the "desert hawks".
One of my favorite with good maintance and light, l lost it, all of them =(
love the vid
Great vid,. Hope mine does as well for me!
Cheers,
Chris
I like Blixa
No wonder mine died. Soft water.
Well,having Co2 and no fish really visible does help.
Cactuses at cool.
i have the perfect substrate perfect light CO2 Ferrets and it melts away with in 3 or 4 days
i have tried it it in both soft and hard water and no go
ei dose it , with gh booster
also use strong light
ca to mg ration 4:1 would help
also this plant loves strong red/blue light !
What happened to this series?
You should definitely do S. Repens next, I'm having trouble getting mine to grow in the way I want it to
Yak yak yak yak yak lol.
