Using indoor plants in aquariums is such an underrated thing in the hobby. I really recommend anyone with the space and lighting to try this out. I've kept aquariums like this for many years- nitrate is never a problem-- except sometimes you need to add nitrogen for the plants if your aquarium doesn't have a lot of fish. The house plants will guzzle the nitrogen and will show deficiency clearly if they aren't getting enough!
Lack of waterflow/oxygen is the usual cause of root rot. In an overwatered house plant, the water is sitting stagnant in a pot full of dirt. In the aquarium we're using different substrates, usually have a filter and it's not 15cm deep waterlogged dirt!
I was your biggest fan from the day one. You never dissapoint to emerse me to love your channel even more. Thank you for that. Your cinematography is still DOPE!
yes, a great video i was looking for! besides the perfect production quality (audio, voice, post,lighting) it has lovely examples and a clear to follow guide. a super simple plant i also keep in this way (even in a passive low tech aq) is epipremnum aureum, it can grow many meters long out of very small AQs, definitely great to make small flats look junglish!
Aquarium water is highly oxygenated comparative to a stagnant body of water, which is why house plants can handle submerged roots. I have a forest of peace lily, pothos and arrowleaf growing from my aquariums to the point where I consider the plants to the star of the show.
I have Pothos, Lucky Bamboo, Umbrella Plant and Gold Ribbon currently adorning the tops of my 55 gal aquarium. I just realized through your video that one of my potted house plants may do significantly better in my tank, so I’m going to hop on that. Thank you!
I love to experiment with emers (Aquaponic) growth. Peace-Lilly works great, Bamboo too. I got several experiments on my TH-cam Channel, too. But only in german language
I watch many videos in languages I don't know, including cooking, gardening, crafts - the translation works, and most of the time there are few words, anyway. Good luck!
I love it! And yeah its crazy seeing what you can grow in hydroponics. The craziest thing I've grown was a maple tree seed that I sprouted on a patch of moss, was lovely while I had it but I had to get rid of it because the nutrient drain on the tank was too high.
Hi . I love you channel. This is an amazing idea but i am worried about one thing tho...how do you sterilize the house plants before putting them in? Wouldnt they be carrying any pathogens that could harm your fishes
Amazing video as always. Just an important thing to notice: be careful with peace lilies around your cat. I'm sure you know this, but this info might be helpful for someone else watching the video. Source: I'm a vet 👨⚕️
I have a lowboy with pleeenty of different spiecies, most that you listed but my biggest joy is.. simple ferns that I bought for like 2 punds when they were 10cm tall and now they deeply rooted into the scape and are full sized plants:D Also my potte plants trive watered by water change left overs :) How you manage to keep that maiden hair though.. you must have a greener thumb XD
I am very fascinated by aquaponics and I practice it in my aquarium. I've been following you recently but I immediately fell in love with your concept of aquarium. it would be very useful to the community if I made a video in which you list which indoor plants are usable in addition to those already mentioned. also I would like to know your opinion on the use of orchids in aquaponics .... are they plants that could work? they have a truly spectacular root system. anyway, congratulations! you are truly a talent!
It depends if they can grow directly from the water or they need a substrate reaching it (coconut threads?). I heard some ferns cannot grow directly from water, but if they have some "buffer" substrate to root in, they fit in.
I saw, in a fish group on Facebook, where someone shared a photo of their orchid which had actually bloomed under the water. The entire plant was under. I was amazed. I don't know if it was a specific species, but it worked for them.
Putting plants in aquariums is easy, so many videos about this. Conveniently, you have failed to mention all the time you have spent designing the lighting systems for your aquariums. 99% of people with tanks do not have lights so high above the tank. Acting like this is super easy, is quite disingenuous.
hi, your video is very nice. I would like to know if you put your emerged plants directly with their roots in the water or if you adapt them? I would like to be inspired by your creations but the plants need, I think, to adapt to being permanently in water. what do you think?
I love this Chanel and your jungle style with the drift wood and plants coming out. I have started on my own large tank with with massive pieces of drift wood sticking out however I just has a dojo loach jump out of the tank. (The tank is in good parameters.) The emergent drift wood prevents a glass lid on either side of the light like I have on the rest of my tanks. I have thought about using mesh to go around the drift wood and emergent plants however I can't think of a way that wouldn't be a chore removing everytime. Do you or anyone have any suggestions for a lid?
Two other good plants I have found are the ''lucky bamboo'' and the spider plant. Currently I am using an old glass mixing bowl which I have banked soil up at the back and covered with gravel so it can't escape. The spider plant sits on top of some stones with the roots in the water but also in the soil while the lucky bamboo sits on the sandy bottom in front of the stone 'wall'. I don't have any fish but I do add houseplant fertilizer ever now and again and they are loving it. Since planting them both plants have doubled in size with the ''bamboo'' shooting out from extra nodes down the stems. I am hoping to get an aquarium to plant in, my problem is I don't want to use a heater so am limited in what fish I can use (would like to use rice fish but they aren't available here currently). But I think aquariums with both land and water plants in are probably the best ones, especially from the viewing point of view. Enjoyed this video as usual.
I have spider plants too. They are doing well in my unheated aquariums. I also pull some other plants from my country walks. They are doing well too. I don't really like the idea of plants growing out of the top as a lot of fish need tank lids because they jump out.
@@rosemarydudley9954 Apparently the solution is to just keep your water level a couple of inches below the top. I follow someone with something like 50 aquascaped aquariums which all have fish in them and none have lids on them. But he has also never lost any fish to jumping out of the tank, his solution is that while he has plenty of floating plants which probably helps he simply keeps the water level a couple of inches down from the top and it seems to solve the problem. He has beta fish in some tanks as well which seem to be the main offenders for most people but lots of other species as well. If you are interested the channel is MD Fish Tanks and you will see what I mean. He also has plants growing - deliberately - out of a couple of his tanks with others where the actual water plants are just growing on up out of the water. He has even scaped a tank in a local fish/aquarium shop where they put a lot of plants -spider plants/ peace lilies - growing out of the top to show customers how you can do it.
Salut merci pour cette vidéo ^^ Alors oui ses super intéressants cette culture et qui va m'aider à faire vivre mes plantes et cela m'intéresse beaucoup car je n'ai pas beaucoup de connaissances a ce sujet. Alors oui j'aimerais en savoir plus sur le sujet. Et merci pour ton travail t'es vidéos et le partage dans notre passion. A très vite pour une nouvelle vidéo. Bonne soirée
How u don't get any problems like planaria or hydra? Even if u wash the roots it still has some soil on it right? I mean that's how the planaria or hydra problem is caused?
Hydroponics does not mean standing water! Fish tanks and hydroponics are not related in any way. That means you need another tank for a water reservoir. Better off to do a shallow water tank with aquatic plants.
Sir when ever I grow house plants in aquarium the plants root little brown type in after 5,6 months but plants health is good but same when ever I grow same plants in normal tap water there roots never brown always white can you tell me why?
Hello. I just happened upon this video looking for a habitat for my Seven-Stripe Cichlids. I just love this video and concept. I am in my 70s and only 15 months into Fish Keeping. I will go out tomorrow and look for a taller Driftwood to anchor a few Plants to. I just can't tell you enough how excited I am about finding this video. Thank you. Blessings
I've seen things like Hygrophilla or Anubias growing out of water, I knew about houseplants being reproduced this way, but I didn't realize this is possible until few years ago. It's possible for basically any houseplant unless it's cactus. Nowadays there are companies, which make drip walls for aquariums (at least as a custom job). This is more impressive, esp. with Dark water natural scape. Overall a small aquarium looks much much bigger. There are multiple options to do this, with imagination being the limit: * using aquarium decoration (roots) * planted overhead/internal sump * plastic grid holding the plants * holder from a thick isolated wire * paludarium ... It's easier with open aquariums, but even pothos can grow from covered aquarium, if the humidity or jumpers are the issue. I'm careful with this, but one guy had 26 aquariums at one point in his flat, often completely open and somehow he managed the humidity. I've got some pothos plants growing from my fish tanks, paludarium with submersed crypts and emerse anubis and Peace Lily, all growing well. I plant to move few of--shoots of the Peace Lily to my largest tank, it helps I'm not using glass, but polymer cover there.
Please can you give some more 8nfo about how long to dry out the roots and, the temperature of water you use to, get off the soil, and what fertilizer etc... Looks nice but whe are here to learn...,and not to experiment and think about out of the aquarium.. I hope you will teach here, and not only for show and coffee😁
This is not a scientific channel. Every aquarium is different. You won't learn everything from a video and that's not the point. I have many videos and you can find many more on youtube about aquariums. If you are really interested, do some research and try things out. That's the only way it works. It's an inspiration channel with ideas and information, whatever you like and need, go for it!
Thank you for your kind words. I think you should look around a bit more on my channel. There is more than one update video of working aquariums. I don't keep aquariums for years because there is no point. People always want new content and I can't maintain 100 aquariums... I don't bullshit, I always show the truth. This is mainly an inspirational channel with a nice atmosphere, I don't know why you are here. Peace!
I have been struggling with growing orchids or phalaenopsis and recently came across some information about growing them in tanks. I recently saved my large Orchid yesterday when I noticed signs of over-watering. I have it in filtered water I put a very small amount of potassium permanganate and, have it DWC since, since/ the light purple is gone now. but the air is bubbling till I can get something permanent. I live in upstate NY. and have baseboard heater apartment. I use evaporative humidifier and have Chicago hearty fig trees, a few dragon fruit, and a 5-gallon bucket of potatoes in my small place. I LOVE plants and gardening! Oh yeah I just started Goji berries from seed and garlic from bulb for next years crops also. Muy girlfriend has a nice lot. and we both compost! Love your videos!
I've got monstera and peace lily together in my tank, The roots look so lovely and the plant itself adds to the aesthetic and visual impact of the aquarium. Also, you can use rubber garden wire to hang plants on the side of the tank, if you don't have any hardscape to attach it on.
OMG you're a genius, thank you, I've been going nuts trying to get those airline tube suction cups around thin stems, trying to find enough of the fatter heater-sized ones - COATED GARDEN WIRE, why didn't I think of it!
@@voluntaryismistheanswer Thick ISOLATED wire used for 2000 V might be better. I've seen it used for a "cup" to hold Peace Lily. The copper needs to be isolated.
Using indoor plants in aquariums is such an underrated thing in the hobby. I really recommend anyone with the space and lighting to try this out. I've kept aquariums like this for many years- nitrate is never a problem-- except sometimes you need to add nitrogen for the plants if your aquarium doesn't have a lot of fish. The house plants will guzzle the nitrogen and will show deficiency clearly if they aren't getting enough!
Why not just use marginal plants, i.e pond plants?
I've always thought by doing this the roots will rot
Lack of waterflow/oxygen is the usual cause of root rot. In an overwatered house plant, the water is sitting stagnant in a pot full of dirt. In the aquarium we're using different substrates, usually have a filter and it's not 15cm deep waterlogged dirt!
YOU CAN TALK!?!? Nah just kiddin, perfect timing I was bored 😅🔥

"Think outside the aquarium" I like that. Mother nature is amazing
It’s about time someone showed the best way to add house plants
Great setting, production, quality and informative 👌🏿
yes, a great video i was looking for! besides the perfect production quality (audio, voice, post,lighting) it has lovely examples and a clear to follow guide. a super simple plant i also keep in this way (even in a passive low tech aq) is epipremnum aureum, it can grow many meters long out of very small AQs, definitely great to make small flats look junglish!
Hi sir good video 📹my name rohit Sharma India 🇮🇳
Another good reason to keep houseplants this way: no need to water them anymore! :) Great video as usual, thanks!
lol , i always kept it that way, while i kill plants in a soil pot, how ironic
Amazing
I find it so fascinating that over watering a potted plant kills it but this method many thrive. I currently have an orchid in water culture method.
Aquarium water is highly oxygenated comparative to a stagnant body of water, which is why house plants can handle submerged roots. I have a forest of peace lily, pothos and arrowleaf growing from my aquariums to the point where I consider the plants to the star of the show.
I have Pothos, Lucky Bamboo, Umbrella Plant and Gold Ribbon currently adorning the tops of my 55 gal aquarium. I just realized through your video that one of my potted house plants may do significantly better in my tank, so I’m going to hop on that. Thank you!

Peace-Lilly works great, Bamboo too.

Im come from Vietnam, like and subscribe your channel, waiting new video :))
Can you do a video talking about the pest that come along with this method and how to manage them! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Hi! Have you tried growing orchid above an aquarium? I have that idea for a while. Still brainstorming it :-) 😊
Your voice is amazing! Love the content of your channel too!😊
Lovely tank. I too use plants like this…. I love the nature corner in my house, it’s therapeutic value is immense 🇦🇺❤️
I’ve just started doing this and it’s incrediblw
Narrator voice, good teacher, great aquarist, definitely like!!!

Thanks for this! I am going to try and incorporate this concept with vampire crabs and turtles. Keep up the great work on the channel.
Can you use Leca as a media with houseplants in aquarium?

Greetings from Southern California USA. Great ideas/tips. I love your channel and content, make more vids please
Fantastic! Do you have a problem with fungus gnats?
Thanks for sharing!
Great work.
i thought hydroponics was adding chemicals to the water and what you are doing is quadraphonic ???
I just want to know who names all these plants. Such hard names sounds like Species of dinosaurs
I grew rice and lucky bamboo in my aquarium until I added a goldfish... Cryptocoryne can also be grown as a regular houseplant, by the way.
new sub just found your channel. Very inspiring, I'll be working on adding a monstera plant to my 125g tank this weekend!
What's the brand/model of the water spray bottle you are using?
Just what I need for my giant monstera...
Someone sent me this because I've been asking about growing a persimmon tree in my fish tank. Anyone know? According to this, maybe!

does this work in a high-tech tank? or do the emerged plants take the nutrition and/or CO2 benfits of the aquatic plants?
if I don't place fish in the aquarium, how to minimize mosquito larvae ?
Wait! AM I THE ONLY ONE HEARING A VOICE NARRATION IN THIS VIDEO?
How u don't get any problems like planaria or hydra? Even if u wash the roots it still has some soil on it right? I mean that's how the planaria or hydra problem is caused?

How many hours should I light an aquarium like this?
Wow..,one day I will be like you!!!😀✌️❤️
I would love to know more about the animal head on a stand. Where is it from? Can I purchase this from a store? Thanks!
I wanna try this. What lights do i need to use for those plants?
That's my problem, not enough windows

That is the most fabulous asparagus fern I ever did see. ❤ swwooooooon
This is how I have my tanks, with Peace lily, Monstera minima, Anthurium, Pothos, Creeping jenny, mint, all growing like crazy bursting out of them
Pięknie wygląda 👍.
Can I use a Calla? Zantedeschia is the Latin name. Do you think it can survive?
First time we hear you talking in the video (i think) hahahah. Great vid!!!
Does fertilizer need to be used to keep the bonsai alive? If so which one do you use? :)
Anyone know the pot brand for the ones with the legs @ 1:09 ? -thanks!
How You can putting the compost with fish tanks 👍
what about increased need to complement water level because of the aerial plants ?
Does it help to clean the water without external fertilization?
So pretty much any house plant is safe. Please, someone tell me❤
Спасибо за советы, очень ценим:)
awesome! but a lot of these methods you can't keep a lid on the tank though
Cantiknya 🌿❤
Hi! How are you?
October has begun. It's getting winter.
I wish you good health and good things this week as well.
Thank you very much.
Very informative and inspiring
In certain ways, the roots in the tank are most attractive to watch.
Hi zou je ook mos uit je eigen tuin kunnen gebruiken?

Stunning idea !!!!! Love it!!!! 😍😍
you removed your wood log tank????😭

Aquarium liquid ferts or if there are a lot of fish enough of their pollution.
