I appreciate how you narrate your videos. You talk clearly and get right to the point with the objectives/goals of the video. I find many TH-cam DIY videos have a lot of unnecessary, introductory chatter.
I did the old, 1 gallon betta bowl + peace lily combo for 15 years & the fish lived between 2-4 years each. I only had one that didn't make it 3 months because he'd been struggling since I got him from the store. I interacted with my fish every other day or so in order that they didn't end up neglected. The peace lilies exploded with growth - no substrate except smooth stone & glass pebbles. They just love the fish water. The bettas would swim up in my hand & gently nibble & play around my fingers. They loved their flaring mirror too for exercise. I recently upgraded to a 9 gallon tank & the current guy (no experience in the bowl for him) just hangs around in a 1 gallon area anyway. /shrug He's got some snail & shrimp buddies hanging out in the rest of the tank that he doesn't bother. ^^
Brilliant upload, I breed Betta fish and have Peace Lily’s in all of my 20 gallon grow out tanks. I’m always looking for better ways to care for my plants and fish. Excellent channel.
Thank you for this video. Incredibly addition to my knowledge. I m beginner in live aquarium. Pls more videos on water plants and algae eating shrimps etc…!
I put the roots in water, they didn't grow much. I put them in substrate and growing well submerged, one plant is reaching out to the surface. I think it gets best light.
Fact: A peace lily fully emerged and planted into the substrate will live and thrive, grow, pearl, and be an amazing filtration source for several months before wilting. Just replace the plant every few months if you don't want all that foliage growing out of the back and interfering with the light source
Andrew, Thanks for these videos. They have convinced us to try a Peace Lily in a 75-gallon tank. For the third way you listed to grow it, how do you mount it in the tank to keep them from moving or falling?
You can use a rubber coated gear tie to wrap around the lily and hook it to the tank rim. Or this is a good product too👉 Support Peace Lily in Aquarium! Poth-O-Carry LILY HOLDER #riparium #plantedtank #fishtank th-cam.com/users/shortsiszsTHLPBEk?feature=share
I hear it’s best to trim off all roots that were grown in soil when moving them into water. Have you tried that method? Is it better than letting established roots rot in the tank? Thank you
Great video! I randomly came across a riparium video where there was a peace lily on top. It was interesting because I happen to have a mature peace lily that I'm growing in water. So I wanted to look for more videos that have peace lily or even other plants in aquarium and your channel has really great videos explaining these matters. Keep up the great work!!
Excellent video however i have experimented at took it 1 step further and grew the same lily plant fully submerge underwater in my aquarium with no die off from leaves
Can you please try to do that with a Calla, Zantedeschia. It looks to be part of the same family, but as it looks fancier I would guess that it went through some selection and cultivation. Also it comes in a very large variety of colour and you can match it with the colour of your fish.
@@plantlifeproject TIL what a riparium is and it is exactly what I would like to have at home 😊 Also I’ve been looking in to growing orchids in water (it appears to be complicated ) but also orchids in a terrarium. I was wondering if there is a peace of wood sticking out of the riparium anyway, maybe an orchid can benefit from the evaporating water without necessary touching the water. I’ll be definitely waiting for a calla video. Thanks 😊
@@lucieciepka1031 you can grow phaelanopsis moth orchids in water. I have one growing in greenhouse tank in a basket planter with lava rock and moss halfway in the water but you could definitely grow it on a branch like you are describing though it may need to be wrapped onto the branch with sphagnum moss ?

Question: in my tank i added Peace Lilys that has 5 flowers. i notices a white power on the leaves. then i realized its pollen coming from the flowers. Will this bother the fish or is it no big deal?
Yes they can. I have a peace lily planted about 6 inches under water in the tank substrate for over 2 years now and doing great. All leaves are above water except some new small leaves but they eventually grow up and out of the water.
Outstanding information. I was wondering if I need lighting above the peace lily be used currently I have a led light bar that come goes across the tank about three to four inches from my glass top.
Hello! I just saw this and your video on maximising growth of pothos in an aquarium. They were very informative. Do you use any liquid fertilisers in your aquarium?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! I do not use liquid fertilizer. The Pothos roots grow quickly and reach the substrate where they can have an abundance of nutrients! It is ok to use liquid fertilizer, I just prefer not to if it is not necessary.
Is the wire you use to hang the plants a special type? I looked for something strong enough to hold a decent sized peace lily, but most plant ties I found are similar to trash bag wire ties.
In this video, the peace lilies are growing in a planter basket which hangs on the back of the tank with plastic hooks that I got from IKEA AND I spray painted them black with Krylon fusion black matte finish. They are also available on Amazon, here’s a link. www.amazon.com/SUNNERSTA-kitchen-hookxFF0C-Hooks-PcsxFF0C/dp/B01LSLEMO4 Hope this helps you!

Great video. I have a question, i have a peace lily for a year now in my aquarium, it is growing nicely but i have 0 flowers coming out from about 2 months after it was put in. Basicly i hvae only leaves growing. Any ideas why?
It will not necessarily be flowering all of the time. Mine usually flower for a few months in spring and then the rest of the year they are only leaves.
Brilliant idea on the baskets, I've been growing pothos in my tank for a couple of years, but they are not manageable. Where did you get the plastic grid from? Thanks!
@@plantlifeproject Thanks, can't find black in Canada, unless you try Amazon, a little pricey though. HD carries white 2 X 4 which will be just fine. Now I have to look for easter lily, which should not be a problem. Cheers.

Sometimes trimming may be needed but I try to keep it to a minimum, only trimming roots that are actually in the way. This will not hurt the plants, just avoid heavy root pruning .
It's not unusual for them to go through a transition time as they adapt to water. during which time the leaves may wilt, some may die off as well as some roots but you should start seeing new roots and leaves beginning to grow after a few weeks
Hello much thanks for your advice and videos. I planted peace lilies , althought its growing new leafs the leafs keep getting black tips with yellow borders and eat infinitely into the leaf. Any idea whats wrong? My pothos and chinese evergreen is not doing this
When roots “drown” it’s because of a lack of oxygen. When peace Lily is growing in the water, the roots can grow down into the substrate and still get the oxygen they need in the water. And will not grow into areas of substrate where no oxygen is available
This video gives the details about the planter that the peace lily is growing in 🐟🪴Window box Planter HOUSEPLANT WATER FILTER 🪴🐟 th-cam.com/video/DlLwRmuVm6M/w-d-xo.html It came from Lowes home improvement store
It can be helpful but not absolutely necessary. If the room temperature stays above 65F, it should be fine. I have heaters in some peace lily tanks but not in all and the plants are growing well in both.
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble, Peace lily is usually an easy plant to grow in water. what are your growing conditions? light, water and container, nutrients, etc?
@@plantlifeproject aquarium mature water is being used,indirect sunlight, and no fertilizers just fish poop,first lilly wilted a bit left it for a day or to and it started to rot and died
It sounds like good growing conditions , Does the aquarium that you are growing the peace lily in have air pump or water pump of some kind? What about water hardness?
@@plantlifeproject an air pump with air stone,small water pump for circulation,water is a little bit on harder side, I can see white line on aquarium glass
These are good growing conditions. You may consider experimenting with Peace lily in smaller jars, each one being in a different part of the building, maybe use fertilizer in one , different light levels, etc. Try to vary the conditions with each jar. Over time this may give you more information about what your plants need in your specific location.
To my knowledge they are safe , I’ve never grown peace lily with koi but I would have no hesitation, personally. The only thing I would be concerned about is the fish possibly eating the roots. This video 👉th-cam.com/video/qG_pSlXQN-0/w-d-xo.html may give you some ideas for protecting the roots if you want to try it out.

Low to medium light is fine, just nothing intense like direct sunlight
@@plantlifeproject thats perfect! Thank you 😁
I tried using peace Lilly but they never survived in the water for me what might be the problem, sir, please reply
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble, Peace lily is usually an easy plant to grow in water. what are your growing conditions? light, water and container, nutrients, etc?
@@plantlifeproject aquarium mature water is being used,indirect sunlight, and no fertilizers just fish poop,first lilly wilted a bit left it for a day or to and it started to rot and died
It sounds like good growing conditions , Does the aquarium that you are growing the peace lily in have air pump or water pump of some kind? What about water hardness?
@@plantlifeproject an air pump with air stone,small water pump for circulation,water is a little bit on harder side, I can see white line on aquarium glass
These are good growing conditions. You may consider experimenting with Peace lily in smaller jars, each one being in a different part of the building, maybe use fertilizer in one , different light levels, etc.
Try to vary the conditions with each jar. Over time this may give you more information about what your plants need in your specific location.
Can I use it in koi fish tank are they safe?
To my knowledge they are safe , I’ve never grown peace lily with koi but I would have no hesitation, personally. The only thing I would be concerned about is the fish possibly eating the roots. This video 👉th-cam.com/video/qG_pSlXQN-0/w-d-xo.html may give you some ideas for protecting the roots if you want to try it out.
