This video is such informative and love the way the Lizzie has explained it so patiently and calm tone, have been gaining more interest in making a planted aquarium.
Everyone at ACO are awesome ACO is my go to place for all my aquarium supplies and plants sadly I live in Long Beach California or that's where I would get my fish too
Very helpful video. I'd like to know a few basic things that are not covered: 1) Some of my moneyworts came in pots from a LFS with some wooly material in the basket...should I remove them before plating in gravel? 2) What floating plants can is better for moderate light (no special lighting requirement) and will NOT be sucked into the HOB filters? Many thanks! Liked and Saved.
Great informational video , I would suggest that if you want to tie your plants to rocks or wood use plastic tie wraps I had no luck with fishing line and I do not like the idea of superglue in my aquarium
Huh this is why circling back on basics is always good to hear I totally forgot about the crown coverage of root plants ie rosette or crypt like species, makes me wonder if this is why I have faced melt here and there in the past not noticing how deep I may have plunge them down into the aquasoil!!!... 🤔 hmm could be!
I've been watching your videos on aquarium plants with great enthusiasm and even though I keep tropical fish, I am not into live plants. I do know a little bit about gardening, and, one question I would like to ask the plants in the aquarium -- are they affected much by PH when photosynthizing or taking in nutrients. I know some plants have problems taking in nutrients at certain PH. The one I know best is maganese, plants suffer problems taking in maganese nutrition with anything above 6.5 PH (and can cause deficiencies as they'r
Can we also talk about different techniques to use when you're planting in dry substrate versus wet or already submerged? I have such a hard time getting stem plants to stay put.
Hi guys I’m new to being a betta father.. I got him as a gift out of no where .. so I had no time to prep or do my proper research on how to have him thrive . Any way it’s been about 5 months things have been well ! I have fallen for the lil guy and now doing my research properly I decided I wanted to add plants for him . The problem is that when I set up his tank I made the mistake of putting Little Rock’s at the bottom of the tank instead of sand.. can I not plant a plant or what can I do?
I JUST SET UP MY AQUARIUM RECENTLY ? MOVED IT FROM A DARK AREA ,TO A AREA THAT HAS PLENTY OF SUN LIGHT ! I AM NOW SEEING A PLANT STARTING TO GROW OUT OF THE ROCKS ON BOTTOM@! ON ITS OWN !? I WUZ LIKE HELL YEAH ! AM CURIOS TO FIND OUT WUT IT IS ? WAITN FOR IT TO GET BIGGER? VERY SUPRISED AND HAPPY TO SEE THIS START TO GROW ? WONDERING HOW THIS CAME TO BE
What about planting in a tank that is already filled with water? Is it still possible? I have an established tank that has soil but no plants yet. How much more difficult will it be to plant in the substrate while fully submerged? Will the roots of plants struggle to stay secure? Do not want to drain the tank to plant if I do not have to, especially with fish in it. Does anyone have experience with this? 🤔
I find caring for plants harder than fish. Even "beginner" plants. Only one I've had success with is the Red Tiger Lotus. All mines mostly melted away and never came back or rotted away even though I hadn't submerged the rhizomes. Dosed them root tabs and liquid fertilizer. Still didn't work. I keep having to buy new plants, which is really taxing on the wallet.
The guy at my LFS told me that you shouldn't leave the plant in the rockwool because over a long time it can start to leak nitrates or something in the water. He said it would only happen after a really long time, 3-4 years IIRC. I value his opinion quite a lot. He has the nicest fish store I've been too and he's very helpful and knowledgeable. Do you think there is any merit to what he said? I'm guessing not since you sell a product that is designed to hold potted plants.
Do you know why my watershield plants are getting holes on it? Like something is eating it, but there's no worms in my tank. Just a few fish and snail.
i cant get my stalky plants to stay in place, they just turn black at the base and they get uprooted. I even tried in a deep substrate dirted tank with no fish to uproot them, what gives?
I am paying a motza for Aquarium plants at the local pet shop because I have one very destructive male comet gold fish. I easily pay $30 a month on plants and they dont even last 2 weeks. I have never grown aquarium plants before and I am not great at normal potted plants either! My tank only has normal small stones and no soil substrate. What would be the best plant for me to start trying to grow? I have a small 30litre tank that is spare that I can use. I just need to find a way to slow this shark of a gold fish down, because he eats more money out of my bank than any other pet we own!
I’ve tried putting the pot that my plants came with in my substrate, but the plant always rots and dies not even 2 days after 😭 I followed what Cory said but idk what went wrong
Thanks for making this video I have the toughest time with aquarium plants. They either start turning black, brown, yellow, or translucent and then they start to rot and smell very bad .
You need to purchase glue that is aquarium safe. Obviously, you cannot use craft glue as it dissolves in water. You can search up aquarium glue and purchase it online or in pet shops.

Wow. I've actually failed at duckweed in three separate tanks. I didn't know to protect them from my hang-on-back.
Thanx!!!
Do the stem plants use root tabs also or is a liquid fer? Tilizer better?
omg, you have just taken away my slight anxiety about the set of plants I'm currently waiting to be delivered for my new tank. Thank you!
This video is such informative and love the way the Lizzie has explained it so patiently and calm tone, have been gaining more interest in making a planted aquarium.
What an amazing video. Thanks for the knowledge and visual information provided. This will be so helpful for every plant keeper.
Thank you this helps me out a lot, I always struggle getting the plants to stay in place
Came here just for the info at 3:10! Thanjs so much! This is very well detailed for a beginner. 💙
Really nice overview! Great job.
Beautiful hearing both in soundtrack and info. Love it thank you. Aloha
Great video! Thanks
Thanks!
Very helpful video, thanks 😊
Nice video Lizzie! I love keeping live plants in my aqaurium. I'm still learning but the way you plant them so quickly is amazing.
Great info, I like how you explained that we should give the roots enough space to grow.
This is the video I’ve been needing
This was absolutely perfect. Just a straightforward guide on how to place each type. Thank you.
Everyone at ACO are awesome ACO is my go to place for all my aquarium supplies and plants sadly I live in Long Beach California or that's where I would get my fish too
Y'all have definitely been watching me. I really needed this video. Thanks!!!
Bạn trồng cây xanh và hướng dẫn rất chi tiết rất hay Nhìn Bể thủy sinh rất đẹp... Hồ Cá trong xanh đẹp quá ❤

Great video. Thank you. Do you need to wash the plants you buy before planting?
The problem is that after all i planted my stem plants then after putting a water all of my stem plants were floated 😢
I don't know if you're still here, but you buy stem plant weights, check it out.
Add water then plant plants
Thank you for the wonderful video!

Can you tell me if Tradescantia pallida or Purple Heart plant can be used in the aquarium ? I love how it looks
Where can I buy the easy planter shown in the video please?
This would have been amazing when I was first starting out. Lucky for me, my first plants were Java fern.
The stem plants I did on accident lol glad that it’s actual thing
So what kinda glue should I use to attach certain plants to hard scape
Can we also talk about different techniques to use when you're planting in dry substrate versus wet or already submerged? I have such a hard time getting stem plants to stay put.
We actually have a short video about how to plant plants with minimal floating coming out next Monday, so stay tuned! ~Irene
Am super new to the aquarium live plant concept.. so u dont clean the tank at all with live plants is it?

WUZ LAYING DORMAT UNTIL PERFECT CONDITIONS PERMITTED IT TO COME TO LIFE ? MOVING AQUARIUM TO NEW AREA WITH PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT HAS BRANG IT TO LIFE
Do you guys sell the substrata in your website?

What is the best water temperature to grow all your aquarium plants ?
What type of sand do you use please?
I find caring for plants harder than fish. Even "beginner" plants. Only one I've had success with is the Red Tiger Lotus. All mines mostly melted away and never came back or rotted away even though I hadn't submerged the rhizomes.

What is the light requirement for these plants?
The guy at my LFS told me that you shouldn't leave the plant in the rockwool because over a long time it can start to leak nitrates or something in the water.

Rockwoll is inert, so this is very unlikely.
That is what I thought. I don't really know why he told me that then. @@nirvanaquatics
Познавательно 👍
Nice
Thank you mam finally someone made it easy for a beginner like me, now I am able to make a planted aquarium for my guppies 🥰
Do you know why my watershield plants are getting holes on it? Like something is eating it, but there's no worms in my tank. Just a few fish and snail.

I’ve tried putting the pot that my plants came with in my substrate, but the plant always rots and dies not even 2 days after 😭 I followed what Cory said but idk what went wrong
i was hoping this was shown in different substrate, especially Sand
Thanks for making this video I have the toughest time with aquarium plants. They either start turning black, brown, yellow, or translucent and then they start to rot and smell very bad .
Doesn’t the glue dissolve in the water and poison the animals?
You need to purchase glue that is aquarium safe. Obviously, you cannot use craft glue as it dissolves in water. You can search up aquarium glue and purchase it online or in pet shops.
Me watching this after I've already removed all plants from their pots and planted into substrate. 🥴
Same.. hope they survive😂
i glued an Anubis to a rock and accidently left it out overnight to dry...
I did that same thing😭😭😭
Oh lord hopefully it didn’t change colors yet
The word is Anubias
This helped out quite a bit. Long tweezers are definitely a must!
My swords keep dying and I have no clue why. I add root tabs (about 3) every month and they still die. Not as easy to grow as folks say....
