According to some recommendations....I will be running the air pump longer than just a few minutes. I have really no experience growing plants long term in water.
I put it into bigger bottom glass vase I bought in dollar store near me. Also I change water every 2 weeks.
the smell is from the algae as the water is getting too much light - if you paint the glas-jars black (or any dark colour/color) then „bad“ algae will not grow, or, alternately add a couple of amano-shrimps and they will keep the algae in check
Sweet. Thanks!
I would like to say, I adore you and your videos. They are so informative and delivered very well. Thank you again 🌿
Thank you so much!
I grew a monster deliciosa in the back of my fish tank for years-warm, oxygenated water plus fish waste=perfect environment for plant roots 👍 Your plants would really appreciate a little air for a longer time. You could split that air hose a couple times and oxygenate several vessels at once. I’d recommend a corded air pump running all day, but it doesn’t have to be very strong.
Yes....I will be running it longer! Thanks Kris
I’ve had golden pothos and monstera deliciosa growing out of the top of an aquarium for about 3 years now. The pothos vines are probably 10’ long and the leaves are HUGE (I’ve pinned them up on the wall behind). The monstera is healthy and has gorgeous roots, but the leaves haven’t fully sized up or fenestrated like my potted one has.
@mandylarsen6400 - So happy to hear this! Thanks for sharing. My monstera (in water) has produced new highly fenestrated leaves but I give it a lot of light. So in case you were wondering, I doubt the lack of fenestration is because it is growing in water.
@@TaraB1134 cool thanks! I’ve been considering actually taking the lid off the aquarium and hanging a big grow light from the ceiling for both the aquatic plants and everything I could grow out the top. It seems a bit excessive but it would be beautiful!
Wow! Thanks for these comments and that is so awesome to hear it's been in water for 3 years
Thanks for sharing. This is plan. Do u have the picture?
I love air stones! I use them for propagating. Thanks for sharing Jeff!
Me too!
What are air stones??? Leca 🤷
I have 2 growing in water an albo with a syngonium and a regular monstera. I just added a beta fish in the bowl with the regular monstera in hopes of his poop fertilizing the plant. I am going to get the little pump.
The live video with chat interaction was great i hope you plan to do more of these.
Absolutely and thanks for joining!
Thank you so much for this video I bought an air pump long time ago for a protect. I haven't use it since. I have lots plants in leca. Now I can give some oxygen to my babies...😊
This is still an experiment for me and hope this allows me to keep the water 'healthy' without having to replace the water weekly....but to just top up when needed.
Perfect timing!
Join the live chat too!
You always have COOL GADGETS!!! 😊❤😀 I was gifted a large bag of clay pebbles. I know next to nothing on how to use them. Lol! I am going to experiment (sacrifice) with my pothos and see how it goes....😅
I don't know much about Leca either 😅
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful
Thanks Jillian
Great video! 👍🏼
Thanks!
Oh wow, I didn’t know this was a thing. Good to know! Thanks
You bet!
Love this video so much! 🤩
Thank you!!
I just leave my air pump and stone going on as long as my lights are on. IT really helps in rooting plants. OR has been my experience. For sure it helps keep down the algee.
Very interesting....thanks Chris
Great video. Enjoy seeing what you are up to. I currently have about 21 plants growing with a passive hydroponic system. I have only been doing this for about 4 months now so I can’t speak to longevity. I made up my mind I was not interested in messing about with pH or filtered water. My plants all have been told they have to thrive on tap water - chlorine and all. So far, I have not been fertilizing and even without fertilizer, my Peace Lily and Alocasia (Silver Dragon) have flowered for me. I also have succulents in water and my Tacisedum hybridbis flowering! Jades grow really well in water (who knew?). So far, only two plants have started demanding fertilizer (and I will comply): my Monstera Peru and my Peace Lily. I suspect my String of Pearls would like some fertilizer too but I’m not sure yet. Anyway, it was the Monstera that got me started on hydroponics as I saw another video on growing them in tap water. What a happy camper it is! I do have an aquarium air pump and stone which I have not really used yet because I was unsure how long to run it. Instead, I simply change out the water frequently to re-oxygenate. My system would not be for people who have too many plants. I change the water every 2 or 3 days. I manually take the plant to the sink and tip out the old and inspect the roots. If any slime is discovered, I take a toothbrush and scrub them! I also scrub out the container at least every 3 or 4 weeks. I use marbles to stage the plant height and support roots occasionally as they clean up better than clay balls. However, my Philodendron Brasíl is growing in LECA and is very happy. If it gets too slimy I will uproot it and scrub the clay balls and roots and repot. LOL. My version of hydroponics is NOT for the faint hearted. 😂
Wow.... That is quite the routine. I'm surprised with your relaxed approach to water that you'd be so aggressive with keeping algae away lol sounds like your plants are doing well with you routine. Thanks so much for sharing
@@EverythingPlants 2 words…”root porn”. 😂
@@TaraB1134 easy now....this is a family rated program 🤣
Just know if you use reverse osmosis or distilled water and add your nutrients you better check the pH because there is no buffer in distilled or reverse osmosis water. You can buy a carbon filter and it does not remove the minerals which are what buffer the water but I check my pH everytime I mix up nutrients solution and it usually is a 3 or 3.5 until I add some ph up or about one-third of tap water although my tap water I have a inline filter to remove chlorine but I do think mixing tap water filtered preferably with reverse osmosis water may be the best bet but then you may have a nutrient deficiency for all of the micronutrients or minerals because reverse osmosis or distilled water do not have minerals so I suggest reading about it until you understand it because if you crash your pH and don't even know it you will kill your plant
Get yourself a small aquarium air pump and a bubble stone to give the roots some aeration trust me they'll love it
Edit: I spoke before the end of the video lol great video Jeff!
Thanks!!!
At the end of the video you showed the light clipped to a plank over your monstera prop. Can you explain what kind of light that is?
You should really put a check valve on that air pump!! If the power ever fails at your house the water may start back flowing to the pump itself and cause some pretty nasty damages or even an electrical fire!!
I just added them on....thanks for the reminder!
Hello from NC.🙋🏻♀️
Hello from Saskatchewan, Canada and thanks for watching!
I love the airstone, i wonder how much benefit it is turning it on for only a few mins. Only wondering bc I used to have fish, like my entire life I had freshwater tanks of various varieties and my last tank was planted... when the power would go out and the air would stop being introduced the fish and snails would go to the top of the tank to get air and once the power would be back on, they would quickly go back down the water that once again had air flow. I know plants and fish aren't the same but it's just got me wondering since plants are also "breathing". My planted tank had a lot of losses but also a lot of growth and I never noticed anything with them and power outages but tbh I was more concerned about my fish and snails suffering...
I will be leaving it running for awhile....more then a few minutes
This was timely as I put my out of control monstera on the back deck last weekend. I desperately need to repot it. I don't want to grow it in just water. I had many, many fishtanks over the last 50 years. I am done playing in water, but I do need to find something to do with this Monstera. It has very long petials (?), the space from the node to the leaf, and it has not put out a new leaf in a couple of months. It has out grown it's spot. What can I do with it? I would love it to be nice and compact like yours is. This thing is 4 feet tall. Any ideas?
What type of light does it get?
Yes send it to me😊
I’m not sure if “a few minutes once a week” is enough to really do anything. If I remember from a hydroponics video I watched, I think they said for fully submerged roots, they suggested running the aeration for 12-24 hours a day! Of course, your container is much smaller than a commercial hydroponic setup, but your pump is much smaller too. I’m sure there’s some chart of rate of air flow per unit volume of water.. but I wouldn’t really know where to start looking.
I just look at it as if you change out the water once a week....I have no scientific backing of my approach, but it's a starting point haha
Ok so you only aerate a few minutes? You don’t recommend leaving the aerator in there all the time?
I think there has been a few updates since this, but I run it 24hrs a day now
💚

I’m not sure using the airstone actually forces oxygen into water. Diana Walstad looks at this belief in her book on the ecology of the aquarium. I think just changing the water weekly is enough. Ready to be corrected, though. I like these videos.
I'm not a scientist but I've seen arguments on both sides....all I know is I don't have to change the water weekly haha
Thanks for watching!
Air pumps do not add oxygen to water. Air pumps move air, which can help dissolve oxygen already present, but they do not add or generate any meaningful amount of additional oxygen for aquatic systems. Only dedicated oxygenation systems can actively increase oxygen in water.
Thank you for the information Tommy
It absolutely adds oxygen to the water. It's called bubbleponics and it is widely used amongst hydroponic cultivators.
I grow orchids for a very long time & they’re very fragile, same with Monstera… just stop obsessing & put them in pure water & let them be 🤷🏻♀️
Huh? I'm sorry I don't understand what you are referring to...
Air pump is cool gadget for plants in water. 👋🏼🪴😀
Ya....I'm happy with it
@@EverythingPlants should have asked, are the wildfires near you? Hope you’re not affected by them!
