So glad I saw this video! Im looking to do the same with Hygrophila chai tissue culture I just got. The plantlets don't have roots though. Would this cause an issue? Sorry if you answered this question in the video and I missed it.
Could you elaborate more about the tubs and cups method, would like to make sure. I am assuming drainage cups/cups with holes filled with soil placed in the reservoir? Did I get it right?
Nope. There's no drainage. I just don't over water. I allow the soil to become it's own ecosystem. This keeps the plants thriving. The soil slowly decomps and then I refresh the bin. That's years down the line though as I'm not constantly pushing clean water though it.
@@Chantz_the_Scaper Oh thats cool, glad u shared! I actually meant what u were sharing at 23:50. About placing the cups in the tubs. U also mentioned that you have huge beliefs about the soil(microbes and bacteria etc.) Would love it if you could share more on it. Would really be insightful!
This is super helpful. I have horrible luck with TC plants but will definitely be giving this a try. I had no idea. Is there anything special I need to do for converting from emerse to submerged
These are just steps that I use that make the process simpler. You could just toss most these into a bin with some soil and they'll convert on their own. However, the more fragile ones need some tlc.
I’m hoping to get some cryptocorne flamingo and probably an Anubias or two. Would love to try my hand at Chai but I don’t trust my experience just yet!
Do you have any updated videos on your plants

When is the update on that ??

Is there any reason you don’t have drainage holes in the containers ?
I don't water much. I also depend on the bins not draining to maintain humidity and lower the need to water daily.

This method works extremely well with Cryptocoryne species.
Do you use any damping off products when starting your emerse growing plants?
I have never seen the ceramic ones but the snips are Japanese thread snips!
Yep! They're also used in Bonsai and Cannabis Horticulture. 🤙
Link to shears, please! Those are rad!

like many spend more time defending why the do what the do rather than how
