- In this video, I show you exactly how to propagate Vallisneria from one tank to the next. A complete visual of me doing so; step by step.
How to, Aquascape, Aquarium plants.
Shout out to all the visual learners it helps so much when you showed us how to propagate and warned of runners
thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience
You're welcome 🤙
Baller man!!!
I guess it depends in regards to growth time, I’ve had some Val for 2 weeks and it started making runners within the first week. It’s growing so fast I need to rearrange the runners before it takes over my tank lol. Thanks for the propagation tips 🫡
No problem. They will definitely take over the tank over time and when there's no more room in the substrate, they'll just start sending runners straight up. Lol
Dude, I love your energy. You're basically an older version of myself and I love it. I never subscribe to channels, but you have earned it in two videos that I've watched
Thank you Seth! I'm happy to have you around my friend 🤙
💚
Thanks for the shout out! I love your channel and your enthusiasm for the hobby. I'm just getting started in the hobby, and I'll be setting up a 15g Fluval Flex when I get my RO system up and running. Can't wait to cycle and get some plants in the tank. You've taken some of the fear and mystery out of aquarium plants for me so I'll have confidence heading into Petco or the LFS.
There you are! No, thank you for following me and the kind words as well. Extremely excited for you to get started.
Don't ever hesitate to ask me about any plants you get from those places if I haven't made a video on it yet.
I've gone out of my way and purchased every plant out of curiosity and for fun to see for myself how and if they can thrive coming from big chain stores.
Confidence really does help with the success.
Let me know how things go for you with that Fluval flex.
I can talk aquariums all day.
Great content mate, thanks for sharing.
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
You're welcome 🤙
What’s up from phoenix Arizona, thanks for your time to made such a informative videos!!!!! I have my first dirt aquarium and I have no idea what Cain of plants 🌱 put in, so thanks brother Good bless you!!!
What's happening my friend 🤙
Thanks for watching and I'm really excited to have you around!
When you're do'n it right . . . you're do'n it right! Thanks for this. Very helpful, my seething has abated. (I'm still a lemur but it ain't that bad)
Lol! 😂
The video I was looking for... Thanks a lot ❤️.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. I've got half a dozen Vallisneria videos on the different types and care. Feel free to dig around my playlist.
There's a Section just for this plant.
You caught me right as I was making a new video.
See you around.
Just found your channel while researching planted tanks and val. Yours is very in depth and well explained. Thanks a bunch. Subscribed. 😊
Much appreciated Vanissa. I'm not easy to bump into either. Everyone finds me by chance. I don't promote this channel.
Very happy to have you here amoungst this small community, and I look forward to seeing you in future videos. 😁
You're a lifesaver. Thank you for this. My plants have been in my tank for about a month, and now there's runners everywhere! The roots have intertwined with the other plants and it's a mess!!
Appreciate you watching! I'm happy you gained something of value 🤙
@@yourtap no problem. I appreciate your help. Now I have a ton of runners after propagating and no idea what to do with them lol. I only have a 20 gallon axolotl tank with sand and a plain led light. I guess I could try it, and see if it works haha
Subscribed to your channel great video
Happy to have you 🤙
I must’ve got lucky with mine. I had runners in the first 5 days. Tank was filled within a month. I love this plant very easy to grow and it’s beautiful
Thanks for all the helpful videos!
Thanks for watching! 🤙
You mentioned the cutting being shocked when moving tanks... If you replant directly into the same tank immediately, would the shock still occur?
I really like your style btw. Awesome vid
First, thank you.
Anytime a plant is uprooted it's going to cause some type of reaction. Putting back in the same tank, you probably won't notice anything. Hope that helps.
Don't be scared to spread out your plants. Have fun with them.
They will forgive you I promise 🤙
Hey dude, just found your channel today. You give some great info and I love your humour 😜 Keep it real man 🤙🏼
What's happening man. I just woke up and I intend to 💯. I truly appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for watching and I'll look forward to seeing you around in the future 🤘
thank you thank you thank you. can't thank you enough
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. See you around.
thx for the video its very informative
Appreciate you watching. Hope to see you around in future videos.
Oops! After watching this I ran to my tank to correct an error I made. Thanks man!
My pleasure. Happy you've finally found some useful information.
Really helps when someone actually shows you what to do.
@@yourtap Absolutely! Dude I'm watching your Java Fern-secret video. No wonder I killed my Javas! Had no idea the string. Seriously thought I just couldn't do Javas 😅
@@gfamily1943 , Java Ferns are only bulletproof plants if you do exactly what I've shown, all the way up to the propagation.
It's like other TH-camrs want you to fail.
I'm literally the only Aquascaper that reveals the BS you have to go through with Java Ferns.
I have a question that i can't find a clear answer to, if i may.
When the leaves grow too long can you cut them to a desired height or do the leaves totally die off once cut?
Some yes you can some say no you can't, im confused.
You can cut wherever you want on the leaves. They will eventually melt away once snipped. This applies to every plant in existence.
Plants can't heal themselves. Hope that helps 🤙
@yourtap Thanks for your reply
You're welcome my friend!
I’m not seeing any runners off my val.. any ideas what i could be doing wrong? i’ve had it for about 3 months now.
th-cam.com/video/EsF5wrHXJxY/w-d-xo.html
You're not doing anything wrong. Here is a video that I made that breaks down the science behind Val and why yours are taking so long. Thanks for your question 🤙
what are your thoughts on anoxic filters ?
I don't have a opinion on it. That's because I haven't used it. I'd be happy to hear any results you may have had with one. 🤙
Hey I am a new subscriber can you tell me why my val is melting and not growing
There's many reasons why Val would melt. If you planted it recently. It takes Val 30 days to acclimate to new water conditions. If you've had it a long time and it's still just not working. Make sure you aren't dosing your tank with any liquid ferts that have bio available carbon in it and any chemical treatments that kill algae will also kill Val. Last thing off the top of my head could be substrate. Val are extremely heavy root feeders. If you're not using dirt or an aquarium substrate like Fluval or ADA. They'll need constant upkeep on root tabs to stay healthy.
@@yourtap thank you so much for your advice
@@Eshalyeety my pleasure. Thanks for following and watching the video. I look forward to seeing around future videos. 🤙
Start at minutes 2
I definitely killed mine off!
Hey 🐟🐠 are there any flowering floaters for relatively small tanks ?
For small tanks there isn't. All flowering floater plants stem from bulb plants that grow from the bottom to the surface.
Those being varieties of Apontogenton, Tiger Lotus, Red Lotus etc. They are massive and usually only used in outdoor ponds.
Unless you've got an extremely deep tank. 40 gallons or more.
Small true floaters that don't need to be attached to gravel, unfortunately are all green leaf or red leaf floaters.
Be that, Duck weed, Frogbit, Water lettuce etc.
Thanks for your question!
Can you propagate alternanthera reineckii if you can how?
Yes you can. I actually have an entire video on it. I haven't loaded it yet.
However, I'll give you a quick rundown on how to do it.
It doesn't propagate like your regular stem plants.
You have to wait for it to become an adult. At some point you'll start to see a mass of roots growing from the center of it. In that mass of roots; you'll notice tiny babies. You pluck those off an plant.
FYI, that plant grows extremely slow. It takes time and patience to get to that point.
I appreciate your question. Welcome to the team my friend. I hope to see you in the future.
👊😃
@@yourtap thank you
No problem. Thanks for watching. Have a great day!
Ill try today
Fantastic. I can teach you how to trigger it to start that mass of roots and babies, if you're having trouble. Let me know how it goes.
Hi man. Can Vallisneria grow in plain gravel?
It can. You'll need root tabs, it won't spread and thrive as well however; it can be done.
Just cost you more than using dirt.
Thanks for this! I just bought some Vallisneria and was wondering if you could propagate it at all
