Thanks..new to the hobby here, 7 months. This was the 1st plant I bought, 2inches tall, and after 7months your right, the thing grew 2 feet tall, by 12 inches wide. New growth popping up from the gravel around it. I’m constantly trimming the height and long branches outward to keep it contained. It was the perfect choice along with the java moss, so my community fish have a great place to chill out in.
I love wisteria. Great plant, but it really does grow like a weed. After a few trimmings, mine had so many branches that the kuhli loaches were using it for a jungle gym.
I float wisteria in my Guppy tanks to soak up the excess nitrates. About every 10 days I pull it all out, take off a bunch of baby plants and put those back, dump the rest, rinse and repeat. The stuff is a nitrate sponge!
Great plant. Grows so fast I couldn't stop it from growing. This would grow in an engine block. 😏. I love it but couldn't keep it anymore because it took over my tanks! I love it for 36 gallon tanks and up....
Wisteria is definitely one of my favorites, I'm running some in a 10g with ferts and CO2 and it grows ridiculously fast. I put a ton of the excess into another tank but its a very lightly stocked tank so it all melted from lack of nitrates 😔
I just planted my 20g long guppy tank with wisteria so I'm looking forward to the update to see how we've each done with it. My only concern with mine is that I'm using a stingray as the light and I'm not sure it gives off enough light to really be effective.
When I bought mine the roots were rotted off, couldn't see under label. Salvaged 3 green tops and stuck it in gravel substrait with root tabs, do you think it will sprout root shoots like a cutting.
With wisteria, honestly, you could have just cut all the stems flush with the top of the pot and called it a day. Especially, if you planned on floating it for a few weeks.
I have found wisteria to be a very slow growing plant. In fact it's stems turn brown and it eventually dies. Meanwhile water sprite is growing very rapidly. I think you are incorrect when you say it's the fastest growing plant. I have hard water. Could that be the issue?
There's something unique to your set up. I used to hate wysteria because it grew CRAZY fast and would sprout up all over the tank! It was almost as bad as duckweed.
I just realized I was taking the plants out of the pots all wrong, it took me an hour to cut and windle my way through the tricky pot..well, I'm officially an idiot
wisteria is in my opinion the king of the easy live plants. it is also unfortunately one of the plants that will suck the most nutrients, to the point of starving out some of the more demanding plants.
problem i have with wysteria is the same problem i have with moss gets 2 bushy and collects detritus like mad and unless you shake it out or blow it out with a baster or powerhead it eventually turns into an algae magnet
@@SteenfottAquatics I disagree. In the wild it grows in sand. I only use sand in my tanks and it grows grows grows! It's insane how quick this stuff grows in sand. The key is good lighting and fert.

just planted some of that in my wife's 15g Betta tank (dirted tank) very fast growing. low light, no c02, no fertz!

Bob funny enough I've just brought these thanks Bob great stuff

Stingray should be able to grow this easily in a shallow tank like a 20g long =)
Wow Wisteria was my first plant XD
Excited to see what you do with this! I've been thinking about grabbing a bunch of this plant for my guppy tanks!
That outro guppy is amazing! He should get his own tank!
Nice maybe I'll buy some for my tank soon!
Wish we could get those here! Thanks for the vid!🙂
Beautiful fish at the end
I’m floating some wisteria in my 55 as well. Great video!
Easy way to dodge duckweed is dip them in a bucket of wanted n give it a lil shake and they duckweed will float off
Great video bob it was very informative, nice guppies by the way they look great
Love me some wisteria
Ahh wisteria...a turtle's favorite snack ahahahaha
The Turtle Girl I was just going to google if it’s turtle safe
What UP BOB...THANKS ✌
I just got some wisteria! Cool video!
When I bought mine the roots were rotted off, couldn't see under label. Salvaged 3 green tops and stuck it in gravel substrait with root tabs, do you think it will sprout root shoots like a cutting.
Wisteria is among my favorites.
3:41 sharp looking guppy.
Cheers in 2022 happy new year to all
Do you just place the plants you bought without rinsing and sterilizing?
With wisteria, honestly, you could have just cut all the stems flush with the top of the pot and called it a day. Especially, if you planned on floating it for a few weeks.
What kind of moss do you have on the left side of your tank & is it fastened down or free floating ?
Java moss, free floating, although its since attached to the airline and sponge filter.
Thanks for this video, can you let me know where you bought the water wisteria? I need them pretty big from the start like that.
Hey Bob, Do you ever quarantine new plants? Have you ever had a bad experience with new plants except with snails or duckweed? Regards.
Depends on the source, if the plants are coming from overseas then i will quarantine. Customs requires them to be sprayed with pesticides.
Great info, thanks!
Since it propagates quick can the trimmings be used to feed vegetarian fish like silver dollars or Buenos Aires tetras or is it toxic?
The one I bought is too big for my tank. After I prune should I keep the top or the bottom? Or can I keep both?
Hello. Can this plant take flow ? Also will it grow at 70F ? Thanks

@@anonymoose116 So do all of you who say it grows so fast have hard or soft water? Duckweed yes grows fast. Wisteria does not grow fast at all for me.
@@steverogers9275 any water in my tank would be soft due to tannins from driftwood.
Bob, what’s in the tank behind you at the end of your video? They look beautiful.
Good info, thanks for sharing 👍
i just got potted wisteria and sprite they will die back? that going to ruin my water quality? Plant will be ok?
I want to try it now
I just grabbed a bunch of these the other day
Hey Bob I require a fishroom update, haven't seen smol steen in a while
Nice looking Thanks

Would this grow well in sand substrate?
It would do ok in sand, it would take awhile to get established however.
@@SteenfottAquatics I disagree. In the wild it grows in sand. I only use sand in my tanks and it grows grows grows! It's insane how quick this stuff grows in sand.
The key is good lighting and fert.
Would it out compete my other plants?
I believe it would.
Does water flow matter?
How did the power outage resolve?
You mran nitrates?
by far the easiest plant lmao. *besides duckweed and stuff like that* had tanks filled to the brim with it.
What guppy is that at 3:41?
I can't get mine to grow, What am I doing wrong?
I think my issue is that I don't have a heater.
Can Crayfish eat these?
They probably would
Steenfott Aquatics ok thanks
I will take the duckweed lol
What about water Sprite lol it's about the same easy lever lol
another super easy fast grower =)
Steenfott Aquatics lol I can't get enough space for all mine lol
first woohooo
