I realize this is old but don't stick Java fern in the substrate , crazy glue the Rhizome to driftwood or a rock , they won't grow if the roots are buried.

Good tips on easy plants. I can recommend (no CO2, low light): Cryptocoryne (various species, wendtii is OK), Ludwigia repens (very easy stem plant), Vallisneria sp., Ceratophyllum sp., Rotala rotundifolia, Hydrocotyle leucocephala and finally Hydrocotyle tripartita or Micranthemum umbrosum for easy carpeting. To plant your wood, use some Anubias sp., Java ferns, various mosses (Christmas moss or Java moss are OK) and you're golden :) If you like floating plants, use Pistia (I don't recommend duckweed - grows too fast and makes the tank look messy). Beware: I don't recommend Ceratopteris sp. as it is a terrible plant to mix with anything else because it just sucks up all the ions from water INSTANTLY, simply making them unavailable for other plants, which results in algae outbreak.

I've tried many of the common aquarium plants but bought some hornwort a week ago. Had some of the pine leaves fall off at first and I thought I made a mistake getting it but how wrong I was as it has settled and it's growing well! I just wedged it between plants/decor and I have to say the fish/shrimp really like this super plant!!

Awesome video. I was getting very anxious and wondering what plants needed and what light their mostly comfterbel with.

Your videos are so much easier to understand than many I have watched! I don’t really want all of the complicated science when just looking for ideas to start up a planted tank, I just want the simple. I can learn the science later if I want.

Literally the best plant video guide thus far for us who don’t have have to deal with using lots of/no ferts or special substrates !!

Hey Man, I recently got a Java fern and a sword tail and some floating plants for my 5.5 gallon Betta tank and my betta loves it. I just wanted to say thank you for uploading videos. I love your channel the best. I love how passionate you are bout fishes and also trying new things. You deserve more subscribers.

Very useful information and excellent presentation, really enjoyed it. Thanks Jason!

why do you only have 52K subs in 2019? You deserve so much more for your hard work and great advice. Keep them coming, your channel will grow like your plants!!!

I enjoy your videos. Thank you for the great information. I'm just now getting into plants in my tanks because of the benefits.

Water wisteria will go crazy , love them... They want to take over my tank

Still binge watching and I'm learning some great tips!!Hope you all have a great day! Much love from my family you yours😁!🙏❤️✌️

Thank you!

Loved watching this oldie!

Thanks🥰💞

I struggle with plants in my aquarium... Thanks for this video, I think it will help!

Sword plants need root tabs to grow, and Anubius does not like to be in substrates it rather grow on rocks/wood, or on a suction cup on the glass where the roots are free.

It's Brian McCann the world champion Houston Astros catcher talking about plants

I put a diy osmocote fertilizer tab near my sword plants root system in my aquarium and it helps to make my sword plants grow healthy. I do this every six months because like you I have them in gravel although there is some eco complete mixed in. My plants leaves were turning yellow and came back strong after about a week after I did this

Binge watching all your plant related videos. I like that you don't look down on us that keeps artificial plants. Slowly I'm gathering the courage to add real plants, slowly. I don't really want to re scape, if that's what can be called, my tank butwant to add some real plants to it.

PTA what’s the best way to clean plants ? Making sure to clean off hitch hikers , parasites, etc?

I really appreciate the fact that you reply to questions. I have a 5.5 gallon with 1 Betta,3 ghost shrimp,1 nerite zebra snail ,& banana plant, 1 Amazon sword, Java Fern, Italian Val ,water Sprite,& Bacopa. The Bacopa ,& Sprite aren't doing well at all. What size /type light should I have? I want it to be a low light but grow my plants , without stressing my Betta. Please help.

Good video

Only wish I have these many tanks.

This may have been mentioned already, but have you tried affixing the java fern to driftwood. It will take over and cover the wood.

For me my wisteria doesnt do well planted , it always starts throwing roots in the water column and disconnects from the stem, and goes to float on top. It's never like in the video. It grows like crazy floated though. Hm.

Nice video, water wisteria conquered my tank. If you trim it regularly it will be a carpeting plant. Even it is a problem in my tank. I want to change it now with another plant

Hello. Can you please tell me, what is that fish with orange tail at 09:40?

Jason, what live plants would you suggest to put in a quarantine or hospital tank?

What substrate do you have in your hornwort tank? Keep up the good work as always

do you have any links to good tools to move or clip plants for planted tanks?

I think that is a Rosette Sword plant!

Is it advisable to use both a single bulb flourescent light fixture and maybe supplement it with an LED light as well?

For a second there, I thought you had an underground filter, but I spotted the spong ... or is it a box filter? ... lol

Are you using any Co2 for your live plants or just the fertilizer?

Can we use seachem flourish liquid fertilizers?

At some point I got some subwassertang as a hitchhiker. Easiest plant ever.

I was told that java fern prefers to be attached to wood .

Hi I have always used artificial plants in my aquarium but now I am making the move to proper plants. Is it ok to use liquid fertiliser with a canister filter? Will it damage the bacteria in the filter, or will the fertilizer be taken out by the bacteria?

Does LED lights with blue light help to grow plants? And how long should you leave light on in morning and at night? I have most of these plants...most of my floating plants die not sure why...thanks for the video...great info!

What type of fish are those with the Anubius

What❓ 9:50 Bard Goodeads❓ What fish species is that? Thanks ❗

What is the temperature of your tank please

I have a lot of pondsnails if I get some plants will the snails eat them?

Thinking of changing sand substrate to aquasoil e.g. Fluval Stratum before I start planting. I have danios (leopard/zebra) in my 20 gallon. What’s the best way of changing substrate without causing a big ammonia and nitrite spike? Should I plant around edges only to give the danios space for swimming? Good channel by the way! 🐠🇬🇧

What temperature do you keep guppy grass and hornwarts?I got guppy grass but needles are coming off... Our tank is at 79F. I enjoy your video very much.

I bought wisteria, java fern and ozelot sword. Can they thrive with my tank lid led light, cause I have a cat and have to have the lid.

Will rams horn snails effect my plants negatively

How often do would you fertilize a freshly planted tank? The plants look awesome! Tanks in advance.

How do you plant the water wisteria? Do I remove the runners when I get them?

What is the difference between the light you are using and LED lights. Does it need to be special lighting for plants?

How long do I leave the light on

Can you pls give us the name for the lighting for the first one 🙏

I got a plant from petco labeled Wisteria and it doesn't look like that at all! They have a muted pinkish/purple stem and sections like bamboo where the roots appear. Hmmm....

1:24 How deep is the substrate?

What finn x stingray lights do you use, lots to pick from, kinda confusing on how powerful to use ,mine would be for a 50gal breeder if that matters TIA

What Heater are you using? Any Particular Brand?

I realize that this is an older video but I'm curious as to if it is better buying the plants that are sold in tubes at fish stores or going online and buying plants from a place such as aquarium Co-op. is there a difference in the plant quality?

Do a video on dwarf sucker fish pls I wanna get 2 or 3 and I cant find a single video on them pls

Can water sprite grow in normal gravel?

I've got a 65 gallon tank. Is that going to require a stronger light source?

I want some water sprite

What plan would survive water temp of 80 to 0 degree

Do all plants need fertilizer? I don't like using chemicals in my fish tanks unless it is needed and i know it won't hurt my fish

I have 30 gallon tank. Constantly battling a black algae that is practically impossible to remove. I try to scratch it off with my nails but grows back w

What plants are best for goldfish and amonna levels

Hi, you forgot to mention the Latin name for guppy grass. I googled it , but unfortunately I can't get in (web)shops the Netherlands. I really like the way it looks. By the way, do you use liquid CO2 like easy carbo to make up a bit for having no regular CO2. I do use easy carbo at the moment, because I don't use CO2, but I would rather not because of the ingredients. It is such agressive stuff. You say the plants use nitrates, but you don't talk about phosphates. In my tank the nitrate is 0 when I don't add it myself, but my phosphate level is 1ppm for the most part. How is this possible? Don't the plants use phosphates? I feed not even one tablet per week to my group of 10 pygmae corydoras and twice a week something for my Japonica shrimps. I do weekly 20% waterchanges and gravelclean my substrate. Do you have an explanation? Kind regards, Gerda

At 8:35 you show a tank with Water Sprite, what are the fish in that tank? That male is absolutely beautiful....

If you want a mess in your tank, just get Hornwart. That stuff is so messy.

Can I just grow plants without fish or do the plants need the fish to live

0 fertilizer, just ammonia to start the cycle and my javafern is killing it

Can you please send some of ur excessive plants for me...2-3 stems will also do Wating for your response...!!❤️

Very good advice but all those snails! That is exactly what I dont want in my tank!

Do you sell fish

Isaiah 29:19 Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel

Where do beginners get plants?

This plant is hard to kill I try it's still alive
