Thank you

Why does nobody explain how to remove the baby plantlets? I've watched like 4 videos and still don't have an answer. They never say if you just wait for them to fall off, or if you just rip them off and not worry about the damage, or if you cut the parent leaf. It produces baby plants and you can glue them to whatever. Great but how am I supposed to actually get them off the parent plant?

hello, just bought some java ferns and I want to grow them emersed, the leaves are only around 3 to 5 cm long. I mixed some rocksand, soil, and water as substrate. I have planted 2 adult plants and it's been a week now, they are both still alive but I do not see new root formation or new lead formation. some local people are saying that I am doing it wrong but I've done it the same way I've seen other people do it online. I have 4 more plantlets and I want to try to make another culture. I'm confused about how to go about doing it, is there any way I can reach out to you to show you my setups. Thanks in advance.

How would you trim the baby plants from the leaves of the mother plant?

So much talk and so little real info or examples :(

Ten minutes of you saying the same thing over and over. Sure split the rhizomes. That is just about all you are saying oh and they pup. I want to know about feeding instructions , water temps, daily care, how long it takes them to produce. Because mine pretty much sit at the bottom of my tank, they haven't changed one bit since I got them 3 months ago. More information please besides the stuff I did on day one. You have said nothing as to co2 levels, Do they need High ? low ? none ? Yep separated the rhizomes , put them in the tank....Okay now what ??

You are just not giving any info. Just talk talk and talk....

I always appreciate videos from aquarist that actually have credentials. Haha! Thanks for the great videos and tips.

These videos are all so helpful! I live in an area where we don't have much in the way of aquatic plants, so I'm starting a mini, emersed, green house in my fish room!

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the knowledge mate

Great info. Thank you for sharing!

I sold all my java fern last year that was attached to a piece of wood. Some roots were left on it and I threw it into my 90 gallon tank with a tiger oscar. A few months later I was cleaning and there was java fern growing off the old roots!!! I couldn't believe it because the piece of wood was dry for about 4 days before I put it in another tank!

Another great video from a great KZfaqr. Keep up the great work man I love java ferns.

Hi , just came accross you videos and I love it. From South Africa.

Very Good job! And thanks for everything.

3:56 In the orchid hobby it is called a 'keiki' (cake+e) but baby fern is fine. Keikis are off-shoots of the mother plant that are miniature versions of the main plant. In orchids (specific to phalaenopsis), when the plant has become too comfortable they would rather grow keikis rather than to flower.

I *LOVE* java fern windelov, it never fails me.

Thanks for the tips! I bought java fern for the first time about three weeks ago and it does not like my tank. I think I am seeing the same thing you are talking about. It's in a new environment and it's stressed. I noticed yesterday that there are three little plantlets coming off of one of the leaves. At first I thought this was black beard algae lol! I posted a pic and was told that it's reproducing. Also, when I took the plant out of the tube I found a bare rizome. I didn't feel good about throwing it away so I put it in my aquarium! I'm so glad I did now.

Beautiful piece

Yo bro. My lanceolata finally grew a leaf 😁 My java fern also had something growing on its leaf. Hopefully thats a plantlet. First tome having a plantlet on one of my java fern. Your vids truly helped alot 👍🏻

Now that my java ferns have adjusted to my water, I don’t get babies anymore. I miss them actually. Nice videos! I did not know that about the rhizomes without leaves! I will have to try that! Thanks so much!

Oh your channel is awesome! So excited to try this out myself! :D Quick question, I have been told to never have the rhizome completely covered by the substrate in my aquarium. Is that something I need to be careful about when planting anubias or java ferns emersed?

Good info. One of my favorite beginner plants.

Its a great plant for sure fish don't eat it works with low light thanks for sharing !

✋🏼👊🏼😀❤️ Hey Brother! Thank you for the lesson. I know nothing about this topic and it’s great to learn. Namaste 🙏 ☮️

I really enjoyed this video and learned a few things. I have a 20G long that I put bits and pieces of low light plants in. After I've divided and reattached the large plants to wood or ornaments, I always have small pieces left over. I can't bring myself to just throw them away, so I drop them in this tank or attach them to some quarter size rocks. I recently redid my Java Fern. I had all these 2-3" pieces of rhizomes left over. I just stuck them through slits of odd pieces of ornaments in the tank. I've never tried the emmersed growing of plants but saw a video of yours about doing it. I don't have time to try it now. But I'm going to tie some of these Java Fern rhizomes to some small pieces of wood and put them in a few of my low light tanks that get low doses of ferts. I'm going to see if they will grow new little leaves. How long do you think it might take to start growing little leaves? A few weeks, months? I know you said you had not gone this route because you use emmersed growth. How long does it take to get growth on the emmersed rhizomes? I really enjoy the way you explain how you do things and why. You make learning about this hobby so much more interesting, easy and fun. Please keep making these great videos. I enjoy learning from you. Thanks again.

Look bro....I'm not just saying this I mean every word when I tell you I wasn't in to plants at all not even a little bit you change that over these last couple weeks for me now I'm all about making my plant game strong as well💪💪💪💪🔥💯

I accidentally grew some? My two biggest ferns had a whole bunch of roots growing from it’s leaves, I didn’t know what they were. And they would fall off if I moved the plant in the slightest. I’ve been throwing them away... Yesterday however I planted some of them (after I found out what they were) and I love how my tank looks! Will definitely keep my eye on them. Looking forward to raising many more for my other tanks 🤗

Thank you

Great video! When you said emersed, do you mean in normal soil? Without heater or something? Or lol am confused man

👍good Video

Hello again bro. One of my java fern leaves grew 3 little plants. How would i know when to remove those small baby plants? Planning to replants them unto the driftwood but not sure if they're ready to be replanted. Thanks!

hey, very nice and informative vid. but I was wondering, what do you do with all the baby java ferns? I've got loads of them attached to my motherplants and I do not know what to do with them or make them grow more

Going to try this tomorrow i will let you know what happens with further updates thanks

Nice video. I've subscribed. Question about my Java fern. It produced about 10 baby plants after I had some tank issues. Although they are small, you can see roots, but they have brown fuzz on them. Is this a type of alge? I've never seen it before with my plant, but have never had so many at once. Thanks

Could I place the baby plants in a clear Rubbermaid tub just in water by a window to grow or do they need to be attached to wood or planted like you showed

can i grow it on regular aquarium sand??

Many say they are slow but they actually grow fast. Although they stay small after being cut up, the leaves and roots grow fast within a couple of weeks. I grow mine as floating plants along with trimmings on the water surface on one of my tanks.

I am trying your immersed method with some trident java babies to see how fast I can grow them. I also took my mother plant on driftwood and randomly cut the rhizomes still on the wood in several places to help thicken the plant immensely!

I find that if i have any dying leaves, i would cut them and leave then in the tank. About 3 or 4 days later babies would be on then growing

If I plant Java Fern in a emerse setup do I bury the root only ?

My Java Fern is growing on length, but not height. Any ideas why it doesn't grow tall, but it spreads out in length. I keep propogating and still the same results.

Can you cut the leaf in half and hve a another plant?

Hi Jordan... I'm not very good with plants. I got an email from a subscriber who is creating his dream tank. Some of his questions are above my knowledge. Can I forward the email to you. I am sure he would appreciate your knowledge!! 💗🌿💦😁
