I use a clear plastic dish sponge holder for the kitchen from the dollar tree. It comes with two suction cups and it has been in the tank for over three months. Hasn't let me down yet.
Brilliant! I was thinking the same thing lol. I brought the plant as an experiment. I wonder if it really help eat up all the fish waste, beside the nitrates.
I use thinly sliced pool noodle to keep the roots in the tank but the leaves don't touch the water. It works great & one pool noodle makes tons of plant "floaties".
I've had golden pothos thriving submerged for nearly a year so far. The fish and shrimp seem to love it & I haven't had to do a water change in a good bit
Hey, I’m in Singapore right now and there is Pathos growing up a tree across the street. Some of the leaves are at least 24” long maybe longer! Also there are quite a few different cultivars of Peace Lilly. Some of the dwarf varieties stay less than a foot tall. Cheers, Chris
I have been using both for a few years. I enjoy the way it looks and it gives me room for MORE house plants! 😊 I recently put two sprouted avocado pits being held by toothpicks up in my HOB. so the pit is kind of half in half out of the water. I must say I’ve gotten amazing growth out of one. The other struggled a bit for awhile but is doing better. Once they are too big I will pot them up. Nothing better than free plants you propagate yourself and they make my big HOB less noticeable because it’s filled with phothos, a nice sized peace Lilly that I have separated a few times, and the avocado sprouts( one is over a foot tall, but the trunk is still thin )
I built a trickle filter on the top of my aquarium. It's full of hydroponic clay and has pothos, peace lily and lucky bamboo in it. Just a shop light over the top of those. The water feeds in at one side and out piping on the other returning to the tank. Great low light plants for sure!
I also use sweetheart plant. Its like a pothos but has a hearshape leaf and comes in neon too. Plus the vines ares also mored redish pink and yellow. Quite bright and tropical.
Currently have multiple cutting of marble pothos in my tank, as well as the wandering jew plant, and a peace lily... I shouldnt say in my tank, they are actually in a marina breeder box hanging off the back of my tank. I used lava rock to hold everything in place!
@@jeffalbillar7625 sorry for the late response, so what I did was I purchased the biggest hang on back breeder box I could get that uses an airline as the lift tube for the water (you don't want a crazy flow) I did not use the bubble counter that they commonly have either because it made the flow.. weird. Then, pick a inert substrate that's easy for the water to get through. I used lava rock.. finally figure out what you want to do, I found the best plant for this is peace Lilly. Easiest to maintain imo. If there isn't natural light near, you will need to provide light. (Any LED bulb that produces 6500Kelvin will work, I used a GE bulb you can get literally anywhere.)
@@jeffalbillar7625 no problem! I'd send you pictures but I moved and got a bigger tank and that no longer worked on the bigger rim.. it really helped me with water changes! I got to the point where all I needed to do was top the tank off because the plants were pulling sooooo much crap out of the water.
I just started doing plants. I replaced all the gravel in my 55-gallon aquarium 2 weeks ago that had 7 mid-sized goldfish. Because I was losing my bacterial base, I was hoping to help it with non-aquatic plants in addition to those I already had in the water. I had a 10 foot pothos that I cut back about a foot adding 3 plants and a couple pieces of snake plant. The water looked beautiful after a week and the fish were happy, so I added a small spider plant that I was able to divide into 2 and stick under water in the back corners touching, but not breaking the surface of the water. The spider, which had browning tips when I purchased it actually looks healthier.
Pothos plant does grow full submerged underwater. I have pothos growing in my aquarium underwater & it's doing just fine. Only thing is that the growth is slow.
A lot of plants will, from what I've seen, the leaves start to rot, you trim them off, and they will grow back but in a different shape for the conditions.
Monstera and Spiderplant work great too. A list would be great btw I tried doing some research and that topic and it's not that easy to find good information on it
I split a spider plant and have it growing underwater. Is that how you did it? Mine looks good after a week, but another commenter said theirs melted after about that long.
I've done this for...decades. Did Pothos and Peace lily for years. I can say..Pothos with roots in warm aquarium water and allowed to climb a wall next to a sunny window? Will grow the big adult foliage 8-10". Not quite the 20" or more of outdoor plants in the tropics..but still impressive. Right now I've got some things that are different like that. Hypoestes..the pink polka dot plant is growing well with roots in water,tops next to said window-lol. Same for African Mask Alocasia. Roots in water...tops above the waterline. Acorus is another good for hydroponics I have going. I want to add lemon grass. Something that can be top trimmed and used to add flavor to dishes. Finally for the moment?..Ficus "green island". I have it as a pot plant outdoors..took a 12" cutting. Ficus seem to take to roots in water,tops in air pretty well.
Ficus benjamina and ficus ginseng also do well. I fixed them to a fairly wide PVC pipe full of holes, on which I glued small java rocks. I don't mind some roots hanging in the water, but I also have pothos and other house plants in my tank.
Good video. Pothos are one of my favorite plants...so easy to propagate. I just got a new aquarium for my Beta, and had planned to try Pothos to vine out of the tank. Thank you for sharing!
I have 2 Bettas in a 10 gallon. In that tank I'm growing a small amount of guppy grass, pearlweed, anacharis, moss, Javafern, red root floaters, and Amazon frogbit. So far, my nitrates have been at 0 ppm for weeks. I have to actually fertilize the water so the plants don't die because the fish don't produce enough waste for them lol. So if you only have 1 Betta, the pothos might be enough to considerably lessen your water changes!
I just added some sprigs of Pathos to my planted aquarium to see how they do. I have had Lucky Bamboo in there for several months now, and it is doing fine, but not growing a lot. Also, my nitrate level is almost always 0, but it will be interesting to see what the Pathos does in there.
I have orchids in mine, but there is a trick to it. Make a hanging basket with suction cups. Before putting in the aquarium remove any unhealthy brown mushy roots and nursery moss/bark. Put your orchid in the basket on the waterside with only roots in the water for 2 days. Then for 3 days keep it out of the water hanging on the non-water side. I have successfully re-bloomed my orchids this way. I have heard you can leave 3/4 of the roots in water and 1/4 out and the plant can live 24/7 in the water but I can't see how this could promote the plant to bloom again just my two cents from keeping orchids for forever.
Will the roots need to be trimmed if you are mounting them into your tank? I saw a cool Video with sweet potatoes as a nitrate combatant, but the roots needed to be trimmed back weekly
Personally, I've got some golden pothos and lucky bamboo in 1 of 4 compartments, of my 2 double sided HOB filters, for my 75 gallon tank. They just love the 4ft shop light hanging from my ceiling above my aquarium. Planning to let it go up the wall.
My peace lily has been fully submerged for the past three months with only the white flower above waterline. It just died off the last week. Look great still though!
And actually I have Pothos completely submerged also!! Didn't know what it was until this video. It's been under for 2-3mo! You can CLEARLY tell what's grown submerged and what's not! If I could submit a photo I would show you!
In fact you can grow pothos under water it's extremely slow growing, but it can happen. Michael langerman has videos, explaining on how to grow them under water.
How’s the maintenance? I have excessive peppermint and lemon balm outside and was considering planting it in my tank. Do you cut the flower buds? Or let it it do it’s thing without trimming?
Great video. Love your house and decor! I have bamboo that's about 3' tall growing in my tank. Pothos and ivy. The bamboo has actually sprouted a new shoot in the tank. Going to try taking a section of my peace lily out and give that a try. Thanks for the video.
I personally have pathos under water it was just a experiment at first but the roots started to spread rapidly so I left it alone and one rooted into the rock substrate and one went to my sponge filter and well grew through it and out the bottom so I can say in my experience it does like being underwater as well
MasterOG I watched a video and the guy was like this is pathos in my aquarium and it was totally submerged. So I ran over to my girl friends house and got some pathos. I have put pathos I all of my aquariums fully submerged for the last 3 months. They are getting new leaves and the roots are fine.
I have had pothos completely submerged in one tank for 6 months now! It produced a few new leaves and is doing absolutely fine! I do inspect it often for dying leaves or debris. I now have them submerged in all my tanks.
If you grow it in gravel or lava rock with water flowing through it, it’s called Aquaphonics I think and you can also grow vegetables in there, cucumbers and beans and all kinds of stuff.
I put one in my Aquarium filter as a test, starting with only two leaves. It is now close to six feet long. So far no runners except the original vine. I'm gonna let it go as long as it can.
Hi there, great video. I’m wondering can you superglue either of these plants to maybe so wood sticking out of the top of the tank. Regards Duzzy from 🇦🇺
And to confirm this I have a golden pothos that is now 9 months underwater I have some death but at the rate that it grows it's so small I don't notice aside from having to clean up
Good video. Be aware that both plants have a degree of toxicity. I would keep young children away from them, or educate if older, but don't be put off from using them. I'm enjoying your channel.
Yes;! You need to grow this in your aquarium: it makes it so awesome looking. LOL 😆 On a.more.seriois note- I never used silver pathos, which is scindapsus - not pathos. Pathos and scindapsus are both members of the Araceae family. Peace.lilies are also in the Araceae. I am currently growing peace lilies in my aquarium. I have also tried to grow philodendron another plant in the Araceae family; it doesn't grow as vigorous as pathos or peace lillies though.
I actually rescued a pothos from my family and have been caring for it in my room (they somehow manage to kill anything green...) I didn't know what it was called until I looked closely and recognized the leaves as you talked about them. Very hardy plant indeed!
I’ve wondered about the possibility of this and am glad to have stumbled across your video tonight. Thank you so much. Would a 10 gallon tank be best for a peace lily start given they aren’t as deep as say as 30 gallon tank. Those as the two sizes I have and it seems that finding a peace lily start that would be tall enough for a 30 gallon tank will be challenging. We’re talking a fairly mature plant; wouldn’t you say? I live in a small city in Southern Oregon that doesn’t offer a tremendous choice of retailers. Oh dear....thanks, regardless. Much love, Victoria
I have a Peace Lily. While it likes moist soil the SO seams to drowned it and it yellows out. So this is interesting that like pothos it will thrive in water.
I'm currently experimenting with holiday cactus if you can believe it. I do have proof of concept, that piece is four sections. A chain of three with the fourth one being a branch off the three. The new growths grow skinny as you might expect, and Incredibly slowly in low poor light. So far the only success has been as a floating plant. I would be happy to share my UA-cam channel if I get the okay from the owner of this one. No it is not this account, the only videos you'll find on this account. The only videos you'll find on this account are mistakes that were uploaded to the wrong account.
Is the "red peace lily" or rather the red anthurium lily also a peace lily that is suitable for aquariums? Or is it just the white peace lily? Might be a dumb question but gotta find out:)
I have an African cichlid tank and use cichlid salt to create brackish water for them. I recently added Pothos, Peace Lily, and Mini Monstera. The plants appear to be doing OK so far, but was wondering if they will survive long term in the brackish water
To the people saying "but it is possible to grow pothos underwater". Sure, but to be fair, it won't grow nearly as well. Plants grow vastly more slowly underwater. If you're using pothos, you're presumably doing it to get that awesome plant filtration. For that you shouldn't deliberately handicap the plant by drastically reducing the available gases.
Better than both of them is Syngonium. Unlike Pothos,no long vines to deal with..it grows compact looking like a Calla lily. Give it lots of light and in 6 months its filtering out all the fishy smell,the nitrites and nitrates and ammonia are gone...you can feed the fish and not worry about ammonia spike from the defecations an hour later. The plant works so much harder than all the intank plants put together. IF i posted this before? Sorry!..get older by the day...
Yes it will. A small vine wont make much of a difference but a lot of pothos vines would out compete the aquatic plants unless you're dosing sufficient amounts.
Any ideas for plants that aren't toxic to cats? My cat likes to sit on top of my glass lids and will probably chew on the leaves of anything sticking out of an aquarium.
If this helps, I have 2 cats that do the same thing and haven't had any interest in my peace lily or pothos... of course, that's my experience. You know your cat better!
Annie Johnson, most commonly sold Pothos are silk/satin or gold Pothos, and they are toxic to cats. They cause irritation, swelling, vomiting, as well as neurological symptoms. There are a few varieties that are less toxic, but they don’t seem to be readily available. Peace lilies pose a similar level of toxicity. I love both of these plants. I’ve known many people who keep both these plants and cats in healthy harmony. I have a cat that loves to nibble house plants. He’s not the brightest creature. He’s beloved anyway. I have been doing research on non-toxic plants. Christmas cactus, African violets, Boston ferns, Hens & Chicks, Baby Rubber plant (not rubber plant, that’s toxic), Babies Tears, and quite a few others. I’m keeping a list in my wallet so when I run across one that speaks to me, I can buy it. I have kept a couple of HOB filters just for plants. I’m determined to try some of what is suggested here.
Prayer plants are cat safe and grow wonderfully in aquarium water, i took cuttings off mine and hung them on the back of my aquarium and they started to root in a couple of days. They’re really pretty too
Is it weird that my pothos grew new submerged leaves? I thought they would only make roots, but these guys have fully aquatic leaves now! Maybe its not quite pothos?
I have found that peace lilies love used coffee grounds mix a small amount in with the soil and just water they totally thrive on it. Now my husband makes a 8 cup serving of coffee. I put the whole amount in my pots and do it two or three times a year also add a little soil to refresh and water. I don't believe you can do the coffee grounds if you are using an aquarium.
I have a pothos that sent out a runner under water and has filled the tank. The leaves are smaller but very healthy.
I use a clear plastic dish sponge holder for the kitchen from the dollar tree. It comes with two suction cups and it has been in the tank for over three months. Hasn't let me down yet.
Brilliant!
I was thinking the same thing lol.
I brought the plant as an experiment.

Pics plzzzzzz
I use thinly sliced pool noodle to keep the roots in the tank but the leaves don't touch the water. It works great & one pool noodle makes tons of plant "floaties".
oh, great idea.
Thank you!
not only the video was helpful but everyone's comments are helpful to. Wish I could see photos of these beautiful tanks everyone's talking about.
I've had golden pothos thriving submerged for nearly a year so far. The fish and shrimp seem to love it & I haven't had to do a water change in a good bit
Fully submerged?
@@Zizie_sc yep. They don't grow very quickly under water but so far they haven't died back
Wow, that’s really interesting! Did they convert to a submerged form (like with diff structure/leaves) or did they stay in the same form?
@@carolinesalpeck2567 they look exactly the same as when I put them in
Find there fine as long as part of it is out of water to get air

You can find miniature peace lily at Lowe's. Have had one growing out aquarium top...for 2 years and is still about 7" tall.

Can you give more info on your set up?
I am very interested in what you are doing.

I wish my cat wasnt a dumb butt and chomped on plants, that pothos in your kitchen/ doorway made me so inspired! gorgeous!
My cat chomped on a few leaves, now she pushes it back to get to the water. Either she got a little sick and learned or doesn't like the taste.
Your semi-jungle home is beautiful.

They rot if people ignore maintenance~
A lot of plants will, from what I've seen, the leaves start to rot, you trim them off, and they will grow back but in a different shape for the conditions.
No, it won't..a submerged leaf will last a long time IF the rest of the stem is above water...that's why people think its growing underwater.
I've had pothos fully submerged sections grow new leaf underwater and above water.
For how long has it been alive? Many plants can survive long enough to reach the surface. But if they can't, they'll die.
Monstera and Spiderplant work great too. A list would be great btw I tried doing some research and that topic and it's not that easy to find good information on it
If you join axolotl aholics on Facebook and talk to wilhelm underwood, he has a huge list
I tried spider plant but it melted after a week or 2 and the rhizome got soft. Maybe it needed co2?
You grow spider plant out the top of your aquarium? Do you do anything special to it?
@@jeaninecollins5295 it doest work long term but if you replace them regularly with fresh offshoots you can propaganda a lot of spider plants

Agreed, we have both of these plants thriving in our indoor aquaponic garden. Great info in your video, thanks.
Great stuff. Can you please list the other plants you mentioned at the end of the video? Would be great!
If you grow it in gravel or lava rock with water flowing through it, it’s called Aquaphonics I think and you can also grow vegetables in there, cucumbers and beans and all kinds of stuff.
An awesome riparium plant is wandering Jew or purple Sabrina for some different color
Also, if it's in a HOB filter, trim it once a year because it will actually grow into the filter cartridge over time.
Thank you very much. Very informative. I will go get them tomorrow. Please if there is any more plants do more video about it I love it.
i love working with my plants
I grow a pothos underwater. no leaves have decayed yet and it's pushing out new growth, it's growing much slower as compared to above water
I put one in my Aquarium filter as a test, starting with only two leaves. It is now close to six feet long. So far no runners except the original vine. I'm gonna let it go as long as it can.
You still need to hang a print on the wall behind the nanos off your left shoulder. Maybe a Matisse?

Pothos can be grown underwater .. first their leafs die of then it start growing..
Will try..
It doesn't. A lot of videos are out there. It dies. Slowly but it dies.
@@kerime.7861 Not true at all. I have a 30 gallon tank planted heavily with underwater pothos plant. It's been almost a year.

Those as the two sizes I have and it seems that finding a peace lily start that would be tall enough for a 30 gallon tank will be challenging. We’re talking a fairly mature plant; wouldn’t you say? I live in a small city in Southern Oregon that doesn’t offer a tremendous choice of retailers. Oh dear....thanks, regardless. Much love, Victoria
My question is...does more leaves grow from a single leaf( with a node also )?? How many days for new leaves to appear ?
Pothos can definitely live fully submerged alongside philodendrons
Most people will let you pinch a cutting from their pothos. My granny got most of her plants from various cutting and cloning.
Thanks for the info
how about spider plant?
Thanks! This is helpful.
Sweet potato is good for aquarium to. 😁
I used pothos in my Oscar tank, worked great.
Awesome,gonna use these suggestions soon! Thanks “Tuna Vic”
Thank you for your inspiration!
I have a Peace Lily. While it likes moist soil the SO seams to drowned it and it yellows out. So this is interesting that like pothos it will thrive in water.
There's a difference between waterlogged soil and growing it in water.
Can you use ferns? Like maidens hair?
It would probably cause root rot
Nice cheers friend
I like to string the stem of pothos across the tank in a way where stem in tank leaves out side
I'm currently experimenting with holiday cactus if you can believe it.
I do have proof of concept, that piece is four sections. A chain of three with the fourth one being a branch off the three.
The new growths grow skinny as you might expect, and Incredibly slowly in low poor light.
So far the only success has been as a floating plant.
I would be happy to share my UA-cam channel if I get the okay from the owner of this one. No it is not this account, the only videos you'll find on this account. The only videos you'll find on this account are mistakes that were uploaded to the wrong account.
Is the "red peace lily" or rather the red anthurium lily also a peace lily that is suitable for aquariums? Or is it just the white peace lily? Might be a dumb question but gotta find out:)
I have an African cichlid tank and use cichlid salt to create brackish water for them. I recently added Pothos, Peace Lily, and Mini Monstera. The plants appear to be doing OK so far, but was wondering if they will survive long term in the brackish water
To the people saying "but it is possible to grow pothos underwater". Sure, but to be fair, it won't grow nearly as well. Plants grow vastly more slowly underwater. If you're using pothos, you're presumably doing it to get that awesome plant filtration. For that you shouldn't deliberately handicap the plant by drastically reducing the available gases.
Better than both of them is Syngonium. Unlike Pothos,no long vines to deal with..it grows compact looking like a Calla lily. Give it lots of light and in 6 months its filtering out all the fishy smell,the nitrites and nitrates and ammonia are gone...you can feed the fish and not worry about ammonia spike from the defecations an hour later. The plant works so much harder than all the intank plants put together.
IF i posted this before? Sorry!..get older by the day...
Question; If you have a planted tank, won't this rob the nutrients from the other plants in my tank?
Yes it will. A small vine wont make much of a difference but a lot of pothos vines would out compete the aquatic plants unless you're dosing sufficient amounts.
I tried photos in my tanks. My aquarium plants started dying, I took pothos out of the tank aquarium plants perked back up.
Any ideas for plants that aren't toxic to cats? My cat likes to sit on top of my glass lids and will probably chew on the leaves of anything sticking out of an aquarium.
If this helps, I have 2 cats that do the same thing and haven't had any interest in my peace lily or pothos... of course, that's my experience. You know your cat better!
Both pothos and peace lily are cat-safe.
Pothos even regenerates itself pretty well after a munching.
Annie Johnson, most commonly sold Pothos are silk/satin or gold Pothos, and they are toxic to cats. They cause irritation, swelling, vomiting, as well as neurological symptoms. There are a few varieties that are less toxic, but they don’t seem to be readily available.
Peace lilies pose a similar level of toxicity. I love both of these plants. I’ve known many people who keep both these plants and cats in healthy harmony. I have a cat that loves to nibble house plants. He’s not the brightest creature. He’s beloved anyway. I have been doing research on non-toxic plants. Christmas cactus, African violets, Boston ferns, Hens & Chicks, Baby Rubber plant (not rubber plant, that’s toxic), Babies Tears, and quite a few others. I’m keeping a list in my wallet so when I run across one that speaks to me, I can buy it. I have kept a couple of HOB filters just for plants. I’m determined to try some of what is suggested here.
@@lizardbabies I have been trying prayer plant and wandering jew both beautiful plants that are non toxic for my bird.
Prayer plants are cat safe and grow wonderfully in aquarium water, i took cuttings off mine and hung them on the back of my aquarium and they started to root in a couple of days. They’re really pretty too
Great video
Arrowhead vine and Mexican Petunia grow as well as Pothos with bottom on water, no soil or substrate required
I put a devil's ivy in my aquarium and a leaf grew underwater, it seems to be doing okay. Should I cut it? or just let it be?
Does pruning make the main root system grow faster? coz i want to reach the bottom of my tank
Is it weird that my pothos grew new submerged leaves? I thought they would only make roots, but these guys have fully aquatic leaves now! Maybe its not quite pothos?
I have horrible luck. I have been to 5 different garden centers an No Pothos plants. Some places had no idea what a pothos is.
Should warn that both plants are toxic to dogs and cats if chewed or eaten so must use caution when other pets in enviroment
I have 3 tanks going to have a 4th one is a goldfish tank and a betta tank and my guppy breeding tank and would these plants help
Home Depot 8 bucks. Take home wash off roots trim roots put roots into tank watch grow.
One of my tanks has pothos and philodendron growing in it, and another has pothos and monstera delicicosia.
I have all of these plants. Are they submerged?
I’ve got a Swiss cheese plant that’s put one big root down to the substrate.
You can put pothos plant under water they just grow slower
Just curious, if a plant in the tank gets too large, can you pot it in soil or keep it submerged in water in a bigger tank?
Pothos could be potted outside and then grow a stem along an aquarium.
thx for the vid, if u had to pick one: peace lily or pothos?
Flamingo plants do well too
Great video thank you!!!
Looks great going to give it a go🙂
I have found that peace lilies love used coffee grounds mix a small amount in with the soil and just water they totally thrive on it. Now my husband makes a 8 cup serving of coffee. I put the whole amount in my pots and do it two or three times a year also add a little soil to refresh and water.
I don't believe you can do the coffee grounds if you are using an aquarium.
Have you ever tried Orchid
Very well put video 👌🏼
