    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.

    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!

      @@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.)

    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.

      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 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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    • @AnoraJohnson

      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.

    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.

  • @stfrancisintheback5314
    @stfrancisintheback5314 3 роки тому

    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!

    @victoriagreenroyd3120 5 років тому

    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 was wondering if the order is being delayed because of the virus/USPS or if it slipped through the cracks. I can check here on youtube if you reply to this message. I've tried to message via your site and can't so this is my only way. I imagine the mail has just been delaying all deliveries. Please advise if you get this. I don't know what else to do.
