    00:13 I take a sample of land grass from Central Park in NYC to check if it will grow underwater in my aquariums too ;)
    Wash the grass clean from any dirt.
    It was an important step for growing other land plants/mosses underwater ;)
    Put the clean grass in a jar or a glass with dechlorinated water.
    Initially I keep the sample on a windowsill exposed to direct sunlight.
    00:45 First bubbles on the grass could be air trapped underwater.
    Shake those bubbles off.
    June 13th, 2018
    00:56 New bubbles indicate that plant is alive and produces oxygen.
    01:06 I anchor the grass with a seashell in a new nursery aquarium.
    June 26th, 2018
    01:14 I take new samples of land grass from Roosevelt Island.
    There are many different types of grasses growing everywhere!
    Looks like I got three types of grass.
    Wash it all thoroughly!
    Remove any wilted leaves.
    01:58 This time I fill cups with dechlorinated water, leaving leaves above the water.
    The idea is to grow new leaves underwater as I did with Peace lily and Pothos converting those plants to grow underwater.
    It is difficult to remove old leaves from big clusters of grass.
    I leave it as it is but water may get brownish.
    I keep new samples on a windowsill.
    July 9th, 2018
    02:38 The first samples did not survive.
    July 10th, 2018
    02:44 The second samples grow high.
    Remove any wilted leaves and trim the grass.
    02:54 There are some new leaves grow underwater!
    Keep those leaves underwater.
    No new leaves on this sample.
    Add dechlorinated water.
    Cover cups to reduce evaporation.
    July 16th, 2018
    Add water to keep all new leaves fully submerged underwater.
    03:38 The new sprouts look healthy!
    July 21st, 2018
    Old leaves grow fast above water while old submerged leaves wilt.
    New submerged leaves grow slowly.
    04:03 I trim the old leaves and add water weekly.
    July 30th, 2018
    04:14 The samples have been submerged for over a month.
    August 1st, 2018
    04:24 Tannin from old wilted leaves makes the water yellowish.
    Here are the new green leaves that sprout and grow underwater.
    Remove and trim off all wilted leaves.
    04:57 I am going to move this grass into a new aquarium for further observation.
    In this example, I use one seashell to anchor both plants.
    05:25 Here it goes into the new nursery.
    Also, I add some other land mosses into this nursery.
    More about them in future videos ;)
    August 3rd, 2018
    There are some green sprouts in this sample of grass.
    Most of the submerged old leaves wilted.
    Water is brownish.
    Untangle and remove all wilted leaves and rotten roots.
    It leaves me with about a dozen sprouts that grew underwater.
    Put them in a larger jar.
    Add dechlorinated water.
    I populate all my aquariums with seed shrimps.
    Make sure plants are submerged.
    06:28 The grass in the aquarium with fish looks good.
    August 15th, 2018
    August 21st, 2018
    I add pond snails into this nursery.
    There are oxygen bubbles on the grass.
    September 2nd, 2018
    I move this grass with seed shrimps and snails into a larger jar.
    One of the grass stems has grown noticeably longer than the others.
    September 25th, 2018
    07:09 This samples of the land grass has been underwater 3 months and counting.
    Old leaves wilt as time goes and new leaves seem to be slowly growing.
    I will keep you updated.
    Have fun and happy aquariums :)

      Learning languages could be easy for some and difficult for others (like my). There are many ways to get it done - studying at college is one of them. The other, probably the most powerful way to learn any language fast on fluent level is to get girlfriend/boyfriend native/fluently speaking in the language of your interest ;)

      Little did everyone know, the smiley face was actually a cry for help. The aquatic land grasses were slowly taking over and Michael was trapped. The aquatic land grass spoke,”what will you do now sir”. At this point Michael was breathing a heavy and panicked nerve through the air. “What do you want from me?” Michael replied. “I need your help with something in particular...The White House”. “NO!” Replied Michael, for he knew what the aquatic land grass was saying and meant. “YES YOU WILLLLLL and you will tell me the password to the proxy servers.” The grasses plan was to take over the world by spreading his deadly rhiosomes. “Under one circumstance”, said the man. “AND WHATS THAT!”. “Let me whatch one video on UA-cam before I follow said orders”. “FINE” said the Aquatic Land Grass. Michael quickly pulled out his computer and scrolled through countless comments while the grass was photosynthesising until he found a very recent comment. He looked up and quickly wrote a encrypted message to said user. The grass came over and as a result Michael quickly deleted his work and inserted a smiley face :) hoping the user would catch on. After such actions micheal lashed out on the grass with a fire started from his computer and was never heard from again. May Michael forever be remembered as the man that saved the world from The Aquatic Land Grass. Learn from this man my brothers and follow his ways. For you will never know if you run into a viscous type of grass, in this case...aquatic land grass.............................................................Live On Michael...............

      Noah EB4311 I don’t know if you are familiar with creeping jenny. It’s probably the most common plant for hanging vases here in Australia. My parents has one and it’s growing very well, too well. My mum kinda liked the way stems grow lush and long so she doesn’t like to trim it. One day I found that the tip of a stem is actually submerged in the pond below. I came back to visit my parents the next week and found the submerged stem was actually sprouting new leaves. So I cut a few stems and see if they really grow under water. Surely enough, my aquarium is covered with them now two months later.

      Michael Langerman yeah it’s quite interesting. I’ve been keeping planted aquariums for some time now and thought I was familiar with most of the characteristics of aquatic/semiautomatic plants. But creeping jenny exhibits some behaviours I’ve never seen.
      For some aquatic plants, if you suddenly take them out of water and grow them in the air, or do the exact reverse, they will shed leaves and grow new ones to adapt to the new condition. Example: Alternantera Reineckii. The leaves die after radical condition change but new ones grow back in about a week, looking exactly like the old ones.
      For some others, a sudden change of condition (either from water to air or air to water) will cause them to grow new types of leaves that look nothing like the old ones. Example: Rotala Rotundifolia. When you grow them out of water, new leaves are round and green. When you grow them under water, the new leaves are pointy and reddish near the stem.
      Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia Nummularia) is an exception. It doesn’t give a fuck about radical condition change. It just continues to grow like nothing happened when you cut a terrestrial stem and put it in water. I think there are a lot of fun experiments you can do with this plant Michael.

    quite an interesting experiment - im a commercial landscaper - so seeing grass like that submerged in water is interesting to me considering some of those grass grow rapidly in less than a week on dry normal land
    - especially the nutsedge grass - that is mostly considered a weed considering the grass rapidly grows in two days and its hard to kill it with normal weed killer , it drains all the water from near by roots of other grass leaving yellow spots on people's lawns --- seeing that grass still alive after a month submerged in water is incredible to see

      There are long list of reasons for plant to die.
      Even invasive plants such as...Elodea may die. It could be due to the way plants were kept through transportation from farm to the store. You may not even notice that you bought damaged plant to begin with. Next time you at the store shopping for plants make sure to ask when those plants were delivered and from where - newly arrived and from long oversea are at higher risk.
      But you are better get plants, fish or whatever from your friends ;) Check this out to get an idea: ua-cam.com/video/CL6a13Pq60o/v-deo.html

The elephant ears grow slowly and don’t support more than two leaves at a time, but are still healthy. The aloe isn’t submerged at all, it sits in a hole in the lid with the roots touching the water, as to not overwater it. 😁 my betta loves resting in the roots of the bigger elephant ear.

      I record clips to the point where I see results interesting to share (most of my recordings go to trash after couple years of me not using them). Then I put them together and add text, music and whatever editing may come on my mind. Let my daughter proof read my drafts. Then I put voice over and compile a video. Then I make a draft of blog post ready for publication. Then I sit on it for at least a couple weeks (4-6 weeks for most of my videos). Then I publish the video and the blog.

    Is there a follow up video of this? I can't find one.
    Aquatic plants will be unavailable for me during winter so I've come up with a plan to do about the same thing as you do but with houseplant fern.
    So far it's been 3 weeks underwater in my main tank and I think it is beginning to adapt. About 50% of the branches have died. The other branches seem fine. I think there is some growing happening but it's too early to really tell yet.

    • @4me
      @4me  9 місяців тому +3

      I don't have follow up with this grass. I tried growing fern - no success on that yet. There are some thoughts on growing land plants in aquariums. I mentioned them in different videos, but it needs repeating. I believe the same types of plants have different personalities - just like people do. I use the same type of mosses and cuttings from the same houseplants to grow underwater in exactly the same aquariums settings - and they grow differently. Some don't grow at all. Sure, there are many factors at play and yet. I publish only experiments with positive results most of the time - many more experiments with negative results (those are the most valuable to me from learning value point) never make it to the UA-cam. Who would want to watch it?
      There are general trend among most plants/mosses that I tried.
      Normally fast growing plants would grow much slower underwater and slow growing plants grow faster. Most plants would not produce flowers. I use mostly plants growing from cuttings.
      Grown underwater land plants often do not survive or have really hard time adapting to grow back on the land.
      Growing land plants with roots in water is much more effective and beneficial for aquarium health than growing the same plans fully submerged - that is probably the most important for majority of people interesting in aquariums. And that is one of the key points for making long term sustainable aquariums.
      And one of my most recent - It's surprisingly easier to keep small sized sustainable aquarium gardens than the large. I am going to make a video about it for sure!

    The key seems to be the gradual conversion over time for the grasses. When we visit local streams we often see grasses grown at or near the banks of the streams. The streams flood periodically and submerge these grasses and then go back down exposing the grass again. With an increased interest in emerging plants in aquariums it would be interesting to see a shallow aquarium set up with grasses where the roots are under water but the leaves have a chance to emerge out of the water.

    • @4me
      @4me  5 років тому

      That would be interesting and challenging to set up aquarium.
      My aquariums rather small for such adventure and...and I am steering away from using any electrical equipment directly in my aquariums. On the other hand...I deem it is feasible to build such system. Perhaps in future I will ;)
      All the best!

    • @masonfranz9313
      @masonfranz9313 5 років тому +1

      My thought was to take advantage of your long term planning and DIY nature in building a new aquarium for this experiment. Since most of the grasses in your area are going dormant now, looking ahead to Spring would be interesting and give you time to build if interested.
      New aquarium could be the following dimensions: 600mm L x Your window sill depth - 20mm for set back D x 80mm H.
      This long narrow aquarium would pose an interesting dimension, as if you had lined many of your bottles in a row. The new found grasses could be submerged in 20-40mm of gravel/soil as grasses typically have shallow root systems. This would give good rooting and stability for the grasses to grow out of the water and emerge from the top of your aquarium. Floating plants like the duckweed found in the pond over the Summer could be used at the top of the water column to provide security to any creatures you might put into the new aquarium.
      Just and idea. No hurt feelings if you have other projects in mind.

      There are more types of plants than animals and insects put together to check on to begin with ;) Far from every plant can be converted into aquatic - some plants out of those that I tried can.
      There are more than couple interesting things about plants in this regard. Every plant that I tried so far can grow in aquaponic settings (with only roots fully or partially in water). In aquaponics, some plants grow better and some worse than normally you may see them on land. There are a lot to learn for sure.
      I am in process of making space for new aquariums to accommodate new plants and pets I would like to try this year :) Nasturtium officinale seems as the plant I may want to try. No silly promises on my account though. I try what I get my hands on for sure. If I find Nasturtium officinale this year - you will see in my videos how it goes ;)

    I did this once, but instead of putting the plants and roots in the tank, I just cut off the roots and boiled them....
    They lasted for a while, but not long enough. Probably about a week, lol.
    Please, keep us updated on this!!! 😃

      The way you described it is very well known culinary technique resulting in what is known as mash potato. In my settings it last to the end of the meal time the most.

    I also did some experiments and if you plant the grass in a pot first with mud and let it multiply and then put the pot under water it will grow.

    @Michael langerman what plants can I use as filter for my aquarium?

      Aquatic plants are best suited

    • @4me
      @4me  5 років тому

      I prefer to use combination of slow and fast growing plants with algae in any aquarium.
      Which particular plant to use it depends on your preferences, stile and etc.
      Check videos on this playlist for details about plants I tried so far: ua-cam.com/video/sSgqNh0FkCs/v-deo.html
      All the best!
