Hi Mike, thanks for your order and for checking in. I am also happy to hear that you enjoy the videos!!! I am here to help people learn to propagate their own plants so that means a lot! Cheers 👍
It's always a pleasure to see your room; everything looks orderly & serene... 😌💕 Dude, IME propagating anubias they tend to take a while to settle in & then all of a sudden? Out of nowhere, bam! The plant gets bigger & bigger until a mother plant is formed. Give it a go, man. There's just something oddly satisfying about holding a huge mass of anubias in one's palm!
Wow amazing setup. I wonder how you can keep all of the box in high humidity? Do you have automatic pump timer? or any action to keep good humidity condition every day? Thank you.

I am working on farming nana petite. You mentioned using an evening spray of higher concentration of aquaponics fertilizer. If diluted to recommended amounts on the fert concentrate pkg, would you consider that diluted for say Java fern or high concentration for Anubias? If not, how much should I increase the mixture for anubias. I also just changed my lighting around per your recommendations. You’re one of my favorite channels and are inspiring me to play with more immerse grown favorites just for the experience.
Good question. It is difficult to say for certain what concentrations to use as all fertilizers are different. But, in general, for Anubias, mixing solution to the package recommended hydro concentration should be about right for spraying Anubias at night. I would go with .5 to .25 concentration for the morning spray.
Definitely. Each substrate comes with pros and cons. I like hydroton because it is clean and easy to work with. Soil based setups tend to grow faster but they are far more messy to work with.
Depends on the setup. Soil based doesn't need much foliar spray. If using a static hydroton setup then plants definitely benefit from foliar spray. The more consistent with the spray the more successful in general. 👍
Love the channel my man! Question, do you add ferts in the water as well as spraying?!?(if so whats the ratio and how often do you do water changes). And is it with the 9-3-6? Thanks my man!!!
Great video update Will. I noticed you had water just below the hydroton in your containers, is that the same in your tank setup with all of your plants or are you just sticking to the spraying only. I'm wondering long term if spraying only compared to having water at the line of the Hydroton in conjunction to spraying is better for growth.
There is actually a bit of fertilizer water at the bottom but only a small amount to begin with. As you spray the plants thought the fertilizer solution slowly builds up at the bottom and eventually the plants are in a pool of fertilizer solution. Ive found that Anubias doesn't necessarily require as much water under them as Java Fern does. This is a good thought, I am always looking at the differences in setups and trying to discern what pros and cons come from each setup. I will have more information to report in time :)
Really fascinating. Does anubias have a different emersed vs submerged form like other amphibious plants? Do they need to adapt from submerged to emersed growth and vice versa?
Hi your video is so fun. Can I purchase some anubias and java fern seeds from your farm ? I have enough adult plants for both so like to try growing seeds and experience the same fun you share in your channel. I have just tried placing the order on your website thx
What I really mean is foliar spray. It is a dilute hydroponic solution that I sprayed on the leaves of the plant. Most plants can absorb nutrients through their leaves in addition to their roots. So when you apply nutrients to the leaves you can get more nutrients into the plant, in many circumstances.
Hi, I'm a fan from Thailand and I am trying to propagate my anubias emersed in a tube just like you. my anubias and java fern don't seem to grow so I wonder does temperature matters? though I keep my tube in a room, the temperature gets pretty hot here during the day (30-sih celsius).
They grow very slowly so you may need to give them more time, however, 30 C is getting pretty warm. You might need to allow for a bit of air circulation, just make sure they don't dry out too much 👍
@@AquariumPlantLab thank you very much for your advice! i will let them grow in closed tube for a couple more weeks. if they dont seem to grow or too little i might just let some air circulate through the tube.
Yup, should work great. Just pay attention to the plants. If not growing much I would try to get them more light. If they are looking too dry then move to less.
Thank you for watching! Some plants I am currently considering include Java Fern Windelov (almost ready to start selling actually), Ludwigia, and Vallisneria! The ultimate goal is to have a large variety of plants available on my website (and videos about them of course) 🌱
@@AquariumPlantLab That's awesome! All the plants you're currently growing look really healthy and vibrant, and I'm sure the species you plan to grow in the future will look just as great. Do you have an email that I could contact you with by any chance?

Wow, that’s crazy how slowly Anubias grows from seed! Three months... you have the patience of Job, Sir! 🌱 🪴 ❤️
sooooo slow.... 😂
Always enjoy your videos. The best propagation vids out there in my view. I bought plants a few months back and they are doing great!

Very interisting knowledge, helps alot. Thanks!
A new video is always nice 😍😍 its looking very great 😁😁 keep up the good work and hope to see more videos 😁😁
Love from the netherlands 😘

Absolutely! I love Anubias mother plants. My Anubias only aquarium is out of control at this point 😆

Thank you.
Great vid man!
Thank you sir!!
Thank you for sharing the great video. Can I this apply to bucepalandra?
what size clay balls did you use?
Can u provide the link where u get the 2x2 cup? Thanks

What brad of your plastic storage box??
Nice
Try growing them on bog wood and using co2 growth is a lot faster
Wow
🌱 🐠 💧
Can we keep this setup in Direct sunlight???

is there difference in growth rate if you use different substrate ?
Definitely. Each substrate comes with pros and cons. I like hydroton because it is clean and easy to work with. Soil based setups tend to grow faster but they are far more messy to work with.
@@AquariumPlantLab i see thank you! your channel are full of knowledge
So you have to use foliarspray everyday for all your plants?
Depends on the setup. Soil based doesn't need much foliar spray. If using a static hydroton setup then plants definitely benefit from foliar spray. The more consistent with the spray the more successful in general. 👍

Why not u do the hydroponic method with running water with diluted fertiliser
Really fascinating. Does anubias have a different emersed vs submerged form like other amphibious plants? Do they need to adapt from submerged to emersed growth and vice versa?
I have a few videos on this topic. Anubias, converts back and forth very nicely, typically with very minimal melt.

Is indirect sunlight enough for the anubias?
Yup, should work great. Just pay attention to the plants. If not growing much I would try to get them more light. If they are looking too dry then move to less.
Great video! Are you planning to expand to any other species in the near future?

@@mayureshvisswanathan2814 quality is my top priority!
You can message me on my Instagram account, it’s: nw_aquahobby 👍
@@AquariumPlantLab Just sent an instagram DM to you, thank you!
Whats the substrate for anubias? Thank you
In this tank I am using hydroton, otherwise known as Light Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) 👍
I didn't get any seeds from Anubias flowers and I don't know why
Did you pollinate the flowers? You need to manually pollinate the flowers otherwise no seed will be produced.
@@AquariumPlantLab oh do not say that
I did not do anything i will try with new flowers

Anubias are a pain, soooo slow growing.
yes they are 😂
