    Great video.
    Great riparium plant.
    I grow umbrella sedge for many years in my riparium, combined with a plenum gravel filter (custom home made). The moment it is establishing (after the second sprout), the growth is continuous and vigorous.
    It is not spreading too fast outwards from the main column, but it's root system will be all over in the aquarium/riparium substrate. It will not come out from the substrate, it tries to go as deep as it can. But, even if the roots would be exposed, they have a reddish coloring, which is very pretty and gives a natural aquatic appearance.
    Overall, great riparium plant, beginner friendly and good biological filter.
    My next try will be with Schoenoplectus lacustris (lakeshore bulrush), because Phragmites australis (common reed) is way too aggressive in shoots and sprouting (need to be contained). 🙂

    Awesome information. I've used the approach for several years with great results. We have very hard water in New Mexico. My question is will plants soften the water by taking up calcium. I've gone 6,7 months before doing a water change. Thanks for the video.

    Is it possible to grow this directly in tank substrate instead of a hanging planter?

      Yes in a shallow tank, all of the foliage needs to be above the water

    Do you have issues with fish jumping out of the open-top sides of your tanks? I dream of having a peace lily/cat palm combo growing out of my tank, but I am so paranoid😰

    • @plantlifeproject
      @plantlifeproject  3 місяці тому +2

      I have not had any problems with jumping fish. It just depends on the fish species you’re keeping I think.

      Well that sucks. Not sure why. I have never had that problem. You could try placing it partially submerged with the crown above the water line? Have you tried growing it in soil and not in the water?
