I wish I knew how to do this before when I used to throw out buckets full of MC after trimming. Thanks for sharing bro. Love this!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
This hurts my soul... I could use a bucket. XD
Love the song "Realization" you used as intro, I used it recently in one of my videos. Funny comment "this video is not so dramatic" because song is really impactful and dramatic. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks!! I appreciate it.
I do this with mosses. Literally just take an old take out container or cheap tupperware and toss some moss in, spray it with dechlorinated water like once a week, and set it remotely near a window.
Dude you did it! Thanks for sharing again! Like always super good content! I recently planted HC Cuba in my tank, and I think I bought too much of it, and I'll definitely try this out!
Thanks for watching!! Try it!

Thanks!! 👍
Awesome video, definitely need to start doing this with plant trimmings, one question, I dont have easy access to an RODI unit so I can use distilled water?
Thanks!! You can use tap water as well it's OK. I use RO water because I already have it at home.
Great man
Thanks!!
👍👍👍
Great video... What about java fern or anubias on piece of wood... ?
New fan of you work. Great informative video.
Just FYI, "transparent foil" is called cling film (or "saran wrap" by the Americans)
Cool, thanks! :) I learned something new today!
Fantastic video!! Instant subscriber! Can this be done with moss? Any vids on moss emersed? Thanks
Thanks!! Yes it can.
Володя красавчик!
Master vladimir stojanovic 💪💪💪
Sounds like some creepy vampire
Nice video bro, i like it
Thanks!!
Nice, how about floating plants like red root floaters if there are too much of it how to grow out side of tank? use cups or plates? any better advices?
Thanks!! I grew them outside in a plastic tub. But I guess the cups and plates will work just fine indoor.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 cheers coolest
I throw out my trimmings after about two weeks since that's how long it takes me to rescue all the baby pond and bladder snails from the trimming bucket
With stem plants. Do you stick then to the soil or lay it flat above the soil just like what you did on monte carlo?
Plants that have stronger stems can be planted, those with weaker ones like rotala just lay flat on the soil.
I fuc*ing love you man for this
👍
I love this video... it's so.... Quentin Tarentino or something lol
Thanks for the video. May I know if I can grow flame and Christmas moss this way?
Yes you can. But you don't need soil, you can put it on a piece of wood,stone... Stainless steel mash or pvc mash.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 thank you very much! Please keep updating us on your tanks.
I put Christmas moss in a jar in spring..and its been outside in shade in what has been a long warm summer and it's hardly grown. I expected it to have filled that jar by now.
Great video my friend 👍 I just found your channel! New subscriber here 😃 have a great day !
Thanks and welcome :) I appreciate it!!
This video is very interesting and I liked . Thanks a lot, but it's good to buy plants from suppliers . There are people who work and need a salary. Anyway, I make Wabi-kusas with the rest of plants sometimes. Cheers!
Thanks!!
how long do you keep in the container for, before they could be planted ?
great video by the way x
Thanks!! Plants can be in a container as long as we want.
🔝 Video! Thx! What do you do with the moss? The same?
Yes. You can also put it on driftwood (in some container) and it will grow if there is enough moisture and light.
this way we can store newly bought plants before planting in aquarium?
Yes,most plants.
This was so helpful. Just recently had to remove all my plants from a small tank, so I had them sitting in a Prego jar with some aquarium water. But this sounds a little better. Can I do the same from seeds? I'm having trouble , 🥺 they keep molding over. I keep the lights on 24hrs the first day and the substrate is fluval stratum from an existing tank. Plz help
Glad it helped! I have never tried seeds.
what happend if I put a bit more water (not entirely submerge but just cover the surface and the roots)
I haven't tried it but I guess algae can occur.
How do you know when the trimmings are developed enough to plant in another tank?
You can plant them right in the tank or you can wait for them to grow more. The longer you wait, the more plants you will have.
WOW where on earth did you get such long tools
I would like to get some
I want to start a tank of plants for a beta fish and little friends if possible
I will get the tools and
tank before the fish
thank you for this video have a great day enjoy life I will take care y'all 🌞😁😷🤓😎🤩
Thanks for watching!! Aquascaping tools is available almost everywhere, you will easily find it.
hi can u use potting soil with no cap instead of aqua soil?
Hi. Yes, but it must be covered for at least the first 3 weeks. Plants must make the transition to emersed form, and this requires humidity. Afterwards, the cover can be gradually removed. But anyway, it all depends on the type of plant.
Maybe this could help, for rotala keep water level 1 cm above the substrate
Thanks!! I'll keep that in mind.
Does the plastic wrap needs to be tight? No air in /out?
It can be and it doesn't have to be. Just need to pay attention to whether the plants have enough moisture.
Hey great tutorial and information provided.. Please tell me what is the light hours we have to follow in this method.
Thanks!! I keep 7 hours a day.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 sure.. Thank you for the info 😊👍👍
I had to buy a rotala for my Guppy, very big plant with a lot of roots. In my 70L aquarium i had no substrate, just sand and gravel. The roots now are dead, the plant is still anchored in the gravel, and new roots are born that are floating in the water. What i have to do? I'm cutting them in the rotten part and placing the new roots under some rocks. Will them grow well?
For rotalas and other stem plants, the roots are not so important. You can only plant a stem and the plant will develop roots and will grow. Of course if you have the right conditions in the tank.
This may be a dumb question but will they melt back after you submerge them again?
These plants in the video will not, at least that is my experience. The only plant that melted for me was cryptocoryne. By the way your question is not dumb it is OK. Thanks for watching!
Good information.
The ventilation for fresh air is not needed?
It shold be covered with foil all the time except for spraying water?
Sometimes I like to remove the foil and see what happens to the plants.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 Then what happens to the plants??Thanks Sir Thanks for Sharing your KNOWLEDGE
@@fredrickfernandes1227 I didn't express myself correctly, I sometimes remove the foil to check the plants. To see how they are progressing and to check if they have enough moisture.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 Thanks alot
Do we need to spray everyday till we use the plants? Or we can stop once it has attained immersed growth?
Then it can be sprayed less often, but we can see for ourselves by the plants whether they need extra moisture or not.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 Thank you :)
Can you grow moss this way
Yes of course, the ideal method for moss.
Can I use gardening soil for this?
I'm not sure, it should be possible. But you have to make sure that there are no parasites in the soil that damage the plants.
Great & helpful video, love it! One question please, i live in Indonesia where the weather is quite hot as hell.. 31-32 C at noon with no Aircon.. do you think i am still able to do it with this method? Or it is okay to add some fan? But if i install fan, then i cannot seal the container as advised in the video.. how yo you think? Thanks before 🙏🙏
greetings, i am from malaysia, and when i try this method i usually end up with lots of mold.. seems like our weather did not favor this method?
32 C is in the house?
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 literally yes, 32C in the house in the afternoon is normal for us, so i always use fan to reduce the heat to somewhere between 26-27C.. do you have any idea to keep trimmed plants in this situation (32C)? 😂
@@shngsam8777 haha same condition here.. melting plants and mold everywhere. If anyone have any idea to keep trimmed plants in this extreme condition it would be awesome🎉
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 yes, and sometimes even higher temperature in the house.. hot and humid
can i use normal potting soil instead of aquarium soil? or even garden soil?
I'm not sure, it should be possible. But you have to make sure that there are no parasites in the soil that damage the plants.
Nice work bro. Which plant i can store like this (dry start type)
Thanks. A lot of plants. Example,Vallisneria and sagittaria are some that cannot be kept in this way... All types rotala,cryptpcoryne,hydrocotyle,ludwigia,bacopa,hygrophila,alternanthera,liliaeopsis,moss.... Hc cuba,monte carlo,hemianthus micranthemoides,glossostigma,hairgrass (not trimmings,hg should have roots)...etc...can.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 Thanks Bro for valuable information 👍
I like rotala burnout 😅😅😅
Hhaahhaahha 😆
Can we do the same trick on baby java fern as well ??
I've never tried it but I think it can. Rhizome should not be planted in the soil as with anubias.
How can we do carpeting on an already live aquarium? Can you do a video on that?
I'll keep that in mind. Mostly plants are planted in the substrate normally. You can watch my video reconnected, there I had to transplant some plants including HC cuba. Thanks for watching!!
Can we try moss growth like this?
Yes.
how do you prevent mold? i tried this and my plants got covered in mold.
I occasionally ventilate the plants. If you have a mold problem, try leaving half a centimeter uncovered on one side of the container.
How long they grow full carpet in dsm ? Thanks
Well not as fast as in a tank with CO2 and fertilizer. It grows more slowly in dsm. But if you plant densely at the beginning, the carpet will form faster.
Can you post a video for fern and anubias?
I haven't tried this with the fern yet.
Hello how long have you been shining?
Hi! If you think how long the lights are on, 7 hours a day. Thanks for watching!!
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 I candles 12h and slowly grows, I wanted to increase and here such a surprise only 7h, thx
Yes 7 hours a day, I keep the lighting in all my aquariums 6 hours a day :)
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 and for this there are no algae, but without water they will not grow, so on dry candles 12, have a nice day :)
Bravo, I meni je zao bacati plants. I do the same. Samo nemam mesta nikad... haha
I kod mene je sve manje mesta hahah
Hi! Does it work on dwarf sagittaria?
New sub btw
Okay it does not work for me but you can always try
Thanks!! I'm not sure it will work for sagittaria or vallisneria.
What about the smallest trim? Can it be keep it like that?
Yes, of course, it will just take longer to grow. Hairgrass trimmings cannot be used (I mentioned this because I don’t know what kind of plants you have).
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 Yes, thanks for replying. And yes, excluding hairgrass. You did it only for the stem plants?
Is this method for keeping the plants fresh so they can be replanted , or the plants actually grow in it
Plants can grow in it for months.
I dont know why my Monte Carlo grow not well. Some of them melting and some growing. My tank is now about 8 days old.
What are you growing them in? Soil, substrate, sand? Do u have fish in? If your tank is only 8 days old there wouldn't be enough nutrients in the water ie nitrates for the plants to feed on, best to add plants after your tank is cycled, about 4-6 weeks or start off with cycled sponge and media in your filter if you want to add plants straight away..
Can I use sunlight instead of inhouse light?
Yes. But not direct sunlight in the summer.
Is ok to put direct to sunlight ?
Noo
Can you do this with DHG trimmings?
Hairgrass?
Vladimir Stojanovic yes
@@exit9b150 No,It will not work with hairgrass trimmings.
Vladimir Stojanovic okay thank you
do you have to fertilize? do you use fertilizer funds? do you use only RO water?
No need for fertilizer, aquarium soil is enough. I use RO water because I already have it at home, but tap water can also be used.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 so it must be fertilized soil? which brand do you recommend?
@@JonathanUnexpected Tropica or ADA amazonia.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 tnk
I know this is kind of a stupid question but wont the Monte carlo melt or like why is it not melting?
In my experience, it never melts when added to an aquarium. If that's what you meant.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 I mean wont it melt when you transfer it from the aquarium to the little containers (from submersed to emersed)?
No, it didn't melt.
First
What soil do you use for growing? Thanks
Tropica and ADA amazonia.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 thanks!
Can we use black garden soil?
I've never used it, but it probably can.
how about carpet seed ? can it be replanted like that?
I’ve never worked with seed but I believe it can.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 ok thanks.
Very nice #diyaquarist
Thanks!!
Is there anyway you can sell some of the left over plants??
Me?
Vladimir Stojanovic yeah, I’ve been searching for Monte Carlo at my nearest aquatic stores and no one has it. I took online and it’s always out of stock 😕
@@misteralex01 Yes, it's similar here. I rarely sell plants, but even when I sell something then I sell locally.
Can i put the plant outside of the house?
Yes, but not in direct sunlight in the summer.
thanks.. I usually just throw it away, but now i'll try to make money from exess plants
how u deal with mold or fungus?
Occasionally I remove the foil and ventilate the plants. So far, I've only had problems with mold on my anubias.
How do you replant monte carlo from this form? :)
Normally... I cut it with scissors into small portions and plant it with tweezers in the substrate :)
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 thank you so much sir 🙏😌 i got weirded out because mine got longer everytime i plant it, it looks like somethings wrong now i realized that maybe it is the height. Hehe thank you! 😌🙏
Won't plants melt once you shift them to an aquarium?
Some types of plants will melt, such as cryptocoryne. Some will just transform and continue to grow underwater.
@@vladimirstojanovic3603 thanks Vladimir....always enjoy your tanks👍
a ja si mislim, dal da nakon duge paze napunim bar 50l, samo neke brevise.
Ako se predomislim, budem pelcovo... odnekud.
Transparent foil better known as plastic wrap.
Thank you!! 👍👍👍
whats the name of the plant in 04:10
HC Cuba. I have it in two containers, so I didn't write the name twice.
You wanna know something?
Got one more subscribe!😁
Thanks!! I appreciate it.
Merhabalar,
Türkçe alt yazı olursa çok sevinirim. İzlenme sayıların Attar. Başarılar

I don't like immersed plants takes long convert to submerged growth
Well some species yes some don't.
That's not monte Carlo, monte Carlo is an auto rifle
:D
Dude that's seran wrap.not transparent foil....wtf
Sorry my english baaaad :D
