    My mum gets her yoghurt from a local farm which sells home made yoghurt in plastic tubs. I get these tubs from my mum and propagate carpeting plants in those. Growing plants in tubs is awesome! They just get day/sun light. May not grow as fast as yours but I get a lot of daylight due to large windows both sides of my apartment.

    I was like meh, because i am lazy person, until i saw roots you got on them. This is totally way to go for me, because they have always so small roots, when you buy them and planting isnt easy. These will also be stronger against algae at beginning. Thanks

      Yes I tried to plant them into one of my tank and the deference is huge - planting is easy and plants growing much faster compared to invitro plants.

    ❤ That's a great idea for sure , and I have had a lot of issues with Cuba in the past but seeing what you can do especially now that I have CO2 in a few of my tanks but I will be starting w Monte Carlo and hopefully it will be my first carpet !!

    The plants growing in tub will have the same leaves as if they were growing up submerged? People said the leaves are different and when you put them back from tub to water, the leaves will "melt" and need to wait for the "submerged leaves" tol grow back.

      The mosses don't need substrate to grow so they can't get nutrients from it. I saw some people spray them with some fertilizer mix to supply some nutrients for them, I guess that's how it works.

      Do you clean the containers before? Do you use soil that has been outside? Try fresh soil (or another medium like stratum)! Use less water (just enough to dampen the soil) Open the containers every week for a few minutes to let in fresh air (make sure it doesnt get too dry!) if that doesnt work, your light might be too bright or too warm :) Hope it helps!
