Cупер! Спасибо за полезное видео!
I love this! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
I hope this will help more hobbyist to have success
Perfect. thank you for the good information
Very cool, i will give this a try
Love from INDIA ❤😊
frist one!
Thanks for sharing, looking very good👍🏻 I will try
nice
This was cool! Awesome to see a closer emulation of the OG Wabi kusa balls. The end result oddly made me hungry 🍔Looking forward to seeing what you do with it
I’ll attach plants the right way, because this is where most other tutorials fail again 🙈
This was a really great video!
Something I hadn't ventured into yet but it looks quite effective.
Part 2 will show how to attach plants
@@JurijsJutjajevs Looking forward to it!

Cheers for the heads up!@@JurijsJutjajevs
just checked your channel, subscribed and saved a couple videos for "later watch" as I would love to keep vampire crabs too! 😃
If there's still time to add that to the next video, I feel like we lack your perspective on why there shouldn't be any nutrients in the ball. Anyway, very cool video and perfect timing for me 😅
I don’t think nutrients compounds are bad, they are simply not necessary if cultivated in a hydroponic environment. Anything with crushed soil will be messy, and other materials are more likely to rot and develop a nasty smell
👍
Hello, I enjoyed the video. I have a question. Why did I put gravel inside a Wabikusa ball and is the coconut fiber the right material for plants to spread their roots?
It’s explained in the video, but in short the pebbles add additional weight, in case the balls will ever be transitioned into a submersed setup (used for planting aquariums) as this will prevent the ball from floating up due to uplift from plants. Coconut fiber is great for plant roots and is sold as potting soil due to its excellent attributes.
Pumice in the original may be power sand actually, it has a lot of nutrients for plants
Wondered about that too. A ball made of pure coco fiber wouldn't have any nutrients in it?
Power Sand is 99% pumice. The newer basic or advance versions have „organic“ component which is basically peat moss, which has similar amount of nutrients as coco fiber. I doubt ADA is using the superior version of power sand that has additional additives in it.
However, there is no need for large amount of nutrients in the substrate of the wabi-kusa ball. The reason is they are cultivated in a hydroponic like system and all nutrients are provided through the water column or spraying. This way gardeners have control over the growth speed. Same with potted plants in big plant nurseries like Tropica or Dennerle Plants. Potted plants are cultivated in rock wool that has 0 nutrients in it.

What a great video Jurijs!
I just loved this video and all this beautiful and useful info…looking forward to make my own wabi-kusa ball 😊
Love from Sweden 🫶🏼 🌿🌱
Thanks for watching, make sure to watch part 2 that is linked at the end of the video
@@JurijsJutjajevs yes, I’ve already watched! Just one question…how do you adds nutrients to your wabi-kusa ball, just into the water?
I dose 1ml APT 3 (compete) in 500ml of water and pour it on top of the ball after weekly cleaning. In addition I spray them during the week 1-2 times with APT DEW (foliage spray) that also has nutrients in it. Meanwhile after few weeks all plants have rooted and I have roots tangling under the ball. They suck in nutrients from the water. And coco fiber isn’t completely empty in nutrients. It’s just not as rich as ie aquasoil
@@JurijsJutjajevs Great, thanks! 🙏
Interesting, the ones I made have done amazing. But like you said I’ve never seen one from Japan. Seems like a lot less nutrients in coco fiber. But I’ll try this way next time I’m making them. Thanks for the tutorial.
I’m not saying other ways, recipes, don’t work. But they have several disadvantages imo.
Instead of plain water you could soak the coco fiber in a fertilizer water mix. That is what I would consider doing. Do not make the mix too strong as it can cause a delay in getting the stems to root.
Letting the balls dry out and soaking them in a water nutrient mix is a good idea 👍 in my case I added water nutrient mix into the aquarium, so ball will soak up evaporated water with nutrients and I give the plants a regular spray with APT Dew
Very nice balls mate! I need to try this one day! Wonder if they would work with a carnivorous pitcher plant? 🤔
You try and tell me, tell everyone 😜
🥰
Would this be safe for Caridina shrimp?
It is, see my latest video where I have it with shrimps
When will the second part drop?

Create a Cocofiber Frikadellchen ;-)
Das wäre klickbait 😂
😂
interesting, so they didn't need nutrient/fert inside🤔
Same as hydroponic systems
