Might I add a suggestion for keeping your aquatic plants happier for much longer? If you will plant it in your pot with organic potting soil and cap it with an inch of small gravel before submerging it in your vase, the plants will uptake nutrients 4 to 400 times better. A root tab in the soil will mean you don't have to use Flourish at all.
Sword plants are incredible voracious root-feeders and will utilize huge amounts of soil and space and get at least 10x larger than it is now.
This is so cool. Ever since I was a little girl I’d always see my mom grow her plants under water as well & I always thought it was so random lol
By the way for anyone who wants to try this I recommend using a plant called Anubias which is a plant species, there are multiple types. It’s a water column feeding plant that doesn’t need soil at all. You can attach it to anything like a rock with a drop of super glue and it’s roots will eventually latch on. Plants like amazon swords are heavy root feeders so it prob won’t survive very long without somewhere to dig it’s roots into 🤷🏽♀️. Java fern is another one that works like Anubias.
Awesome idea! I'm defiantly doing this!
Love it! I seriously can't wait to try!
🚘 🏃
Loved how inconvenient the fancy sink is.
Love this!!! Will definitely try!!
i definitely need more brad canning notifs in my subscription page.
luv ur vids
keep up the good work! :)
wow Brad you’ve got me thinking
i want to do this project!
Love this and your laugh
I've seen people use Pothos so im kinda tempted to try this with mine
I grow pothos, land moss and land grass in my fish tanks. They grow great
Your videos are so funny 😂 Never stop please 😂
YOU ARE FUNNY... 🤣
I started my fascination for water plants with three marimo moss balls as a joke... now I have 3 nano aquariums, a normal aquarium and 3x 5litre bottles all planted up with a variety of aquatic plants and fish also ... keep spreading the phyto and riparian love 👍👍👍👍😊
What? Why does he only have 1.4k subscribers? He is so underrated!😱 Can't wait to try this!👍😊😋🌵
Its sofia omg you’re too kind thank you!!
I know right!!!
They look so beautiful!! Really want to try it. One question, do you need to change the water??
Isabel Mabrito hey! yeah the water will need to be changed about every 1-2 weeks or as needed. 😄
@@bradcanning do you have an update video?
Time to buy an aquarium.
Really gives me many propogation ideas.
I want to plant my baby windelov in some pots like this... 😍 I have only ONE submerged plant in a terracotta, the rest are just floating 😓
Very cool - so do you buy the water plants from an aquarium supply store?
Alexandrea Grant yeah! any pet store or aquarium 😄
Pothos is the best and easiest and most fun to put in fish tanks or a cup of water or anything it's so hard to kill unless it's drying out in air with no soil or water
Also fish tanks are the best for propagations and letting stuff grow normally in them also
What type of water plants did you use, and are they editable?
We're can u buy the plants at
I have the same question just like the avocados. When I have them in the water they turn into black muldy mess and it is discusting. What can I do? Change the warwt more often? Please help me :)
pj101 make sure the pip isn’t in the water and that it’s been peeled as the skin can rot
Ummmmmm this is so cute!!
hayley thanks! 🙌🏻✨
Nice 👍
Cian .Canning thanks!
What's the name of the song that was starting in the beginning it's awesome
oh mah gad it's the avocado man from tiktok
love you Brad 😂
Think of plant food like steak and potatoes and plant nutrients as like a multi vitamin or an amino acid supplement. Usually plant food will literally say "plant food" on it in big letters
Awesome video!! My last name is canning as well! I never see anyone with my last name! Hah
thank you! haha yeah I never hear many canning's either!
Plants don't breathe in and out using lungs, but it is an analogy nonetheless. Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out of the stomata in the plants through diffusion. When the plant is submerged in the water, bubbles of oxygen or carbon dioxide released are trapped and they stick on the leaves or petals temporarily.
flourish is not food its plant nutrients more than food it works in combo with flourish advance. If you have red or pink or purple plants you also use flourish iron and potassium. Flourish is really not plant food though it has plant food in it witch i believe is potash.
what about algae growing in the water? I think the water will turn green after a while or am I wrong?
I thought the same !
@@diana_bufalo_green well it's kinda obv that my question gets ignored cause all other ones get a like from him. He is fully aware of it or didn't think about it 😂😂 nothing to be mad about haha I'm just joking
haha definitely not a hard one to answer.. the water will need to be changed about every 2 weeks or as needed. You’ll need to keep an eye out and change it as necessary. I haven’t changed the water yet as it doesn’t need it. I had one of these for a few years and they’re very straight forward. Just keep an eye on the water 😁
@@bradcanning Also, reducing the number of photo hours will reduce algae, (whereas a water change might give algae nutrients and it will actually grow faster) you can actually provide light to most of these underwater plants using a desk lamp or LED light, instead of the sun. Therefore you can give them 6-8 hours of light every day and a regular lightbulb or LED light is sufficient. (just watch the water temperature for some light bulbs will make the water too hot. You don't really want the water to be higher than 30C/80F. This will reduce algae.
Also if you let your water stand out for 24-48 hours to remove the chlorine before your water changes, you can get one little snail inside to eat the algae as well. Watch out for the water temp because a snail will cook. Ideal temp is between 23C and 28C
Also I would like to note to anyone thinking about it (not that Brad suggested it, just because people think fish just need water). These vases are not big enough to house a fish (yes even a betta fish) the minimum amount of water any fish needs is 2.5g/10L and even then, if you want a fish to thrive you need 5g/20L minimum and different fish have different tank size requirements. But this little plant set up is great for keeping snails and shrimp and they will eat all your algae. :)
I live for you saying "you're gunna wanna"
Olivia Canning I’m dead 😂 I noticed it when I was editing. fml
High levels of dissolved oxygen promote healthy root growth. ... When there's less oxygen in the water than there is in the plant, this reduces the permeability of roots to water, therefore reducing (even reversing) the absorption of nutrients.
Nice music
What is the name of the song of your intro
Where did u buy these plants?
You should be able to buy aquatic plants at any pet store that sells fish 🐟
Also you want the terracotta wet all the way through & remember terracotta properties.
Many people use terracotta pots in their fish tanks for many years with no problems. :)
uhm... Substrat, don't they need some?
Not the music you're playing during the main part. I know this is stupid (but I do like the earlier music.
DIY nowadays: buy online+ place it somewhere
nice video but you didnt show the end result enought! just saying ;)
they will not survive without light on them.
