Thank you very much! Learning languages could be easy for some and difficult for others (like my). There are many ways to get it done - studying at college is one of them. The other, probably the most powerful way to learn any language fast on fluent level is to get girlfriend/boyfriend native/fluently speaking in the language of your interest ;) All the best on your adventure!
I like these kind of experiments. It furthers the aquarium hobby and it's much needed. People just follow convention most of the time. Which is fine I guess but it's nice to have people like yourself out there that want to push the possibilities.

I love it! I had been buying expensive plants for my fish tank and usually it doesn’t last. Now I’m getting this idea from you, I’ll nurse some samples of plants and grass and see which one will work on my fish tank, thanks for your info! Greetings from San Francisco, Bay Area ! 😊
Check videos on this playlist for details on all plants (land and aquatic) that I've been growing in aquariums: ruclips.net/video/sSgqNh0FkCs/видео.html There is a lot to look through ;) but it could save you time in long run and most of my plants grow and regrow. All the best!
There are long list of reasons for plant to die. Even invasive plants such as...Elodea may die. It could be due to the way plants were kept through transportation from farm to the store. You may not even notice that you bought damaged plant to begin with. Next time you at the store shopping for plants make sure to ask when those plants were delivered and from where - newly arrived and from long oversea are at higher risk. But you are better get plants, fish or whatever from your friends ;) Check this out to get an idea: ruclips.net/video/CL6a13Pq60o/видео.html
I've done slow conversions with moss, and been very pleasantly surprised with the success. Thanks for showing it can be done with grass as well. Good video.

Little did everyone know, the smiley face was actually a cry for help. The aquatic land grasses were slowly taking over and Michael was trapped. The aquatic land grass spoke,”what will you do now sir”. At this point Michael was breathing a heavy and panicked nerve through the air. “What do you want from me?” Michael replied. “I need your help with something in particular...The White House”. “NO!” Replied Michael, for he knew what the aquatic land grass was saying and meant. “YES YOU WILLLLLL and you will tell me the password to the proxy servers.” The grasses plan was to take over the world by spreading his deadly rhiosomes. “Under one circumstance”, said the man. “AND WHATS THAT!”. “Let me whatch one video on RUclips before I follow said orders”. “FINE” said the Aquatic Land Grass. Michael quickly pulled out his computer and scrolled through countless comments while the grass was photosynthesising until he found a very recent comment. He looked up and quickly wrote a encrypted message to said user. The grass came over and as a result Michael quickly deleted his work and inserted a smiley face :) hoping the user would catch on. After such actions micheal lashed out on the grass with a fire started from his computer and was never heard from again. May Michael forever be remembered as the man that saved the world from The Aquatic Land Grass. Learn from this man my brothers and follow his ways. For you will never know if you run into a viscous type of grass, in this case...aquatic land grass.............................................................Live On Michael...............
I have a couple of elephant ear plants and an aloe plant in my fish tank and they’re doing pretty well. The elephant ears grow slowly and don’t support more than two leaves at a time, but are still healthy. The aloe isn’t submerged at all, it sits in a hole in the lid with the roots touching the water, as to not overwater it. 😁 my betta loves resting in the roots of the bigger elephant ear.
Great! I've never tried elephant ear plant, but had aloe vera for couple years growing with roots in water. The aloe grew too big for my nursery. Here is a playlist of my videos about that aloe: ruclips.net/video/sSgqNh0FkCs/видео.html All the best!
i accidentally discovered you can grow "creeping jenny", a common house plant under water. im also growing mint hydroponically. so im guessing there are way more flood resistant terrestrial plants than people think.
Noah EB4311 I don’t know if you are familiar with creeping jenny. It’s probably the most common plant for hanging vases here in Australia. My parents has one and it’s growing very well, too well. My mum kinda liked the way stems grow lush and long so she doesn’t like to trim it. One day I found that the tip of a stem is actually submerged in the pond below. I came back to visit my parents the next week and found the submerged stem was actually sprouting new leaves. So I cut a few stems and see if they really grow under water. Surely enough, my aquarium is covered with them now two months later.
Michael Langerman yeah it’s quite interesting. I’ve been keeping planted aquariums for some time now and thought I was familiar with most of the characteristics of aquatic/semiautomatic plants. But creeping jenny exhibits some behaviours I’ve never seen. For some aquatic plants, if you suddenly take them out of water and grow them in the air, or do the exact reverse, they will shed leaves and grow new ones to adapt to the new condition. Example: Alternantera Reineckii. The leaves die after radical condition change but new ones grow back in about a week, looking exactly like the old ones. For some others, a sudden change of condition (either from water to air or air to water) will cause them to grow new types of leaves that look nothing like the old ones. Example: Rotala Rotundifolia. When you grow them out of water, new leaves are round and green. When you grow them under water, the new leaves are pointy and reddish near the stem. Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia Nummularia) is an exception. It doesn’t give a fuck about radical condition change. It just continues to grow like nothing happened when you cut a terrestrial stem and put it in water. I think there are a lot of fun experiments you can do with this plant Michael.
admiro que en 2018 todavía haya gente que disfrute de investigar, observar y sacar conclusiones sobres temas sencillos que hacen comprender cosas interesantes. keep doing this!
Really do appreciate these videos. I was searching to see if I could use some moss and grass around the home to put into my aquarium. I have done the grass before and had fairly good results with it. Mine is a filtered aquarium so I am sure the dynamics are a bit different, but I will keep you posted. Thank you for the great information and encouragement to try this.
quite an interesting experiment - im a commercial landscaper - so seeing grass like that submerged in water is interesting to me considering some of those grass grow rapidly in less than a week on dry normal land - especially the nutsedge grass - that is mostly considered a weed considering the grass rapidly grows in two days and its hard to kill it with normal weed killer , it drains all the water from near by roots of other grass leaving yellow spots on people's lawns --- seeing that grass still alive after a month submerged in water is incredible to see
I have some other land plants growing underwater. Interestingly, among plants that I've tried so far, normally fast growing land plants grow slow underwater and slow growing land plants grow fast underwater.

I tried it only to check if it is possible. Looks like it works. Though, at this time I don't have much space for more experiments with land grass - have couple different projects of much greater interest for me ;) It's going to be fun!
The key seems to be the gradual conversion over time for the grasses. When we visit local streams we often see grasses grown at or near the banks of the streams. The streams flood periodically and submerge these grasses and then go back down exposing the grass again. With an increased interest in emerging plants in aquariums it would be interesting to see a shallow aquarium set up with grasses where the roots are under water but the leaves have a chance to emerge out of the water.
That would be interesting and challenging to set up aquarium. My aquariums rather small for such adventure and...and I am steering away from using any electrical equipment directly in my aquariums. On the other hand...I deem it is feasible to build such system. Perhaps in future I will ;) All the best!
My thought was to take advantage of your long term planning and DIY nature in building a new aquarium for this experiment. Since most of the grasses in your area are going dormant now, looking ahead to Spring would be interesting and give you time to build if interested. New aquarium could be the following dimensions: 600mm L x Your window sill depth - 20mm for set back D x 80mm H. This long narrow aquarium would pose an interesting dimension, as if you had lined many of your bottles in a row. The new found grasses could be submerged in 20-40mm of gravel/soil as grasses typically have shallow root systems. This would give good rooting and stability for the grasses to grow out of the water and emerge from the top of your aquarium. Floating plants like the duckweed found in the pond over the Summer could be used at the top of the water column to provide security to any creatures you might put into the new aquarium. Just and idea. No hurt feelings if you have other projects in mind.
What is really amazing is the number and variety of plants capable of doing so! Check videos on this playlist: ruclips.net/video/S35XKA-f4Jo/видео.html All the best!
Thank you very much! I don't change water in my aquariums since end of 2016. Check videos on this playlist for all my aquarium fish care routines: ruclips.net/video/Gbdmf66XUSQ/видео.html All the best!
My pleasure! There are many land plants that grow underwater. I like mosses and peace lily the most :) Check videos on this playlist for all that I tried so far: ruclips.net/video/oR07LdosdEQ/видео.html Happy holidays to you and your family!
Is there a follow up video of this? I can't find one. Aquatic plants will be unavailable for me during winter so I've come up with a plan to do about the same thing as you do but with houseplant fern. So far it's been 3 weeks underwater in my main tank and I think it is beginning to adapt. About 50% of the branches have died. The other branches seem fine. I think there is some growing happening but it's too early to really tell yet.
I don't have follow up with this grass. I tried growing fern - no success on that yet. There are some thoughts on growing land plants in aquariums. I mentioned them in different videos, but it needs repeating. I believe the same types of plants have different personalities - just like people do. I use the same type of mosses and cuttings from the same houseplants to grow underwater in exactly the same aquariums settings - and they grow differently. Some don't grow at all. Sure, there are many factors at play and yet. I publish only experiments with positive results most of the time - many more experiments with negative results (those are the most valuable to me from learning value point) never make it to the RUclips. Who would want to watch it? There are general trend among most plants/mosses that I tried. Normally fast growing plants would grow much slower underwater and slow growing plants grow faster. Most plants would not produce flowers. I use mostly plants growing from cuttings. Grown underwater land plants often do not survive or have really hard time adapting to grow back on the land. Growing land plants with roots in water is much more effective and beneficial for aquarium health than growing the same plans fully submerged - that is probably the most important for majority of people interesting in aquariums. And that is one of the key points for making long term sustainable aquariums. And one of my most recent - It's surprisingly easier to keep small sized sustainable aquarium gardens than the large. I am going to make a video about it for sure!
@@4me I will keep in touch concerning my fern because it seems like it's making new sprouts but I have to monitor it closely before talking too fast. Thanks again for all your answers BTW 👍👍
@@mr.octopus6972Taking too fast is the most common when it comes to plants. Plants live in different time dimension - it's hard for us to get used to it🙂
@@sahindemirer the main fern lasted about 4 months completely submerged before it lost all it's leaves. Last time I checked it was full of baby ferns that had started to gros on the mother's roots. I took it off because I found some real submersible plants. I dont really know if I can call this a success or not but it worked. Maybe I will try again.
I did this once, but instead of putting the plants and roots in the tank, I just cut off the roots and boiled them.... They lasted for a while, but not long enough. Probably about a week, lol. Please, keep us updated on this!!! 😃
The way you described it is very well known culinary technique resulting in what is known as mash potato. In my settings it last to the end of the meal time the most.
Funny thing is, even aquatic plants that are meant for aquariums, not all of them are true aquatic plants but semi-aquatic, it means they will try to eventually grow out from the water. Some land plants are able to live submerged for a longer time. Every land plants ancestor were aquatic. So these experiemnts do make sense.
:) You got it right! I deem adaptation of terrestrial plants for growing underwater could be very interesting for aquatic landscaping designs. And there is more to it in terms of new discoveries ;) I personally very interesting in finding plants suitable the best among others for self-sustaining aquariums for fish.
No man, the plants did't evolve from aquatic plants. Mosses originate the first plants but after that some plants needed to survive in aquatic enviroments and came to water life.
Maybe you would get faster growth if you added just a little nutes to the water, or perhaps even a little dirt + gravel to the bottom for the roots to grow in. I love seeing your experiments and they give me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! I deem we have similar approach for this matter :) I add pond snails initially to boos waste / nutrition and level of CO2. Then fish adds up more. And so it goes.
Here is the best part - the grass does not grow as fast underwater as it does on land :) Now I have to think about how to make that fast growing aquatic weeds to grow slow on the land ;)
Here in the Netherlands when rivers go out of their boundrys and rise about 5-7 meters (almost every year). Grass sometimes is underwater for a month and most still is green. I dont think it Will survive because its dies faster then it grows underwater i think. But grass sure is tough stuff.
I did more experiments with land mosses. That is where I learnt to wash all wild samples clean of any soil to avoid / prevent spoiling. And mosses actually looks very pretty and have higher success rate for me 🙂
@@4me I am actually now starting a nano shrimp tank with dry start method. I'm looking into the moss on rocks it's how I found your video. Very interesting to see you take land moss into water. Nice work!!
@@Allanna-ku8ij yes. I have been collecting "grass" growing from inside or on the edge of the water. It seems to grow better if you clean it and put in water bottle. Emersed at first then submerge th new growth.
I remember once I took a piece of (dead looking) grass and placed it in water, now it's growing new roots and leaves, I never noticed till now. I still have the water bottle with the grass in it.
I see some what appears to be guppies in bottles of water, I hope they have bigger spaces than what I see as ammonia can built up quickly in a small space.
Larger fish than guppy would contribute more to the ammonia build up. And the bottles could be too small for larger than guppy too. Setup a larger aquarium and let it cycle - it would be ready by the time baby fish gets large enough. Have fun and happy aquariums :)
Check videos on this playlist for all plants that I tried in my aquariums - there are some more terrestrial plants for your consideration: ruclips.net/video/Ms9D7_xyvPQ/видео.html All the best on your adventure!
Do you ever measure the ammonia/nitrites/nitrates chemically to see if they decrease overtime (due to the plants absorbing them)? I'm just wondering if some of the growth can be attributed to stored nutrients in the plants, or if they are really thriving underwater, and from what point? Do you have any expectations of the plants eventually dying?
I don't use tests to measure levels of chemicals in aquariums relying instead on visual observation of fish behavior, water clarity, growth of algae and plants. It's hard to make any prediction or hold on any expectations in this matters... From my experience of growing land plants and mosses underwater...hmm...it takes time to tell for sure if slow growing plants grow or not. Normally fast growing land plants grow slower underwater and fast growing land plants grow faster underwater based on what I tested so far. For fast growing land grass shown in the video, my expectation would be slow underwater growth. And I expect all old grown on the land leaves to die - I observed it presently.
Thank you. Fish, snails, algae and plants (when there is no light) provide enough of CO2. I steer away from man-made equipment for my aquarium fish care as much as I can: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html All the best!
your plants will die and stop growing because they run out of nutrients every time it sprouts new leaves and then you trim they lose more fuel. You need to look into some additives so the plant is not slowly dying.
Hmm...fish and other aquatic critters waste is natural fertilizer that was, is and will be sufficient for plants in the ocean. And so it is in my aquariums. PS: the grass shown in this video is still alive as of now ;)
Hiking in the high sierra, I once found marsh marigolds (typically above ground) growing and even flowering completely underwater in the Merced river in an area that had been underwater all season. The experienced botanist I told about it couldn't believe it. But I know what I saw.
You speak English really well, I’m learning Russian at college right now! I hope to be able to speak Russian like you speak English one day

For some aquatic plants, if you suddenly take them out of water and grow them in the air, or do the exact reverse, they will shed leaves and grow new ones to adapt to the new condition. Example: Alternantera Reineckii. The leaves die after radical condition change but new ones grow back in about a week, looking exactly like the old ones.

Dude this is so cool! I'm going to implement this for my homeschooling curriculum starting tomorrow. May God bless you. :)
Thank you very much!!
All the best on your new adventure!

Welcome to the series of why is this in my recommended!
Series?
I am looking forward for the next!
Thank you in advance!!
Oh no, its just a joke! And you should make a series of THESE videos, they are very interesting!
@@venthefishgotcha :))
Thanks for the joke and for the continuation :))
No problem^^
I know its weird
I don't even plan on making an aquarium but this is interesting tbh.
By the way I love your accent!
Thank you very much!!
CrazyRussianHacker but an aquarist
Love your accent
Thank you very much!
I reached a new high... watching *grass*
:))
Who new something that sounds so boring is actully so entertaining!
Thank you very much!!
Michael Langerman no problem! Keep doing more!
I also did some experiments and if you plant the grass in a pot first with mud and let it multiply and then put the pot under water it will grow.
That is very interesting!
Thank you very much!

Great video and content as always Michael! keep posting the evolution
Thank you very much!!!
How long do you change water? I like your idea. Great job
Thank you very much!
I don't change water in my aquariums since end of 2016.

thank you so much I was looking to convert some backyard grasses into aquatic ones !
My pleasure!
There are many land plants that grow underwater. I like mosses and peace lily the most :)

Very interesting. I didnt expect this to work out. Well done
Thank you very much!
Yesssss gold for my ears
Is there a follow up video of this? I can't find one.
Aquatic plants will be unavailable for me during winter so I've come up with a plan to do about the same thing as you do but with houseplant fern.
So far it's been 3 weeks underwater in my main tank and I think it is beginning to adapt. About 50% of the branches have died. The other branches seem fine. I think there is some growing happening but it's too early to really tell yet.
I don't have follow up with this grass. I tried growing fern - no success on that yet. There are some thoughts on growing land plants in aquariums. I mentioned them in different videos, but it needs repeating. I believe the same types of plants have different personalities - just like people do. I use the same type of mosses and cuttings from the same houseplants to grow underwater in exactly the same aquariums settings - and they grow differently. Some don't grow at all. Sure, there are many factors at play and yet. I publish only experiments with positive results most of the time - many more experiments with negative results (those are the most valuable to me from learning value point) never make it to the RUclips. Who would want to watch it?
There are general trend among most plants/mosses that I tried.
Normally fast growing plants would grow much slower underwater and slow growing plants grow faster. Most plants would not produce flowers. I use mostly plants growing from cuttings.
Grown underwater land plants often do not survive or have really hard time adapting to grow back on the land.
Growing land plants with roots in water is much more effective and beneficial for aquarium health than growing the same plans fully submerged - that is probably the most important for majority of people interesting in aquariums. And that is one of the key points for making long term sustainable aquariums.
And one of my most recent - It's surprisingly easier to keep small sized sustainable aquarium gardens than the large. I am going to make a video about it for sure!
@@4me
I will keep in touch concerning my fern because it seems like it's making new sprouts but I have to monitor it closely before talking too fast.
Thanks again for all your answers BTW 👍👍
@@mr.octopus6972Taking too fast is the most common when it comes to plants. Plants live in different time dimension - it's hard for us to get used to it🙂
@@mr.octopus6972How are your ferns now? Update pls
@@sahindemirer the main fern lasted about 4 months completely submerged before it lost all it's leaves. Last time I checked it was full of baby ferns that had started to gros on the mother's roots.
I took it off because I found some real submersible plants.
I dont really know if I can call this a success or not but it worked.
Maybe I will try again.
I did this once, but instead of putting the plants and roots in the tank, I just cut off the roots and boiled them....
They lasted for a while, but not long enough. Probably about a week, lol.
Please, keep us updated on this!!! 😃
The way you described it is very well known culinary technique resulting in what is known as mash potato. In my settings it last to the end of the meal time the most.
Funny thing is, even aquatic plants that are meant for aquariums, not all of them are true aquatic plants but semi-aquatic, it means they will try to eventually grow out from the water.
Some land plants are able to live submerged for a longer time. Every land plants ancestor were aquatic. So these experiemnts do make sense.
:) You got it right!
I deem adaptation of terrestrial plants for growing underwater could be very interesting for aquatic landscaping designs. And there is more to it in terms of new discoveries ;)
I personally very interesting in finding plants suitable the best among others for self-sustaining aquariums for fish.
No man, the plants did't evolve from aquatic plants. Mosses originate the first plants but after that some plants needed to survive in aquatic enviroments and came to water life.
@@rafaelmoro9114need for surviving does it all the time through history of evolution. And we have means to speed it up and guid it now ;)
@@4me You can adapt, hybridize, etc... I just made a correction. Terrestrial plants doesn't evolved from aquatic plants like that dude said.
@@rafaelmoro9114Indeed you made very valid correction for this matter. I appreciate it.
Your always teaching the newest coolest stuff! I learn so much for my aquariums!
My pleasure!!
I like the way he pronounces sprouts at 3:37
Sprooots :D
Thank you.
Often I mispronounce words and with my accent it makes real mess ... or fun :))
@@4me fun
Lol me too
Maybe you would get faster growth if you added just a little nutes to the water, or perhaps even a little dirt + gravel to the bottom for the roots to grow in. I love seeing your experiments and they give me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I deem we have similar approach for this matter :)
I add pond snails initially to boos waste / nutrition and level of CO2. Then fish adds up more. And so it goes.
You can also use palm seedlings, and they look great too
Thank you very much!
@@4me you're welcome bro!👍
@@4me there are also a couple of others, aluminium plant and alternanthera...both very pretty...
@@bryanp4827 I may try them one day ;)
@@4me 👍
Very interesting, love the accent.
Thank you very much!
Nice work! I always felt curious about how common grass would work underwater.
Keep up the good work brate :)
Thank you very much!
It doesn't.
It is enjoyable seeing your process.
🙂Thank you very much!
Don't tell me.........
If I grow grass under water, I've got to get an under water lawn mower?
Here is the best part - the grass does not grow as fast underwater as it does on land :)
Now I have to think about how to make that fast growing aquatic weeds to grow slow on the land ;)
I gotta try this!
All the best on your new adventure!
Hey i watch you. I love your saltwater ecosphere videos
The woogie worm god Is here
Life in jar why you are not making videos sinc a long time we All are missing you please make a video
Well have you?
meanwhile in rusia, land grass become aquatic plant
:)
just a little correction - my origin is not the same as the origin of grass ;)
But thank you!! you made it very funny :))
One step closer to aquatic potato
Here in the Netherlands when rivers go out of their boundrys and rise about 5-7 meters (almost every year). Grass sometimes is underwater for a month and most still is green. I dont think it Will survive because its dies faster then it grows underwater i think. But grass sure is tough stuff.
That's interesting!
Love the accent. Great video!
Thank you very much!
This was a cool experiment
Thank you very much!
I did the same with grass but I put it in a bottle with soil topped with sand and no luck. I see you use water Only! I will try that next 😁
I did more experiments with land mosses. That is where I learnt to wash all wild samples clean of any soil to avoid / prevent spoiling. And mosses actually looks very pretty and have higher success rate for me 🙂
@@4me I am actually now starting a nano shrimp tank with dry start method. I'm looking into the moss on rocks it's how I found your video. Very interesting to see you take land moss into water. Nice work!!
@@BigFadZ Thank you!
I found some grass that naturally grows in a creek so it does really good in a aqaurium it's most likely more aqautic than most land grasses
@@Allanna-ku8ij yes. I have been collecting "grass" growing from inside or on the edge of the water. It seems to grow better if you clean it and put in water bottle. Emersed at first then submerge th new growth.
I like your Accent and the content too
I appreciate you very much!
The smart way to touch a grass
Thank you
I remember once I took a piece of (dead looking) grass and placed it in water, now it's growing new roots and leaves, I never noticed till now. I still have the water bottle with the grass in it.
It's all submerged in the water, the main grass I put in is dead and grew new little pieces of grass.
Nature is full of wonders - just have to look for it :)
I see some what appears to be guppies in bottles of water, I hope they have bigger spaces than what I see as ammonia can built up quickly in a small space.
Larger fish than guppy would contribute more to the ammonia build up. And the bottles could be too small for larger than guppy too. Setup a larger aquarium and let it cycle - it would be ready by the time baby fish gets large enough.
Have fun and happy aquariums :)
Very interesting. I love watching your videos and enjoy your methodology!
Keep up the great work! 😊
Thank you very much!!
Michael Langerman you are welcome 😊
This is super interesting, thank you for sharing! I want to try this with some local plants :)))

Keep doing your thing. Its quite interesting.
Thank you very much!!
I tried to do so i ended up lawn mowing with out noticing
Thx for the heart man keep the awesome content comin! Ya earned a sub
Thank you very much!!
You're like a scientist XD. Love the video updates. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!!
Do you ever measure the ammonia/nitrites/nitrates chemically to see if they decrease overtime (due to the plants absorbing them)? I'm just wondering if some of the growth can be attributed to stored nutrients in the plants, or if they are really thriving underwater, and from what point? Do you have any expectations of the plants eventually dying?
I don't use tests to measure levels of chemicals in aquariums relying instead on visual observation of fish behavior, water clarity, growth of algae and plants.
It's hard to make any prediction or hold on any expectations in this matters...
From my experience of growing land plants and mosses underwater...hmm...it takes time to tell for sure if slow growing plants grow or not. Normally fast growing land plants grow slower underwater and fast growing land plants grow faster underwater based on what I tested so far. For fast growing land grass shown in the video, my expectation would be slow underwater growth. And I expect all old grown on the land leaves to die - I observed it presently.
What the fuck am i doing here?
I just watched the video and went to my backyard to try this out. Hope it works.
All the best on your adventure!

My pleasure!
I think if you have an aquarium with co2 injektion there will be a faster grow rate .
Also fertilizer would be a good idea
Thank you. Fish, snails, algae and plants (when there is no light) provide enough of CO2. I steer away from man-made equipment for my aquarium fish care as much as I can: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html

This is very interesting! Do the guppy’s eat it?
Guppies nibble on everything in aquariums.
Though, grass rather harsh leaves are not easy to bite on.

your plants will die and stop growing because they run out of nutrients every time it sprouts new leaves and then you trim they lose more fuel. You need to look into some additives so the plant is not slowly dying.
Hmm...fish and other aquatic critters waste is natural fertilizer that was, is and will be sufficient for plants in the ocean. And so it is in my aquariums.
PS: the grass shown in this video is still alive as of now ;)
Can you do an update video on your grass?
@@LanaMSB140 I make video update when there is some new info to share ;)

Hiking in the high sierra, I once found marsh marigolds (typically above ground) growing and even flowering completely underwater in the Merced river in an area that had been underwater all season. The experienced botanist I told about it couldn't believe it. But I know what I saw.
Nature is full of wonders :)
...watching grass grow so we don't have to
There are many more types of grass left to explore ;)
