How To Grow Emersed Aquarium Plants! (FAST & CHEAP)

This is a step by step tutorial of how to grow emersed aquarium plants. Emersed aquarium plants are plants that grow out of water in a high humidity environment. This allows plants to grow in unlimited CO2 which results in faster growth. This method is used by many hobbyists to grow out large quantities of plants in a relatively cheap way for profit, or to increase the amount of aquarium plants they have to aquascape with. This is a fun way to grow aquarium plants out of water that I recommend everyone tries.
The key to success with emersed aquatic plants is to grow them in a high humidity environment. In order to achieve this I recommended growing the emersed plants in a container with a tight fitting lid, this will allow the humidity to stay high in the tub, but not prevent CO2 from entering. You will also need to spray the tub on occasion, this will depend on the temperature of the room and how tight of a lid you have. A good rule of thumb to aim for is condensation on the walls of the tub.
Most aquarium plants can be grown emersed. This includes anubias, java fern, Christmas moss, bucephalandra, many stem plants, hydrocotyle tripartita, and many carpeting plants such as dwarf hairgrass, dwarf baby tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides), and micranthemum monte carlo. Try it out with your aquatic plants and be surprised at how easy and fun it is to grow emersed aquatic plants.
