Yes, I am located on the south end of Whidbey island. I only do pickups near here. Shipping locally typically takes one or two days and is quite easy on the plants 🌱
As a first time planter, nearly glued my fingers to a rock along with my Java Moss....thankfully its a forgiving moss, and is beginning to spread, slowly, No CO2......what a beautiful addition to any aquarium, does well with light or low light. This will be moss I use in future projects....the idea of it overtaking all of the hardscape is exciting.
I really love how you show your methods on cultivating these aquatic plants even though you sell them as well. Love how open you are and I am currently setting up a 40 gallon planted tank and I will definitely be a future customer once I'm ready for plants. Keep up the great work!
Wow, huge thanks to you and the YT algorithm! I just purchased some java moss in hopes to grow it and your video got recommended out of the blue without me ever searching the topic! Gonna try this for sure!
Yeah the best way is to just start in a corner with a spakle knife, the kind used to do drywall or patch holes in drywall, and slowly scrape it up while folding it back over itself and roll it up softly. Then once done unroll it on an appropriate sized cutting board then cut it to size and the shape you need to attach it to something or to package it up for sale. When done use any of the leftover bits to reseed the next propagation box for the next grow cycle.
It’s easy to harvest. It pulls off the trays easily and can be portioned out or used in your tank. A quick rinse in fresh water is a good idea to remove algae and any ferts or debris that may be in the moss. 🌱
You should have minimal die back with Java moss. Unlike most aquatic plants and even Mosses that experience die off or melting Java Moss doesn't fallow this rule much. I have grown it in water, out of water, and in half submerged A.K,A in waterfalls and in places where the moss starts growing in water but ends up growing to the point as to where part of it is now out of the water. I have moved some that grew out of the water and moved it into tanks filled with water and the other way around and have seen little to no die off or melting. same goes for the ones that are half and half. I've moved some to full submersion and to full land and have seen little to no die off or melting. I would be more worried about it being eaten then die off and or melting.
I am going to give you an idea for the loss of humidity on your dome lids. There is a silicone tape, made by loktite (sp?) you can find in box stores or hardware stores... I use this product for many things in my fishroom, as it is very universal and has a flexing but not breaking tendency. I would take a strip of this tape and run it along the top of the black trays, slightly stretching it as i run it along the edge, (the slight stretching gives it a bit more adhesion) all four edges and i think the dome will sit on that tray with a bit more of a seal between the dome top and tray... worth a try....cheers, nice vids...
It's really helpful to have the context of the previous video "How to Propagate Java Moss!!! - Improved Experiment (Setup)" to understand the evolution of the project and the choices made.
All plants have to convert, regardless of being grown in or out of water, this is because your environment is different than my environment (or your friends, etc.). This applies to all factors, not just emersed/submersed, factors such as temperature, lighting, fertilizers, water chemistry, co2, etc. Any differences in environment means a plant needs to convert physiologically. With all of that said, most aquarium plants, moss included, should be able to convert well provided you have a reasonable setup to grow plants 👍
I've been trying this with some trays that are used for sprouting microgreens, they are pretty much identical to this setup but at a smaller scale if space is an issue
Great video Will. I've been growing Java Moss since April of this year using some of your past videos and have had a fairly decent growth rate. However, after watching this particular video I'm going to be making some adjustments and suspect I'll have some explosive growth. Thanks again for all your videos.
Thank you, Rich! I’m glad you enjoyed this one. If I was to boil it down to the three most important parts I would say lots of drainage, high humidity, and maxigro ferts. I’m sure other ferts would work too but I can attest to maxigro. I’ve found those components to be the key with moss. Good luck with your grow and keep me updated 😃 🌱
Hey, I jus found your content recently and have been binging it. I have a few questions though. Can all moss adapt to living underwater? Can all moss be grown hydroponically like this? How would you grow terrestrial moss opposed to aquatic moss if that's a thing? Thanks in advance!
I always use full spectrum lights. Make sure they are designed for growing plants as such lights produce photosynthetically active radiation which is needed for plant growth.
Great video, thank you! Have you tried this method with any other types of moss? I'd be interested to know whether it would work with my coral moss- that stuff was freakin expensive!! :/
@@AquariumPlantLab Sarah hit on my concern. This is a great way to get fast growth on your Java Moss but once it is submerged it is going to die off and it will be like your starting over. This would be great for the area of a paludarium above the water line, but I’m just not sure about doing it for use underwater in an aquarium.
When transplanting aquarium plants there is always some melt regardless of whether it was grown above or below water simply due to changes in water parameters, lighting, temperature, etc. Melt should never be extreme and definitely not be like starting over. All of the individual strands of moss will quickly start producing new growth. The old growth will last for quite awhile and all the new growth will be well worth it. Almost all aquarium plants, moss included, are grown emersed at large farms. 👍
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it okay to put moss grown like this straight into the tank? Or does it need to acclimatise to being under water?
We recently started growing aquarium plants, and this video helps us a lot. If you give them 24hrs LED light, would they even grow faster? or no difference from 12hrs?
I haven’t used that fertilizer so I can’t really comment on how well it would work. Do not use hydroponic fertilizers directly in your aquarium, however, growing moss this way then using that moss in your aquarium shouldn’t pose a risk to your fish. If you’re concerned about it you can give the moss a quick rinse/soak in fresh water before adding to your aquarium. 👍
I go with 1/8th teaspoon per ~50 ounces water. I believe their instructions state full strength is 1-2 teaspoons per gallon. So I go with a pretty diluted mix. 👍
I recently purchased my 1st batch of java moss because it's supposedly one of the easiest plants to grow. While waiting for it to arrive I watched your video and thought I could try and propagate some myself because plants are so expensive. I also glued some pieces to some of my rocks and ornaments in my tanks. The pieces I glued to some driftwood and submerged in my tank didn't grow at all. I created my own humidity dome with some tupperware and made a little mesh tray from something I picked up in dollar tree. It's been at least two weeks or more and now a good portion of my propagated set-up is turning brown. I thought I was smart and put it outside for a few days for slightly direct sunlight, I thought it was doing fine for a couple of days, but now I'm pretty sure I am going to need to start from scratch. Do you have any suggestions, is it possible I am over saturating them with water? Or was the direct sunlight just a stupid idea?
Are you going to try propagate more variety of plants? Like multi var of buce, crypts? Or even, another var of your current plants like... - java fern windelov/trident - anubias pinto/petite/Coffeefolia/Marble - more variety of moss etc
Absolutely, my goal is to offer a large catalog of different plants species. I’ve expanded from 2 to 10 over the last year or so. I’ve got another 6 or so species already in production but it will be awhile before those become available. Long term I would like to have 20-40 different species with some on rotation. 👍 You can view my current selection here aquariumplantlab.com
@@AquariumPlantLab great! Most if not all are sold out tho hahaha If you willing to hear a 2 cents from me, you might want to add a pic of the plants (leaves) shape in emersed vs submerged condition for greenhorn scapper buyer.
If you’re talking about my catalog, I am not actually sold out, I am just leaving for vacation so I reduced my inventory to zero. When I get back from vacation I’ll be restocking the website 👍. And good suggestion, others have brought that up recently. I am in the process of gathering submersed plant example photos now 😊. I think that will be helpful for people ☺️.
Have you, or do you plan on trying this with other types of aquarium moss? I giving weeping moss a try right now, using your methods. I suspect they're pretty much interchangeable, but who knows.
sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, just starting on this, but im wanting to grow mine to put into my fish tanks and saw that it said not for use with fish. is there anyway to rinse it after to make it safe or is this just for decoration only?
Most aquarium plants are grown hydroponically in mass production. Plants grown hydroponically should not pose any risk to your fish. If you’re concerned about it a quick soak or rinse in fresh water should do the trick. 👍 Do not use hydroponic fertilizer directly in your aquarium with livestock. If you need aquarium ferts you’ll want a fert designed specifically for that purpose such as Easy Green or Thrive.
Hello. I have a question. I want to cultivate moss. And I tried the way you did. (I couldn’t get the same products as yours in my country) and My moss turned brown…what is the possibly reasons for that? Thank you for sharing your video😍 my bf and I love to see your videos!
Since you are using this fertilizer maxigro for aquatic plants for propagate. Is the plant doesn't affect the fish or would die or wash the plants first?
Likely but also not likely for awhile 😂. I am slowly diversifying my offerings. Have my eye on a number of species at the moment. Christmas moss seems to be in high demand though so that may be the next moss species 😎
I have my moss in a clear plastic tupper, close to led lights like your set up, they have holes for ventilation, but it got that grey mold, i read somewhere it is becuase of the heat, whats your take?
So honest question, won’t these plants melt back badly when put full submersed in a tank? Not the Java moss so much but your stem plants and the rest of them?
Good question. Regardless of being grown out of water or underwater plants always have to adapt to a new environment. Almost all aquarium plants are grown at commercial farms out of water. I grow most of my plants this way too, but also in high humidity which helps them to adapt to submersed growth well. Melt should never be extreme (with a a few exceptions such as crypts or Val) The key is to make sure you have an appropriate setup for growing plants, if you do then most plants, stems included, make a pretty seamless transition to submersed growth with minimal melt. In fact I typically prefer emersed plants over submersed, especially if They are coming via mail. Emersed plants are typically much more robust, have less algae and pests, and more energy stores to be able to adapt to my tank 👍
Hi, I was wondering about how many tissue cups would a harvested tray fill, and how many tissue cups did it take to plant it? I really like this idea and I'm thinking about trying it, but I needed to "pitch" the idea to The Husband, if you get my meaning! lol
Probably, hard to say if you’ll yield the same growth or not though. All ferts are different. Hydroponic ferts will be more economical and mixing ratios will be completely different.
i have a question. my plan is to buy a whole bunch of mini glass containers, and fill them with tap water (they have a lid). i was going to order the moss, cut it up into little clumps, and throw a piece into each of the containers with water. would this work? can the moss be completely submerged? should i put pebbles in the containers, and then moss on top? does the moss sink? will the moss find a way to attach itself to stuff, if i dont superglue it? if i buy a grow light, how many hours a day do i leave it on? can it grow under blacklight? can it grow in a room with the window curtains closed? would appreciate any answers, thanks.
This guy has to be Canadian. He cuts in centimeters but the tray in in inches, he waters in ounces and his solids are in tea spoons 😂 what a beautiful country we live in.
I am from WA state. Close to Canada lol. Studied biology and chemistry in college. Academics regularly use metric, but I was taught the imperial system of measurement in high school so my brain is all sorts of twisted up 😂

How does the moss take to being reimersed? Is there a lot of die off?
All plants have to convert, regardless of being grown in or out of water, this is because your environment is different than my environment (or your friends, etc.).

Thanks. Fantastic method.
Do we have the drain the water that builds uo under the tray at all?
Could a frosty fern be grown submerged or emerged? Never seen it done but it would make an interesting aquarium plant.
Probably not submerged, emersed possibly 🤔
How do you go about harvesting it? Do you just trim the top parts and leave the rest to grow back?
Just pull it off. It comes off easily. Keep some to replant a fresh batch. 🌱
Couldn't you put a strip of the stick-on door sill foam around the inside lip of the dome to help keep more humidity inside?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is it okay to put moss grown like this straight into the tank? Or does it need to acclimatise to being under water?
I'm no expert but maybe raise the water level and leave it for a few weeks to ackimate it slowly (semi submegred)
Great idea, makes complete sense. Thank you!👍

How long untill you can put the plants in the tank after applying the fertilizer
I would just recommend rinsing the moss in clean fresh water before adding to your tank.
Dechlorinated?
how do you harvest the moss? do you attach the moss to little squares of mesh? just in a plastic ziplock bag?
how long can you keep the fertilizer with water mixed? do you make them everyday?

i have a question. my plan is to buy a whole bunch of mini glass containers, and fill them with tap water (they have a lid). i was going to order the moss, cut it up into little clumps, and throw a piece into each of the containers with water. would this work? can the moss be completely submerged? should i put pebbles in the containers, and then moss on top? does the moss sink? will the moss find a way to attach itself to stuff, if i dont superglue it? if i buy a grow light, how many hours a day do i leave it on? can it grow under blacklight? can it grow in a room with the window curtains closed? would appreciate any answers, thanks.

Can I drop right in aquarium or do you need to transition to submerged growth?
Will this work with other species like flame, weeping and fissidens?
What brand is the maxi-gro fertilizer?
This guy has to be Canadian.
He cuts in centimeters but the tray in in inches, he waters in ounces and his solids are in tea spoons 😂 what a beautiful country we live in.
I am from WA state. Close to Canada lol. Studied biology and chemistry in college. Academics regularly use metric, but I was taught the imperial system of measurement in high school so my brain is all sorts of twisted up 😂

Life is so hard 🤣🤣
How does this compare to propagating it submerged?
Are only wholesalers allowed to purchase plants from your site?
I am pretty much retail only. Too small to do wholesale at this point 😊
Does this method also work for Christmas Moss?
