May 4th, 2017
00:05 A friend gives me a cutting of a Pothos plant.
I trimmed it further, making 2 cuttings with 2 leaves each.
Put them in cups filled with dechlorinated water.
May 11th, 2017
00:25 A root grows in the first week.
May 14th, 2017
The root grows longer.
Notice that the root grows from a bud.
The other cutting remains rootless.
00:52 I trim the stem of the rootless cutting to lower the buds underwater.
The cutting with a root goes to a new nursery.
June 5th, 2017
In the past 3 weeks, new leaves grow on both plants.
And roots grow strong on both plants.
June 13th, 2017
Pothos grows very fast.
01:26 I added newborn guppies to one nursery.
I submerged most leaves of this plant.
Here a new root and a new leaf are growing underwater.
01:41 Only 1 leaf is above the water.
August 11th, 2017
More leaves grow on the Pothos kept above water.
The plant with 1 leaf above water grows slower.
02:00 I want to check if this Pothos can grow submerged fully underwater.
Cut the plant in two parts.
Each part has roots.
The cutting with 5 leaves goes back to the same nursery.
02:24 This time, the whole plant is fully submerged underwater.
August 17th, 2017
The plant I keep above the water grows very fast.
02:40 I trim the newest leaf with a sprout.
Let's see if this cutting will grow roots.
Dip the cutting in water.
August 23rd, 2017
The leaf on the last cutting got some brownish discoloration.
03:00 And a new root started growing.
September 9th, 2017
The plant above water has healthy leaves and well developed roots.
There are many secondary roots.
03:20 One leaf of the plant that grows underwater has a hole.
Otherwise the plant looks healthy.
Though, it did not grow noticeably.
Here you can see a new root grows.

04:22 The underwater plant is unchanged.
March 22nd, 2018
I cut off another wilted leaf from the plant that grows above water.
I made a cutting with 2 leaves and a sprout of a new leaf.

That’s very interesting!!! A co-worker and friend of mine gave me a few clippings from her pothos to put in my 30 gallon, I did and they thrives. I watched a few more videos and did some research and tried fully submerging them. I have goldfish and wanted more oxygenation and filtration of the water. So far I’ve had no issues, the goldfish don’t touch them(they are too tough) now I have 7 pathos clipping in my 75Gallon and just love the Amazon look I’m getting from my tank.

Hm. I got some pothos cheap from the grocery store and was excited, but now I'm not sure... It appears I have a different pothos specie, not vining type. I put a whole plant in the tank and it's doing fine so far, and also pulled out one rooted stem from the rest and put that in, roots only and no soil. It's doing okay so far as well. I guess time will tell.

@@QuailsFarmY Initially the growth rate of my guppies, the birth frequency, and etc were about the same as with any other guppies kept in other aquariums. I breed dwarf guppies to get them suitable for small size self-sustaining aquariums. The traits I am trying to get: adult guppies up to 2 cm size (presently my 2 years olds are about 2.5 cm); reduce number of babies in each drop to 1-2 babies; reduce number/frequency of pregnancy to 1-2 in lifetime. So, my dwarfs even now, not fully dwarfs, yet cannot be compared fairly to other strains. Here is data I collected on my guppies for couple years (I do not update it anymore): docs.google.com/document/d/1lfHyYHmW2u-9aYqA8X19pGkENQpSqnF9w1bvg9Nvha0/pub And here is a playlist of related videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wzuvSdWmYXg.html All the best!

It’s probably growing slowly because it has less access to carbon (CO2) under the water. I’d be interested to see how Pothos would grow in a tank with a CO2 pump. A steady supply of CO2 from soil decomp could also do the trick.
@4me
@4me 6 лет назад
I doubt boosting CO2 will do good for the plant and aquarium in general. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see for sake of experiment for sure! PS: Plants consume CO2 and produce oxygen while they are exposed to the light (engaged in photosynthesis). However, it all goes in revers at night time: plants consume oxygen and produce CO2 at night (when they engaged in respiratory process). Than the question is what do you want to boost: CO2 or oxygen? CO2 has 200 times faster rate dissolving in water compare to oxygen...I mean that pumping atmospheric air would more likely to boost CO2 level while the plant may need oxygen. You right that supply of CO2 from decoying matter or any other living critters in aquaruim can do the trick. Though again, it only provides CO2. Best regards!
@4me

@4me
@4me 6 лет назад
You have very good reasoning about the way you set up aquariums. I've been trying to cultivate algae in all my aquariums (don't count algae scrubber in that category ;) for purpose of making self-sustaining aquariums with fish. It works well with simpler critters like snails, shrimps and etc. Making it with fish in small aquariums is difficult, and yet I deem it is possible. Will see how it goes ;)
@professorm4171
@professorm4171 6 лет назад
CO2 in water is the same as in air. The problem is plants have a harder time absorbing CO2 molecules in water through the stoma (the hole in the leaf for gas exchange)... So, for a plant to survive under water, CO2 levels have to to 2x to10x more than in the air.... Some aquatic plants can even absorb CaCO3 to get the carbon instead of depending on CO2.

I wonder how do you grow plants without adding any fertiliser. In all of my aquarium gardens, I need to add fertiliser or plants start to have nutrients defficiency. Your Pothos seems the same in one moment. What is fantastic to observe about plants is how they are able to move nutrients. They usually ,,sacrifice,, older leaf. That leaf becomes less and less green until it is completely yellow. This happens by nitrogen defficiency. What I do is I never cut the leaf. Insted I wait until the plant move all of nutrients to new leaves and then I bend or slightly break yellow leaf and gradually I soak it to the water. Snails in the tank gradually eat this leaf and make a fertiliser for a plant until only several fibers will last. Another way is to soak whole the leaf at once, but more organic material is underwater, more decay will happen. This is how plant can reutilise the most of organic material of dead leaf. Dead leaf is connected to the plant whole the time the snails eat it. When only the fibers remain, I cut them away becouse it seems snails cant eat it.
@4me
@4me Год назад
I feed my fish - leftovers of the food and fish poop serves as fertilizer for plants. I also use old parts of aquatic plants to make fish food. And that is how the cycle goes around. And you do basically the same thing with land plants 🙂 And you right about the fiber - my snails eat only the soft parts of leaves.
@pavoliring8398
@pavoliring8398 Год назад
​@@4me The second reason could be light intensity, as I have all of aquagardens placed on window sill - direct sunlight. And lastly hight of tank. I dont have proof, but I think the bottom of tank is richer of nutrients than the top of it, as we talk about stagnat water.

It didn’t repot very well when I attempted to plant it in soil after it was in the tank. If you want to try this, the plant has silver spotted leaves on top and red tints on the bottom. The leaves are shaped similar to angel wings, hence the name. And the plants sometimes have pink flowers. Hope this helps.

My city (Deltona, FL.) uses Cloramine and not chlorine. Chloramine will not evaporate out of the water but chlorine would. I just cut the cutting 1/2 inch below the node. The roots grew out of the node. I drain the water and replace it once a month. It is doing well. It is the easiest plant to grow of all my plants. When I see the water level get low, I top it off.

Though, I removed the plant from my projects at the beginning of the March to make room for new projects. Noticeably, the plant did not grow much larger than it was at the beginning. The same happens to my growing underwater Peace lily ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ejXWXFlFEHw.html It suggests a pattern ;) So, I would keep a leaf above water to let the plant grow as large as aquarium size allows to grow it underwater and then remove the leaf that protrudes above. As for the number of leaves...well, every aquarium, every plant and every alive organism is different. So, you have to try the way it seems better for you - that is the way I do and I believe it is the best way for everyone to go about everything ;) All the best on your adventures!

I dont know much about moss balls, but if you do (which you probably do) can you make them into moss carpets?
@4me
@4me 6 лет назад
Thank you for the question! Moss ball is a type of algae. It tends to grow in...a shape of ball :) I've never tried to grow them in a carpet. So, I could not tell you for sure. However, I deem it is possible. Algae of all types, mosses and plants depends on light. They grow toward light. Therefore, you can use light to influence grows in desirable direction. This technique widely used to grow...hmm..lucky bamboo and etc. I have a couple of such balls in my aquariums - may make a video about them one day ;) All the best!

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to go this route. My tanks are heavily planted with large bio loads. I'm slowly prepping to merge to 10 gallon tanks into a 55 gallon one. The two tanks have approx 50 guppies each and likely 30+ snails in each. All I do is add water, and let the water filter circulate the water. I removed the cartridge and simply clean it ever so often.

Great question! Thank you very much! Yes, it can grow in outdoor pond/aquarium. I personally don't have a backyard to try it. Though, two of my RU-vid friends have it growing in outdoor aquariums.

@4me

My pleasure! The transferring fish into new aquariums is always stressful for the fish - any fish for the matter. And it stands true for any animals including people ;) That stress alone could kill your fish... The best way to go about it is to transfer newborn or very young fish - they have better chances to adapt. Or you can move the plant into well established nursery with fish already in it ;) Also, I have a video update on my Pothos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TP-1UFc0T-Q.html guppies have been breeding and growing in it all year around the way they do in my other nurseries without Pothos.

Thank you for the questions! My aquarium fish care routines has been changing since publication of this video - I constantly improving. I do not change water in all my aquariums since the end of 2016. So, there are no changes for this matter. But I reduce on feeding. In the past year I've been feeding my guppies every other day (4 times a week). Keep in mind that they eat everything that growth in the aquarium (plants and critters). The feeding I provide is supplemental. And I feed them with homemade fish food - mostly made again of what growth in their aquariums. Here is a playlist of videos explaining in details all my aquarium fish care routines (past and present, with a new update coming this Autumn): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gbdmf66XUSQ.html Also, here is a video update on Pothos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TP-1UFc0T-Q.html All the best!

Great experiment but if the underwater plant is not growing then it will be a very poor filter for nitrates. I keep all my pothos above water where it grows like a weed but it is great to know than I can partially submerge it for asthetics.
@4me
@4me 6 лет назад
Growing pothos above water helps to keep water cleaner in aquariums the way all plants in aquaponic system do. Though, experimenting with growing terrestrial plants underwater could be even more rewarding in many ways. New ideas for aquatic landscape designs is surely one of them. Though, I get excited to see some land plants and mosses growing on different pace underwater - it opens new possibilities as source of food and oxygen supply for self-sustaining aquariums (I am working my way in this direction). And there are challenges to overcome in making plants to grow in a new environment - I love that part the most ;) All the best!

Even though the submerged plant grows very slowly, does it consume the same amount of Nitrates as the semi aquatic plants? I'm having issues with raised Nitrates in my 5 gallon. I have a few plants, but they are just not consuming enough Nitrates. I want to put a Betta in my tank but my Nitrates are consistently on average it around 40-60 ppm. I have cats and a dog, so I can't gro Pothos out of water as its toxic to them. I use liquid fertilizer at .5 ml a week.
@4me
@4me 3 года назад
Amanda D fast growing plants consume more and therefore are more effective. Adding fertilizers boosts nitrates level - I would either reduce amount or stop adding fertilizers at all.
@4me
@4me 3 года назад
Also, instead of pothos you may use many other land plants for this purpose. My favorite Peace lily (with roots only in water) is great for this purpose. Ornamental sweet potato also good.

@4me
@4me 5 лет назад
Roots don't add oxygen in water. Air pumps serve well for moving air through the water increasing oxygen level into the water very insignificantly. Plants and algae are the main source of oxygen on our planet. Getting live plants grow in your aquariums is the best way to go for this matter ;) All the best!

@4me
@4me 3 года назад
Your betta fish may want to protect territory...usually betta fish fight any other fish in close space. So, I would set up a separate aquarium for betta fish. Most of the oxygen gets in water through water to air surface exchange. Check how fast your fish breath. Too fast/shallow breathing means they need more oxygen. Air pump may help in this case. Otherwise, fish should be fine.

This is really interesting stuff! Weird, highly specific question for you: I have the end of my pothos under the lid but above the water; roots are in the water in other areas, but nothing grows at this very end point of the vine, regardless of submerged or emersed (all leaves are outside the lid). The "bark" on this end-piece keeps dying back too, and snails are sometimes interested. It's almost like it wants to go back to being a regular piece of vine, but can't recover due to humidity? Any tips? I'm thinking it would be OK to like nuke it with superglue or cover the end-piece in neutral plastic and keep it out of the water? It's a huge plant, shouldn't be a big deal to do that?
@4me
@4me 3 года назад
Thank you! Snails feed on wilting parts of plants. That is why they interested in this part. Humidity certainly contributes to bacteria development on the dying end of the vine. Though, it is not the humidity - it is the bacteria that killing the vine. The wilting parts under this conditions have very little chance to recover. Bacteria grow faster than plant can do. I usually remove all wilting parts (nuke them) from all plants to reduce the stress on the plant and to allow the plant to give more energy to the healthy growing parts. The pothos plant can regrow from even a small healthy cutting with just a couple leaves. Getting a couple cuttings from a huge plant you have should not be too much stress on your plant. So, I would remove the wilting part and get new cuttings to experiment with while allowing the old plant grow as it was. All the best on your adventure!
