New to the channel, enjoying the content. Liked and subscribed 👍👍. Would love to see a video on how you package different types of plants for the store and roughly what percentage of retail you sell them to the store for?
Another tip: propagating emersed growth. I have my used aqua soil in plastic containers with clear tops. I grow mostly Monte Carlo in them by spreading little pieces of the plant, spraying them down, closing the clear lid, and putting the container under spare lights. I end up having a very dense carpet I split up into 4”x4” squares to sell, and repeat the process. I also do this with mosses by putting mesh screen over the soil and letting the moss carpet on the screen. Hope this is helpful.
Definitely a plan of mine, especially with buce and anubias. The only issue is emerged growth doesn't always transition well. So you have to communicate that with your buyers and stores you sell to. You don't want to sell them boat loads of emersed plants only for then to melt on the buys side. Then they blame you.
@@homebredaquatics melt is always a real concern, even from submerged grown plants that were in very different water conditions than mine. I haven't tried emersed growth on any slow growing epiphytes, just things that carpet. Monte Carlo, pearled, mosses, etc. id be interested to know how that would work since rooting in soil isn't usually healthy for those sort of roots. do epiphytes root feed when emersed? now im curious.
@DestroyCooperative yes and no. They absorb nutrients from around them. However, placing them on something like miracle grow or an equivalent when emerged will act as a bit more of a fertilizer than nothing at all. Or plan dirt.
@@homebredaquatics im going to look into this further. thanks for the info. the emersed stuff started as a way for me to propagate using old substrate and avoiding algae and pest snails etc. you got a new sub!
