How to Propagate Java Moss!!! - Improved Experiment (Setup)

In this video I refine my Java Moss propagation skills and share with you my new experiment!!! I have high hopes that this new setup will produce even more Java Moss than my previous setup. This setup incorporates all of the wins from the previous setup. Java Moss is an incredible beginner aquarium plant. Definitely one of my top ten favorite aquarium plants!

I release new aquarium related content every week so make sure to subscribe!!!

Best aquatic plant propagating channel on youtube. Hands down. Period.

I was watching a video by Josh Sim, and he said the best way to propagate moss, was to mix mix clay, water and java moss together and blend it to make a slurry. Then you just use a paint brush to "paint" it on whatever you want the moss to grow on. He said you get even coverage immediately, and don't have too worry about glues, string, etc. I was considering this method on cheese cloth so that I could have moss "patches" to glue (wrap) around objects. Just throwing that idea out there...

Brother I'm watching every video you have ever posted and honesty as some one who has a high tech ish set up but new to the hobby I just want to say thank you so much. You have taught me so much about propagation its crazy. I've been propagating submerged because of what you have tested, showed, and explained. Seriously you have saved my tank and plants 1k over.

finaly a video about actually propagating moss :)

I use rabbit droppings (poo) for fertilizer the best 👌

Interested to see how this new setup works Definitely keep us updated to see how successful it is compared to the old setup. I may have to try this myself I have plenty of Java moss.

I bought a $45 set of master grow powdered fertilizer made for hydroponics. Its been way better than any other hydroponics fertilizer. Ive grown all manner of vegatible plants and some aquatic plants. Ive been using from it for 3 years and barely made a dent in it. In the long term it's a great deal.

I’ve learnt so much from this one video! Thanks for showing us your experiments

[Juszzy]

Great video! Sorry to revisit it after so long, but i was thinking that you could use the entry level fertilizer and mix in some gelatin. Gelatin is great for seedling and leaf growth as it contains high levels of Nitrogen. It will lock in the liquid and fert eliminating evaporation. I would also imagine it will reduce and possibly eliminate algae in cups containing less matter. Just a thought.

I did this with growing submerged. same cups no air holes. nice video

[CrowntailHalfmoon]

Awesome advice Sir 👍
Thx for sharing. Can't wait to see progress. Best of luck..

You could also increase nitrogen in your old ferts by adding ammonia. You’d need to be careful with calculating and measuring the exact amounts. Probably easier and safer for most peeps to just buy the higher N version.

Woohoo nice chef style knife chopping skills! Wishing you the best of success. PS I checked out the website and fortunately for you there was only one anubias left, which is unfortunate for me I wanted 3. Good Luck!

u need to drill OUTwards to get an actual low point .... drilling INto the tub, the excess round the hole will form a little 'wall' ... you'll need to sand it down... great channel

[kryspinkiedrowski]

I've never seen a hydroponic moss propagation before lmao :D Niiice

[manojrasanjana]

Yeah I have experienced the same, I have setuped my very first planted tank, not a very cool one butvthe point is I have applied few plants in 150l tank with high light and I guess with high levels of nutritions..the plants showed very speed growth but whie ago got an algae issue, so I have cut out the nutritions and the CO2 supplies for testings.the algaes are died after few weeks and now Ihave applied more plants and ofcourse CO2 and fertz..now the alage problem is well balanced...

You can also use Agar Agar for a jellish nutrient rich media like professional tissue culture

I am growing like 4x that amount a month in a 4000ml erlenmeyer flask with a handful of pond/bladder snails (like, 4) in there set next to a sunny window. No fertilizer but once a month I'll drop one or two fish food pellets in there

[bettascarlosgildemontes]

That is a really good video, in English my second lenguage, with subtitles in Spanish

[moritzlaszlo]

Nice video!

You can chop moss really fine by mixing it with water and putting it in a blender.

Maby you can mix it in the fertilizer solution directly?
