How to Propagate Java Moss!!! | Tissue Culture Java Moss Experiment!!!

In this video I experiment with Java Moss tissue culture propagation. You will see me setup 35 cups of Java Moss tissue cultures! I’ve never grown plants from tissue culture before but I have high hopes for this project. Java Moss is a great beginner plant that is super easy to grow.

I started with a golf ball sized amount and now have a 5 gallon tote full. All I did was added in tap water under high light sitting at 80°F. Didn't take long at all for it to explode in growth.

Thank you for sharing.
I myself am looking forward to see results. Best of luck.

Whoa im interested to see how these turn out! I was going to start propagating some java moss tomorrow but was just going to do it old fashioned haha

[AquariumsToGo]

Looking forward to see how this works out.

Looking forward to an update! I’ve been growing moss out in tubs, it would be great to cut out a step.

Are you located in, or can you ship to WA? I'm desperate for some snail free Java moss and so far the best bet I have is doing what you are in these videos 😂 but I am far less educated and practiced on the entire process.

Hi, I'm a bit late here but what you're doing is called 'photoautotrophic tissue culture', which means it lacks sugar and is instead photosynthesis-dependent. For this to work you need CO2, the moss will not grow at all if the caps on the cups are closed and even with the caps open some way to boost CO2 is recommended.

Did you consider using a lower than suggested nutrient density? I feel like moss doesn't need much in the way of nutrients.

Good luck with this project! I didn't notice that you have any populated fish tanks anymore. Was I right?

[apdelgado]

do you have to adjust the hydroponic liquid mix?

I got a java moss tissue culture. Can I put it with the white stuff it came with in the tank?

Hello, I am following you from the Middle East. I wanted to ask you about the experience of moss. Is the fertilizer you put on a fertilizer for terrestrial plants? Because we only have NPK 20 20 20 available, I am afraid of using it and I do not know how to reduce it to the appropriate amount. After the plants grew up, did I encounter a problem in dropping them into aquariums with fish?

Label both the cups and lids w/ date and concentration!

[ctophercs]

How did thay turn out it's been 3 weeks.

Добрый. Интересный эксперимент. Можете написать состав удобрений с этикетки? У нас таких нет, буду подбирать подобные по составу

[mustafaalrayes]

hello sir
tell us after one month how they doing

thanks

Interesting. When you do experiments like this you need to add a control batch. You had 5x7 so the 3 you did plus 1x7 with RO water and maybe 1x7 with tap water would give a better chance of more definitive results.

I think over time you can achieve no snail cultures, in that if cut and transplant the newest and upper most growth into cultures and grow them out a few times, you should in theory have eliminated most of the snails.

Very condescending and self absorbed! Big deal, you did an experiment but WHAT WAS THE RESULT?
