TOP 10 EASY Aquarium Plants to Grow Above Water in Your Fish Tank! Growing Emersed Aquatic Plants.

Here are my 10 favorite Aquarium Plants that can actually grow submerged and in your aquarium, under water OR emersed, meaning that the roots are submerged and the leaves, stems and flowers are up and out of the fish tank. Often this is called a paludarium, riparium or vivarium. historically it was called a terrarium. whatever you call it, it is a beautiful and easy way to grow aquatic plants, while also controlling nitrates, nitrites and ammonia in your fish tank and under water ecosystem!

This is by far my favorite channel on YouTube. If every other channel went out except for this one, I would be absolutely fine. Favorite pocket of the internet.

Bacopa is my amphibious plant of choice. It grows flowers when it grows above water. Its super easy to propagate too. Even leaves can potentially form new plants. Can grow it floating or planted.

Dude! Thankyou so much for sharing. You have great clarity of speech and a wealth of plant knowledge, its great you can share with us. I am twice your age but I know I am the novitiate in this conversation. You also possess a kindness towards others too that is not common but in sharing it you propagate it, so much kudos to you and I trust you have a great day too.

Love this video. My collection of water boxes includes many nanos and some are only 6-8" deep. Planted a lovely submerged grown sword in one (soil based) which grew very fast putting out leaf after floppy adorable leaf for 2 years - they would come out a deep rosy color then float just under the water line, many many nice medium green large broad leaves. One day last year a leaf stem didn't bend over and the leaf quickly grew up above the water line and that was that. Every leaf under the water degraded to nothing quickly as a few new leaves grew above, and all new leaves are stiff, tall, small, thick, and few. Usually seen from the other direction going emersed to submerged, this was a very cool transition to witness. Very pretty still but completely different form. Some leaves have a few small dry spots I think indicating not enough humidity. Other than that I have basic houseplants with roots in water - syngonium, dracaena, aglaonema, spathiphyllum. Side note: my emersed peace lilies that are in water level lava or leca pots grow as big as the ones I have with roots floating free in water, but the roots floating free are crazy huge and require trimming while the potted ones barely have any roots poking out of pot holes. Wondering if it has to do with the crown of the plant being above water for potted ones and in water for non-potted, or if it has to do with the roots searching for bottom purchase and instantly finding it for the potted ones and not searching further. I braided the roots like hair (18") for 2 of the free floating ones:)

Perfect timing on this video, I have just begun exploring aquatic plants that grow out of tank for my next tank. As usual thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Awesome stuff, I love plants grown out of the water.

[michellebarnhill]

Woohoo! I love it when FISHTORY! Drops a new video!! Hello Everyone! Hope your weekend goes stupendously! 💗

[Dubravkuh]

Great video man! Very well layed out, and structured. The information given was fantastic compared to many other youtubers i've watched on aquatic plants.

[BrodysBettas]

Love this! I didn't know Cabomba would flower until I saw some buds growing last week in my outdoor 55 gallon 😅

[colescompany]

Excellent video. Lots of info and pictures and real examples

[StagnantMizu]

awwesome aquarium, must have taken time to figure out which plants have synergy and dont kill eachother due to allelopathy

[dianaheaphy]

Gives me lots of ideas for having fun with plants and water! Thank you!

[arielleespinosa]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing. I definitely am interested in learning about more plants that grow out of the water.

[beastfrmeast]

The video we all have waited for! Wuuuuhuuuu!
I want to make a betta-koi tank.

Leonardo DiCaprio keeps aquariums? 😉👍 great video, thanks man.

[meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

Neat stuff, thank you! Is that the velvet water spangles floating there? +1 for the algorithm!
😁✌️

[PotooBurd]

Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝

[helenjanet]

Love your information. I am going through trial and error with plants. All and all your information is really helping my brain more active than the health service here. Ta pal keep going please 😊

[hexagod]

Perfect timing, I was just recently trying to figure out how I would get my rotala to grow up instead of sideways

[scourgebunnies]

This is a great video and very helpful as well. Your aquariums are beautiful! I have a question about the submerged portion of plants that have breached the surface. Once they have leaves in the air, do they drop their submerged leaves so they can put all their resources into developing the emersed foliage?
