The Secret To Making Plants Bushy And Compact-Aquascaping
Howto 10 years ago 224,831 views
After some time of trimming your plant will look bushier and thicker, but of course be taller. It is more beneficial, for a few reasons, to take out the main stem rather than just cut the stem in half and replant. When replanting the new growth it will allow the plant to become more compact, essentially the new growth is now the stem. After time the main stem becomes tattered and unhealthy, lack of light and exhaustion from trimming. And you do this for aesthetic reasons as well. Really you will have to do this process multiple times to achieve desired results. Doing this to the plant makes the new growth more compact so it won't get as tall overall or as fast. So if you do this process and then use the new growth to do the process again you will get an overall healthier, bushier more compact plant. The new growth has been manipulated to your parameters and is more acceptive and responsive to the trimming. If you start lower down on the stem you will divide the main stem then divide the new growth and so on... This is the basic method, but I don't find it to be as efficient so I have modified it to fit my needs. Remember most stem plants can be cut anywhere along the main stem and produce new growth, but not all prefer this method like the hygrophila for example. Just try it out and you will come to your own conclusions of what works and what doesn't and create your own method.

Also my Java fern are getting all black and tattered.
Anyone has any solution to this?
thank you. please email me. royzkie2012@gmail.com
Thanks for watching.
And please read the description of this video because it has confused some people throughout the community, on forums, Facebook etc... I only say to rip up the mother stem because after time it can become tattered and exhausted, so you may only do this once a year. And Another reason why I say it is because most of us buy emersed grown plants from the fish shop and once the submersed growth appears it can sometimes be healthier to replant the new submersed growth and get rid of the mother stem, but if the mother stem is looking healthy than you don't necessarily have to uproot it. Also, the method I mentioned when it comes to trimming Hygrophila corymbosa should be followed. They don't like their tops being cut, and other stem plants don't mind.
Thanks for watching.

I don't know the wisdom, is that something I said? LOL
Awesome thanks. I guess I just have to wait.
Oh i was saying i would love to see a time lapsed vid of this great idea maybe name it "Wet Sleeves" or something similar lol i know it would be some work but u have the followers to do it.

Rotalla I think would make a better backround plant, and the micro swords a foreground plant. The flame swords would still shadow it with the massive ever growing fan leaves. My question is what advice can you give a rookie like me? I have a crappy video of my 3 tanks. Will try to get another tomorrow of just my dirty 55.
Most people including me show those awesome videos and tanks but do not show how to make it like that.
Only that you need light, co2 and nutrients.
Well guess what,you nailed it.The technical side lets you grow plants yes, but can only take you this far. To make it look good they need proper care and a steady scissor hand.
Something most people ignore.
Give your plants some love if you want them to look their best.
Thanks!
furry than other ug i've seen
Only way I can have this is by paying someone to do it for me.
Must take time, patience.
I bought all that limestone from you in august haha. I finally put a video up. You should check it out because I found a lot of inspiration and knowledge from your tanks.
Where you snip and plant what you cut to help spread it.
Bacopa has a VERY good fragrant smell if you snip it. I had about a 1 foot square of it in the back of my 120 and finally took it all out to give the fish room to swim.
CO2 is a much easier way. :-) Love your videos and tanks. Thanks for sharing.
To the two clowns that gave this video a dislike you're on the wrong freaking channel. This is NOT the goldfish or beta fish channel. Just saying...
Dear,
Right now i'm actually very confusing about the correct way of dialing co2 in my tank. I used to think that to get the maximize co2 in a tank, simply turn the bubble all the way up until when your fish is start gasping then turn it down till the fish look fine. But then now, when i added some more surface movement to prevent the build up, i find that i can even turn my co2 up more and my co2 indicator turn yellow bright while my fish are still ok. In my understanding, the more co2 plants get, the faster and the more nutritions they need. I dose EI method so i believe they can suck it all they want lol :P. Correct me and if you can make a video explaining all of it, that'd be great.
