Rudles Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have heard that I can float Water Wisteria. I searched YouTube but was unable to find anything about floating it. Has anyone here done this? If so, any tips? Due to my work schedule I'll have to wait until Saturday morning to do anything with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I add a plant weight and let the Wisteria float just above the bottom. Put it behind some hardscape and you’ll never even know it’s not planted. I think yours looks like it’s still in it’s emersed form. It’ll need some time to convert to it’s underwater form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccurtis Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 You definitely can float water wisteria. Just let it float and it will generate roots and feed from the water column. You are also able to plant it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I use airline suction cups and put the stem end just above the gravel (too lazy to plant) it will plant itself. The main thing with wisteria....give it water and fish waste and it will grow out of control it doesn’t care what you do to it lol. If a live leaf breaks off and floats about it will grow roots seen it happen soooo many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I’ve floated it in tanks and ponds. Goes great. Shoots out roots and I’ve found the leaves are broader outside then inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccs410 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Water Wisteria is one of those plants that will basically grow anywhere in nearly any condition haha. I have some planted in my high-tech, high light 10 gallon betta tank. I ended up buying too many and ended up floating the rest of the bunch in my 14 gallon cube that's slightly blackwater with dim lighting and it's growing like a weed! Tons of roots and super happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Awesome! That's what I'm hoping for. I'm going to plant some and float some. P.S. what does NERM stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
