What's special about the wabi kusa?

Was at Seaview this afternoon and stumbled upon these new items at their plant section...
Any adventurous souls willing to buy a pack and take apart the wabi-kusa ball to see how they are made?

These ADA videos will help explain abit more about them...Originally Posted by nicholasliao
What kind of plants were packaged this way? I've always been interested to set up scape using the wabi kusa method, seems like its the preferred method by Takashi Amano.
There were only 2 types of plants in the packs that i saw today, they look like Hydrocotyle Tripartita and Micranthemum "Monte Carlo" (if i remember and ID them correctly).
Yeah, i see all the trays and stacks of ADA wabi-kusa plants amano uses for his aquascape setups its like there is an unlimited free supply of them... well, i guess for him they are sort of free.

From the video it look so easy to plant it.
Yeah, they are designed to make planting super fast and easy, just place them on the substrate and they'll grow.
Check out how much wabi-kusa plants amano uses in his 6ft tank aquascape:
When i see the trays upon trays of wabi-kusa being used ... i just think about all the $$$ and $$$.
Agreed. It going to cost a bomb and also need manpower to complete such a big aquascape.Yeah, they are designed to make planting super fast and easy, just place them on the substrate and they'll grow.

Really difficult for one person to do it in such a short time.
Amano have his own big wabikusa farm. You can also do it your self if you have the space
Is it time to trash the planting tweezer?

Hmm..I notice in the vid amano did not push the wabi kusa down..won't it be better to have them level with substrate? Or if planting wabi supposed to be just 'put' can liao..
This is an easy (but pricier) way to get an instant carpet! Lol..a sure work method to prevent melting etc prolly will be cutting up slices of the wabi and then just planting as is? I don't know. .

just put can, the root is already establish on the wabikusa media.
meaning we should then be able to slice it up and plant into substrate together with the wabi kusa media right?

I'll be keen to really pick up a few if priced are not ridiculous. Wabikusa meant the plants can be stored more easily emersed right?

Thank you for posting the videos! They make a good point about the pesticide-free wabi-kusa, wonder whether they local ones will guarantee that..
Saw at seaview 19.50 a pair..

A pair of wabikusa?

I think so..looks like it..If im not wrong..It doesn't look abundant..only 1 species plant on it..and looks quite pitiful..prolly only 30% of the media is covered..

Is Seaview the only shop that is selling this? Thus far, I have not seem to see it at any of the other local fish shops.
