Planting Instructions
Place the bulb in the substrate with the growing point facing upward and positioned at the substrate surface. Avoid burying the sprout. A nutrient-rich substrate or occasional root tab can support stronger growth.
Aponogeton longiplumulosus may naturally enter a dormant period and temporarily lose its leaves. This does not necessarily mean the bulb has died. Leave a firm bulb undisturbed and allow time for new growth to return.
Live plants vary naturally in size, color and leaf count. Minor bending, leaf loss or melting can occur after shipping while the plant adjusts to new aquarium conditions.
