PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully place the roots into the substrate while keeping the crown and upper portion of the bulb exposed. Avoid burying the entire crown, as this may lead to rot. Allow enough space around the plant for its leaves to spread as it matures.

TRANSITION EXPECTATIONS

Some older leaves may soften, yellow or melt after shipping while the plant adjusts to your aquarium. This is normal. Remove declining leaves near the base and allow time for fresh submerged growth to develop.

BENEFICIAL ITEMS AVAILABLE IN OUR SHOP

• Root Tabs: Provide nutrients directly through the substrate and are especially helpful in sand, gravel or nutrient-poor setups.
• Plant Weights: Help keep newly planted aquarium plants securely anchored while their roots become established.

Please note that live plants naturally vary in size, shape and leaf condition. Minor imperfections or temporary leaf loss may occur during shipping and adjustment.
