• Provide stable water conditions for best results.
• Dose a quality aquatic fertilizer as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure you have appropriate lighting for healthy green growth.
• Regularly prune to encourage bushy and compact growth.
• A CO₂ system is highly recommended for optimal development.
• Perform 20–30% water changes weekly to maintain good water quality.
• Be patient, as the plant will gradually adjust to its new environment.

• Water Parameters:
  Temperature: 20–28 °C
  pH Range: 6.0–7.5
  Water Hardness: 2–12 dGH

• Nutrient Requirements:
  Low-maintenance and undemanding. Thrives under low to moderate lighting. Regular fertilization is optional but can enhance leaf health and vibrant green color. CO₂ supplementation is not required.

In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put a fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium. Two good fertilizers include Easy Life – Profito and Scape Complete. All plants have specific needs but if you follow the general instructions on our labels the plant will transition well and will eventually succeed and prosper in your aquarium.
