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 or our premium APT Zero. 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.

Not sure why. Mine turned brown after a month.
Verified owner mishie.mb (verified owner) –
Very happy with product! Easy to use for a beginner and very large portion, perfect for filling up an empty tank.
Verified owner mmohae23 (verified owner) –
The plant itself was very healthy, but I found it a bit difficult to incorporate it into a scape, since it is quite large and very bright green. It didn’t look at all like I had envisioned it when I placed it in the scape that I had bought it for and it didn’t quite fit into any of my other scapes, so I just ended up leaving it a shrimp tank.
