These aquarium plant bundles are easy to process and plant. Remove the plants from the packaging and rinse under lukewarm water to remove any dust or debris. Then, plant them in the substrate, ensuring proper depth and spacing in the aquarium!
Generally, the aquarium plants from these kits require full-spectrum lighting (white, red, blue, green), which mimics natural light and encourages healthy growth. LEDs and fluorescent lights are good options. Some aquarium plant packages may include plants that can also grow in low light conditions.
It varies! Plant species, lighting, and substrate (gravel vs. sand or aquatic soil) are a few factors that influence the speed your plants will root. They usually show root growth within a week, but it could take longer.
Excessive algae growth can create an unsightly tank appearance and, even worse, harm the new plants from your aquarium plant packages! Minimize algae growth by optimizing light duration (direct sunlight promotes algae growth), ensuring proper CO2 levels, and removing uneaten food after a few minutes. Uneaten food leads to nutrient buildup, which algae thrive on. You should also regularly clean the tank glass and perform routine water changes to get the most from your aquatic plant bundles.
