Planting Guide

For best results, separate the rock wool from your potted plant and gently clean the roots. Plant each stem individually about 2-3 inches deep in your substrate, spacing them slightly apart to allow root development. If stems float up, try planting at an angle or using plant weights until roots establish.

Care Tips

Maintain medium lighting to prevent bottom leaves from dropping. If leaves turn yellow, check nitrate levels and supplement with iron-rich fertilizer. New plants may melt initially as they adapt to underwater life – this is normal. Floating stems until roots develop can help with transition.
