Planting Guide

Gently remove the plant from its nursery pot and carefully separate the rock wool from the roots. Plant deeply into nutrient-rich substrate, ensuring the crown remains slightly above the gravel. Use planting tweezers for precision, and consider adding root tabs to support healthy growth.

Care Tips

Don’t be alarmed if leaves melt initially – this normal adaptation process typically resolves as new growth emerges. Maintain consistent water parameters and supplement with root fertilizers every few months. Trim any melting leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth.
