FAQ
Will leaves melt after planting?
Some transition melt can happen as plants adapt to submerged aquarium conditions.
Does it need CO₂?
CO₂ can help but depends on the plant and tank setup.
Is it shrimp-safe?
Yes. Aquarium plants are generally excellent for shrimp tanks.
Should I use fertiliser?
Fertiliser or root tabs usually improve long-term growth.
Can I plant it in a new tank?
Yes, but plants establish best in stable conditions.
