    How to plant

    Remove large, above-water leaves and roots. Pruning back to the stem promotes the transition to submerged growth, which helps the plant adapt better.

    The right soil

    Choose a nutrient-rich substrate, such as aqua soil, to optimize growth. A mix of gravel and soil tablets can also work well.

    Plant the cryptocoryne

    Poke the plant with your finger or aaquascape toolPlace the root ball in the soil and gently pull it up so it's not too deep. The root ball should be just below the soil surface.

    Care after planting

    Pay extra attention to plant nutrition, especially at the roots. Useplant foodfor optimal growth.

    Pruning

    Pruning Cryptocoryne is a simple but effective way to promote the health and growth of your plants. When you notice the plant growing too large or new rosettes forming at the base, it's time for a light pruning. Do this by gently pulling the rosettes away from the main plant or snipping them with sharp scissors or your fingernail. Be sure to do this with a steady hand so as not to damage the roots of the main plant.

    Regularly removing these rosettes ensures the plant's energy is focused on healthy leaf and root growth, keeping your Cryptocoryne looking its best. Pruning also encourages new growth and keeps the plants compact and attractive in your aquarium. All in all, pruning Cryptocoryne is very easy.
