Propagation Steps

Direction

📦 Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the plant from its packaging to avoid damaging the roots or leaves.

🧼 Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the plant with dechlorinated or aquarium water to remove any debris or contaminants.

🌡️ Temperature Match: Float the plant in a bag or container in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperatures.

🧪 Water Test: Check your aquarium’s pH, temperature, and hardness to ensure compatibility with the Echinodorus plant's requirements.

💦 Quarantine Option: If possible, place the plant in a separate tank for a few days to monitor for pests, snails, or algae.

🪴 Proper Planting: Bury the roots in a nutrient-rich substrate, ensuring the crown remains above the substrate to prevent rot.

💡 Gradual Light Exposure: Start with moderate lighting and gradually increase to prevent shock or algae growth.

🌊 Monitor Water Flow: Ensure a gentle to moderate water flow, as excessive currents may stress the plant.

🧼 Inspect Regularly: Check for melting leaves, pests, or algae during the first few weeks and trim affected areas if needed.

🟢 First Week Care: Avoid heavy fertilization or CO2 injection immediately—let the plant adjust naturally before introducing supplements.
