Before You Buy
- Is the tank cycled and stable?
- Is the aquarium large enough for adult size or final placement?
- Are tankmates compatible?
- Do you have appropriate food, cover, or supplies ready?
- Can you receive and acclimate the order promptly?
- Placement: Place the plant according to its species and growth habit; rooted, stem, rhizome, and floating plants are handled differently.
- Lighting: Match light level to the species and keep a stable daily routine.
- CO2: Some plants do well without it, while others improve with more plant support.
- Growth rate: Growth speed depends on light, nutrients, trimming, and overall tank stability.
- Difficulty: Beginner-friendly plants prefer consistency, while more demanding plants need tighter routines.
- Planting notes: Rooted plants, stem plants, rhizome plants, and floating plants should be handled differently.
- Trimming notes: Regular trimming helps many stems and fast growers stay fuller and healthier.
- Melt / adaptation note: Some leaves can bend, melt, or shed after shipping while the plant adjusts.
- Compatibility: Plant-safe fish, shrimp, and snails are the best fit for display and planted setups.
