Getting started

Carefully remove any packing material, then rinse and inspect the plant. The exact species is not recorded in this listing, so check its identity and whether it should be planted or left floating before adding it to your layout.

Choosing a spot

Allow room for growth and keep swimming areas clear. The listed 20 cm size is not a guarantee of its full-grown height. Ask us where the supplied variety will fit best in your tank.

Light and plant food

Use a light designed for aquarium plants on a regular daily timer. Choose aquarium-safe plant food if needed and follow the label. Check the supplied variety's needs before choosing liquid fertiliser or root-feeding products.

Simple ongoing care

Keep up with regular partial water changes and gently remove damaged or decaying growth. Give the plant time to settle and watch for healthy new growth. Confirm that your tank's temperature and water conditions suit the plant before buying.

Will it suit my fish?

Some fish eat plants or pull them loose. Tell us which fish you keep so we can help you check suitability. If you have shrimp or other sensitive animals, ask about any treatments used on the plant before adding it. Inspect for snails and keep new plants separate for observation where practical.

Need a hand?

Tell the Richards Bay Pet Shop team your tank size, lighting and livestock. We can help you plan a planted aquarium and choose care products suited to the available variety. Never release aquarium plants into rivers, drains or natural waterways.
