Tetra - Maintenance - Plant Care

Aquarium plants are the backbone of a healthy, algae-free aquarium as well as healthy aquatic flora. So let's get started: the soil is in the tank, the hardscape is artfully placed, a decent LED light is in place, the plants have been bought and planted, the filter is humming... now everything should grow beautifully! Watering surely won't be a problem, right? No, hardly! But first, the plants need a little time to adjust to their new conditions. After a while, however, the beautiful new plants don't look so healthy anymore: they lose their color and drop leaves. Clearly, they're missing nutrients! Without nutrients and the right trace elements, hardly any aquatic plant can grow to its full splendor. This is exactly where Tetra's plant care products come in. PlantaMin, an iron-rich intensive fertilizer, supplies aquarium plants with essential nutrients such as iron, potassium and manganese via the water column. PlantaPro replenishes depleted trace elements and vitamins, and the CO₂ Optimat set conveniently provides a supply of carbon dioxide. In the Plant Care section, you can buy everything for healthy plant growth. This has the added benefit that healthy, fast-growing aquarium plants push back algae. You can also buy spare parts and refill cartridges for the CO₂ Optimat in our aquarium shop.
