Properties:


PLANT NUTRITION liquid contains the most important nutrients for healthy and sustained aquarium plant growth. PLANT NUTRITION liquid does not however contain nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P).

PLANT NUTRITION liquid therefore supplies the nutrients plants easily run out of and which plants ideally absorb via the leaves. These are the nutrients which are supplied via fish excrement and food remnants. We therefore recommend PLANT NUTRITION liquid for aquariums with few plants and a relatively large number of fish.

PLANT NUTRITION liquid was previously marketed under the 'Tropica Mastergrow' brand.

Usage:


PLANT NUTRITION liquid is added each week when changing the water. A flask is used to ensure an accurate dosage. The fertilizer is forced up into the fertilizer chamber by a single press on the flask. We recommend 5 mL per 50 L water per week, but recommend that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. For example, light leaves often indicate lack of nutrition, but can also be due to poor growth. Echinodorus bleheri is a typical example of lack of micro-nutrients. Regular dosing with PLANT NUTRITION liquid can restore green and luxuriant leaves. Note, however, that PLANT NUTRITION liquid is a fertilizer and not a medicine for dying plants.

It is recommended that minimum 25 % of the aquarium water is changed every second week. If undesirable algae growth does occur, then we recommend increasing water change frequency (up to 50%) and planting additional rapid growth waterplants such as Hygrophila, Vallisneira and Egeria.

Was recommended this in a pet shop, since buying this I have bought no other plant food, all of my plants have flourished, a lot have grown new leaves and some have rooted. At times I have had to search high and low to find it and have always stuck with it. Would recommend it to everybody.

A good choice if you have fish in you tank to supply nitrate and phosphate.

Simply the best liquid fertiliser I have ever used, and I have tried a few now! Oliver Knott and Tom Barr use this and now I know why. Ideal for the beginner and experienced grower alike. Adjust dosing according to circumstances.
