– Liquid fertilizers help maintain vibrant green color.
🌱 Planting the Pre‑Grown Mat
– Place the mat directly on the substrate.
– You can keep it whole for instant coverage or cut it into smaller squares to encourage faster spreading.
– Gently press into the substrate so roots make contact but avoid burying the leaves.
💧 Water Parameters
– Temperature: 20–28°C
– pH: 6.0–7.5
– Soft to medium-hard water preferred
– Stable conditions help the mat root quickly
🌬️ Flow & Maintenance
