Question: Looks like you lost most of the roots, did they really regrow their roots?

If it's really hard to remove, you can also put it in a bowl of water & using your fingers to "tickle" the rockwool off and/or gently shacking the plant under water helped. You can also hold it under the kitchen faucet, but be sure you've got a strainer over the drain.

i just bought aquarium plants for planted a carpet this plants came with gel on their roots should I clean this gel before planting inside aquarium ????? please reply asap

cant keep this stuff alive in my tanks for more than 1 week

Why no talking or at least some music or something? :(

Isint it bad for plant when u rip its roots off like that it took me like 10-20 mins to remove cuz i was careful with the roots

Going on my second attempt at grow DHG. Rescaped the tank and got a much nicer light, dry ferts, and liquid c02. Cross your fingers!!!!

just bought those hope they will grow nice and stay green

I tried to grow some but they all went from nice lively green to uproot terrible looking plants. Help!!!

Try a medical or scientific supply store.

Why my hair grass looks brownish? ;) is it the lights and temperture of the water?

pet shops have them for 25$. cheaper in the states,

Damn i saw the errors i made when tried to plant them. thanks

what kind of substrate can u use to plant dwarf hairgrass in? can it just be sand or regular small pebbles or something specific??

Some audio would be nice

they are available on the green machines website - or at some fish shops

The tag on the Tropica E parvula pot says "0.25W/Ltr". I suppose that's quite low, because the scale goes up to 1W/Ltr.

is this considered a low light plant? can it work with regular incandescent aquarium light?

Does anyone know where I can find a pair of tweezers like that?

can u buy this type of grass like a lowes or garden places? or more for stores dealing with plants in aquariums
