Quick Answers

Do I remove the pot before planting?
Yes. In most cases, remove the plastic pot and packing material, then plant the roots into the substrate. Check the product page for any special instructions.
Are potted plants good for beginners?
Yes. Potted plants are easy to handle and often have established roots, making them a good choice for many freshwater aquariums.
Do potted plants need root tabs?
Root-feeding plants may benefit from root tabs, especially in inert substrate. Rhizome plants should be attached to hardscape instead of buried.
Can potted plants be used in shrimp tanks?
Yes. Potted plants provide cover and grazing areas for shrimp once properly prepared and planted.
Are potted plants covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Yes. Photograph any issue in the original packaging on the day of delivery before trimming or planting.
