These highly nutrient-rich clay sticks are designed to provide long-lasting, targeted fertilization straight to the root systems of your aquarium plants. They are a fantastic addition for planted tank enthusiasts across the Ireland \u0026amp; UK looking to achieve lush, vibrant, and healthy underwater growth without the risk of clouding their water. Formulated with an optimal balance of essential nutrients, including iron, potassium, and magnesium, these sticks ensure that heavily rooted plants like Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, and Vallisneria get exactly what they need to thrive. They are extremely easy to use—simply push them directly into the substrate near the base of the plant. The clay slowly releases its nutrients over time, preventing sudden spikes in water parameters and starving out nuisance algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 nutrient-rich clay sticks for targeted root fertilization\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEssential for heavily rooted aquarium plants like Cryptocoryne and Echinodorus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlowly releases iron, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill not cloud the aquarium water or trigger unwanted algae growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely easy to use; simply push into the gravel or soil near the plant roots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides long-lasting nourishment for lush, vibrant aquatic plant growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFAQs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow many root sticks do I need to use?\u003c\/b\u003e As a general guide, 1 root stick is typically sufficient for approximately 15 square centimetres of aquarium substrate.
