Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are aquarium plant root base cups made of, and are they safe for fish?
A: These aquarium plant root cups are made from a natural grass carbon and mud-sand substrate blend. The materials are free from high-concern chemicals and are designed to be safe for use in fish tanks. The natural substrate composition supports aquatic plant growth without negatively affecting your aquarium's water chemistry.
Q: How do I use these substrate cups in my fish tank?
A: Simply place your aquatic plant's roots or stem into the cup, then submerge it in your aquarium. After a brief period in water, the cup's natural substrate absorbs moisture and settles firmly on the tank floor, anchoring your plant securely without needing additional weights or ties.
Q: What size should I choose — 5 cm or 7 cm?
A: The 5 cm cup is well-suited for smaller stem plants, mosses, or seedlings, while the 7 cm cup provides more room for larger aquatic plants with more established root systems. Consider the size of your plant's root ball and the overall layout of your aquascape when selecting a size.
