Planting Foreground with Pinsettes

February 17, 2017

Preparing the Plants

Plants that come in pots come off easily with a pair of pincettes as shown.

Hairgrass like plants should be trimmed before planting so that the new growth will cover the older soon to be decyaing leaves.

 

How much to Plant?

Planting Glosso/Hairgrass in single pairs will result in more even growing but will be exhausting for a large tank. A medium size pinch is recommended instead.

Plants like HC Cuba and Utricularia graminifolia are tiny and should be planted in mini clumps.
