The Correct Fertilisation for Healthy Plant
Growth.
By conditioning the gravel substrate with ‘Sera Floredepot’, you will
create the exact requirements for rapid and healthy plant growth. After 4 – 6
weeks, you should start regular fertilisation. The well-balanced sera
fertilisation system makes successful plant care so easy.
Some plants (e.g. Cabomba) consume nutrients mainly with their leaves, ‘Sera
Florena’ fertilises these plants. After an hour, check the iron content of the
water by means of the ‘Sera Iron-Test’. The optimum value is 1mg. per litre.
After regular monitoring, you will find out the correct balance for your
aquarium. The actual demand of course, depends on the species and the number of
the plants. Therefore the instructions and data on the product package represent
only an approximate value.
Other plants, such as Anubias and Cryptocoryne species, consume the nutrients
mainly with their roots, ‘SeraFlorenette A’ ideally cares for these plants.
‘Sera Florenette A’ releases nutrients, correctly dosed, over a prolonged
period.
The gravel.
Literally, the gravel forms the basis for successful care of fish and plants.
It offers the useful bacteria that break down pollutants plenty of space to
colonise. Furthermore it provides support for the plants.
To offer your aquarium plants ideal starting conditions, we recommend the use
of ‘SeraForedepot’, a long-term gravel substrate.
‘Sera Floredepot’ contains essential nutrients, valuable humic acids and
trace elements. It provides all the needs of the plants for strong roots and
lush green foliage during the initial growing phase (4 – 6 weeks). ‘Sera
Floredepot’ is free of phosphate and nitrate. The 2.4kg (5.3lb) bucket is
sufficient for a 60 litre (16 gal) aquarium, the 4.7 kg (10.4lb) bucket is
sufficient for a 100 litre (26 gal) aquarium. Distribute ‘Sera Floredepot’
on the base of your aquarium where you wish to plant.
