API Root Tabs (10 Tablets)

Introduction

API Root Tabs are a specially formulated fertilizer designed to support the healthy growth of aquatic plants in your aquarium. These easy-to-use tablets are ideal for promoting strong root development and providing essential nutrients directly to the plant roots. Ideal for planted tanks with low to moderate light, these root tabs are great for various aquatic plants, including root-feeding species such as swords, crypts, and other similar plants. By nourishing plants at the root level, API Root Tabs help prevent nutrient deficiencies and ensure lush, vibrant growth.

Usage

• For New Plantings:
  • Place 1 tablet per 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) of plant spacing at the base of each plant.
  • Bury the tablet under 1-2 inches of substrate to ensure it’s in contact with the plant roots.
• For Established Plants:
  • Insert 1 tablet near the root of each plant every 3-4 months to maintain healthy growth and replenish nutrients.
  • For larger or faster-growing plants, more tablets may be necessary.
• Frequency:
  • Replace tablets every 3-4 months for long-term, continuous plant nutrition.
  • Regularly monitor plant growth to ensure nutrients are being absorbed effectively.

Available Size

Recommendations

• For Healthy Plant Growth – Use in tanks with nutrient-hungry plants that rely on root feeding for their growth.
• Monitor Plant Health – If plants are showing signs of nutrient deficiency, such as yellowing leaves or stunted growth, consider adding more tablets or supplementing with liquid fertilizers.
• Pair with Liquid Fertilizers – For complete plant nutrition, consider using API Leaf Zone liquid fertilizer in addition to Root Tabs for more comprehensive support to both roots and leaves.
• Ensure Proper Substrate – For best results, use with a nutrient-rich substrate that allows the root tabs to release nutrients effectively to plant roots.
