Preparations and fertilizers for aquarium plants – for optimal growth

Aquarium plant preparations – healthy growth and colorful aesthetics

Maintaining a well-balanced planted aquarium requires not only light and CO2, but also the right nutrients. In the aquarium plant preparations category of the Discus Store, you will find everything you need to provide an optimal environment for the growth and development of aquatic plants – from basic liquid fertilizers to specialized supplements and root tablets.

What are aquarium plant fertilizers?

Aquarium environments often lack important micro- and macroelements that plants would receive in natural conditions. Without them, they lose color, stop growing and give way to algae. Preparations designed specifically for aquarium plants supplement these deficiencies and provide:

• Saturated leaf coloring
  
• Fast and uniform growth
  
• Lower risk of algae growth
  
• Improved vitality of the entire system
  
  

What types of preparations will you find with us?

Liquid fertilizers with macroelements (NPK): Suitable for aquariums with fast-growing plants. Regular addition ensures the necessary levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

• Trace elements: Iron, magnesium, zinc and others that support plant metabolism.
  
• CO2 supplements: Products such as EasyCarbo are an alternative for aquariums without an injection CO2 system.
  
• Root tablets and capsules: For feeding plants with a well-developed root system such as echinodorus and cryptocorynes.
  

Who are our products suitable for?

• Beginner aquarists: Universal fertilizers such as APT 1 or Tropica Premium Nutrition are easy to dose and risk-free.
  
• Advanced users: Can combine different fertilizers according to the individual needs of the plants and the nutrient levels in the aquarium.
• Without CO2: Choose balanced formulas with lower levels of macroelements that do not lead to rapid algae growth.
