Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks

Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are highly nutritious, slow-release clay fertilizer sticks designed to feed aquarium plants directly through their root systems. They feature a high iron content and all essential micro and macro elements to promote stable, lush leaf development and robust root health.

Key Features

• Gradual Nutrient Release: Due to a special pre-treatment, these 55mm clay sticks do not immediately disintegrate upon contact with water, gradually releasing nutrients over several weeks.
• Zero Water Cloudiness: The sticks dissolve cleanly within the substrate without clouding the aquarium water or causing water pollution, minimizing the risk of algae outbreaks.
• Highly Customizable: The sticks can be effortlessly broken down into smaller pieces to accommodate small plant roots or shallow substrate layers.

Target Plant Species

These root tabs are best utilized for heavy root-feeding aquarium plants that absorb most of their nutrients from the soil rather than the water column:

• Cryptocoryne
• Echinodorus (Amazon Swords)
• Lotus species

Application & Dosage

• Standard Dosage: Apply 1 root stick per 15 cm² of substrate surface area.
• Placement: Use tweezers or your fingers to push the stick deep into the sand or gravel substrate layer directly adjacent to the plant roots.
• Frequency: The nutrients release slowly, meaning sticks typically need to be replaced or replenished every few weeks to a month depending on plant growth rates.
