FAQ
Can the plant pegs be reused?

When the plants have taken root, you can remove the JBL PROSCAPE PLANTIS plant peg, clean it and use it again for another plant.

What should you pay attention to when inserting planting pegs?

In the case of newly introduced plants or very light soil types (e.g. JBL Manado) which promote growth, the use of planting pegs can be useful. This prevents an initial floating up of the plant. The use of JBL PROSCAPE PLANTIS is also recommended for animals which burrow a lot. The substrate needs to be at least 5 cm deep. To create this depth, take a "bundle" of stems or a rosette plant and fix it at a 45° angle with the peg in the substrate. Make sure that the upper clip of the peg presses the plant into the substrate and thus fixes it.

Why is there the JBL PROSCAPE programme in addition to the JBL PROFLORA?

Fertilization is not just fertilization Part 1

Unlike in natural waters, aquariums with fish mostly have a surplus of nutrients caused by feeding and the resulting fish excrement. Thus nitrates and phosphates in large (often too large!) quantities are available for the plants.

Ein tolles Produkt mit einer kleinen Verbesserungsidee. Wenn man filigrane Bodendecker oder ähnliches einpflanzen soll, eignen sich die Plantpins super zum Befestigen. Aber gerade für kleine Becken, die oft nicht so einen hohen Bodengrund haben, sind sie wirklich lang. Ich habe meine immer mit einer Zange gekürzt, danach hielten sie problemlos und waren auch nicht mehr zu sehen. Wenn es die Pins in verschiedenen Größen gibt, gibts 5 Sterne von mir :)
