Frog Bit 10 Pieces Lab Grown

Description

• Simply place the frogbit onto the surface of the water, ensuring the roots are submerged and the top surface of the leaves remain dry.
• Avoid wetting the leaves during planting and during any maintenance activities, as excessive moisture can lead to rotting. 

• Temperature: Frogbit thrives in temperatures between 64-86°F (18-30°C), making it suitable for most tropical setups.
• pH Level: Frogbit is adaptable and can tolerate a pH range of 6.0-7.5.
• Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water is preferred (2-15 dKH)
• Nutrients: Frogbit is a heavy feeder and absorbs nutrients from the water column through its roots.
  • Supplement with a liquid fertilizer containing essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, especially if your aquarium has a low bioload.
  • However, if your tank has a high bioload (many fish, snails, etc.), external fertilization may not be strictly necessary.
• Flow: Avoid strong currents that can damage delicate roots or submerge leaves. Create a designated “roped off area” using tubing if needed to prevent excessive movement

• Frogbit thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions.
• Aim for 8-10 hours of light per day.
• Avoid lighting sources with very high intensity as they can burn the leaves. 

• Pruning: Remove excess or decaying leaves to prevent overcrowding and maintain the plant’s appearance.
• Propagation: Frogbit reproduces through vegetative propagation, meaning it can produce new plants from its runners.
  • Daughter plants can be separated and replanted when they develop. 

• Rotting leaves: Occurs if the top surface of the leaves comes into contact with water.
• Overcrowding: Frogbit has a fast growth rate and can quickly cover the water surface, blocking light to other plants.
  • Manual removal is the easiest way to control this.
• Nutrient deficiency: Yellowing or browning leaves can indicate insufficient nutrients.
• Invasive potential: Frogbit can become invasive in outdoor ponds and waterways, potentially harming native ecosystems. It’s crucial to dispose of removed plants responsibly and never release them into natural water bodies.
