Sunken Garden Root Tabs (6+1)

Sunken Garden Root Tabs (6+1) – Long-Lasting Substrate Fertilizer for Planted Aquariums

Sunken Garden Root Tabs (6+1) provide essential nutrient support for aquarium plants that feed heavily through their roots. Many popular species—such as Amazon swords, cryptocorynes, Vallisneria, stem bases and carpeting plants—require nutrient-rich substrates to grow properly. These root tabs supply a steady release of vital nutrients, helping plants develop strong root systems and lush foliage even in plain sand or gravel setups.

The slow-release formulation ensures stable nutrient availability for 45–60 days, making it ideal for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. It improves leaf colour, prevents melting, boosts new shoots and supports long-term health without clouding water or affecting livestock. Safe for all freshwater tanks, including those with shrimp, snails and delicate fish.
