new dwarf sags arrived but they are in a pot?! help? - Aquarium Advice

kristap · 09-30-2005, 11:09 PM

I just received my dwarf sags today via UPS and I don't know what to do with them. This is going to sound silly but ... there are suppsed to be 10 of them and I received a cluster of them in a little pot thing.

Does each stalk count as a plant? Do I bury the whole pot thing in my substrate? Should I split it up?

You help please!

They are probably grown in rock wool. remove the plastic pot while preserving the roots. (cut the pot away if you have to). Gently remove the plants from the rock wool by pulling it away from the roots a bit at a time. Trim away any roots that look rotten with sharp scissors. Then plant you sag in the substrate.

Thank you so much for the help. I looked & looked but finally resigned to posting a plea .

Can't wait to get them planted right away
