Plant Laterite is a rich mineral based substrate. It can be used as a base fertilizer platform with other Oliver Knott substrates such as AquaEarth, Scoria and Iron Sand. Alternatively, the unique properties of Plant Laterite allow it to be used alone as an all in one fertilizer and gravel substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. As Plant Laterite contains a clay component please follow these instructions before use: • Rinse in a bucket or sieve to remove the smallest particulars. Do not over wash. • Plant Laterite will continue to let off some red clay whenever washed—this is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Put in your aquarium and add water very slowly while trying to not stir up the Plant Laterite. A good method is to place a plastic bag over the Plant Laterite and fill the water over the bag. Remove the bag when finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Slowly fill your aquarium with water until the water level is about 3-4cm (1-2in) above the Plant Laterite. This makes planting easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5. Use a scraper or ruler to level the surface, or if desired create gradients with the Plant Laterite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6. Begin planting your aquarium. Make sure you spray your plants with water until the planting process is completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7. Once the aquarium is planted, slowly fill your tank to the desired level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8. Power up your filter system and leave for a few days and any clay in the water will sink or be removed by your filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9. Following this recommended process will result in crystal clear water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCARE AND ATTENTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• The water quality control attributes of Plant Laterite will naturally decrease over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Use Plant Laterite for freshwater aquariums, paludarium and tropical terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Not suitable for strong burrowing fish or use with aquarium vacuum cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver Knott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47513288802613,"sku":"AQUA002","price":35.46,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/0751\/0069\/files\/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZWItbmluamEtaW1hZ2VzIiwia2V5IjoicG5wdHJhZGluZ1wvaW1hZ2VzXC9wcm9kaW1nXC8xMDUyXzEuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo3MDAsImhlaWdodCI6NzAwLCJmaXQiOiJpbnNpZGUiLCJ.jpg?v=1701255036","url":"https:\/\/www.theguppygarden.shop\/products\/oliver-plant-laterite-2l","provider":"The Guppy Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
