JBL Florapol

Florapol by JBL is a long-term soil fertiliser for freshwater aquarium plants that can be mixed into the substrate for strong roots and vigorous growth. It is effective for at least 3 years.

Mix Florapol into the substrate and cover it with a layer of washed substrate. The effect lasts for at least 3 years. For optimal plant care, it should be used along with other fertiliser products by JBL which include long-term and daily fertilisers as well as root and leaf fertilisers. The fertiliser prevents and remedies deficiency symptoms caused by iron and potassium deficiency. Optimal plant growth reduces algae growth.

Tip
Many vital trace elements cannot be added to aquariums in advance as they are very sensitive and tend to quickly form other compounds or precipitate in an aquarium environment. As a result, they will no longer be available to the plants. However, as plants can only thrive and grow when they have access to all essential nutrients, JBL has developed a special fertiliser which contains all sensitive trace elements and other important substances in an adapted form: Plant Fertiliser 24. Supplying these substances daily is the only way to ensure healthy plants. Along with basic fertilisers and JBL AquaBasis plus, all aquarium plants are supplied with the optimal mineral nutrients and trace elements. An additional supply of CO2 is recommended.

Plant genera that absorb many nutrients via roots:
Echinodorus, Cryptocoryne, Vallisneria, Crinum, Nymphea

Plant genera that absorb nutrients through both leaves and roots:
Ludwigia, Limnophila, Hygrophila, Alternanthera, Cabomba

JBL plant fertilisers supply plants with all the main nutrients and essential trace elements via the water - by promoting optimal plant growth, algae formation is reduced.
