How to Plant Pearl Weed in Aquarium

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Because the roots are weak, we recommend planting pearl weed in the pot, such that the pot is entirely buried in the ground. Then it can creep laterally and grow upwards once it is done converting to its underwater growth form.
4. If you choose to individually plant the stems, consider planting them in bunches with some space in between so that the stems can get plenty of light and the roots have some room to grow. If the bunch keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the bunch at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. 

How to Grow Pearl Weed

— Pearl weed care is very easy, so start by using medium lighting between 20-35 PAR to prevent "leggy" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). 
— Why is my pearl weed turning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. 
— How to trim pearl weed: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.

How to Propagate Pearl Weed

— Stem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location. The original plant will continue growing upwards from where it was cut and may even create multiple branches.
— To create a pearl weed carpet, plant small bunches of the trimmings with a 1-inch gap between each bunch. Make sure the plants are undisturbed by bottom dwellers until they grow firm roots. Keep the tops of the plants frequently pruned so that the lower leaves get enough light. With enough light and nutrients, you will have enough plant trimmings to cover the whole ground.

Great little roll-on stick, used it for stocking stuffers
Color: Dazzle
Love this roll-on sparkle glitter stick! Perfect for skin. If you need a hint of sparkle on your cheeks, even in your hair, the colors here are beautiful. This would be great for Halloween, parties, even get appropriate color for a formal celebration like a wedding. It is easy to apply, and lasts a long time.

Cute, Small, but pack the perfect Glitter Punch!
Color: Sparkling Pink
Amazing! I bought the Iridescent shade. It's a small bottle but for the price & how long the product will last, it's totally a steal! The liquid doesn't have an odir at all, rolls on smooth, not chunky. I tried it on my dark hair it was great. Also quick dry in skin with no rub off after it's COMPLETELY DRY. Rolling extra layers def makes it shinier too.

Amazing!
Color: Mermaid
I bought this for my musical Seussical and for everyday use. I was very impressed by the quality it was so easy to put on and it washed right off. This is the perfect glitter! I tested it on my arm face and hair it and my 2 only problems are that the color is not what it looks in the picture I got the mermaid color thinking it would have more pink but it does not have much pink in it when you put it on it appears more blue and green. The other thing is for those who got this for their hair be ware the glitter will fall off I didn’t get to give it a great chance on my hair but I think it’s not terrible you just need to give it more time to dry than I did or whenever you move you’re head glitter will come off. Overall I think this is an amazing product and I am definitely considering trying other colors.

Pretty and easy to use/wash off
Color: Sparkling Pink
Pretttyyy! It washes off easily when you want it to, so there’s no worries with it feeling “permanent.” It does rub off too but with excessive rubbing. It’s a pretty color that’s holographic-like. We love it for sparkly cheeks!
