DIRECTIONS - There is no need to wash the Aquarium Plant Soil before use. Pour it into the Aquarium to your desired thickness then level with a plastic ruler. Fill the Aquarium with water so it covers 5cm above the Soil then insert your plant selection. Fill the Aquarium slowly so as not to disrupt the plant design.

HELPFUL TIP - When landscaping a Planted Aquarium, we recommend inserting the taller Plants closer to the back and shorter Plants in the foreground which gives the Aquarium a perspective of being wider than it actually is.

The Importance of Good Plant Soil

Good plant soil is one of the most important foundations of a healthy, attractive aquarium, and it directly affects how well your plants and fish thrive. When you choose the right soil, you’re giving your aquatic plants the nutrients they need to establish strong roots, grow steadily, and maintain rich, natural colour. This means you can enjoy a fuller, more vibrant aquascape instead of struggling with weak or melting plants.

With quality aquarium plant soil, you create a stable environment that supports beneficial bacteria. These bacteria help break down waste, improve water quality, and reduce the risk of algae problems. As a result, you spend less time fixing issues and more time enjoying your tank. Good soil also anchors plants securely, so they stay in place and don’t float up or shift every time you clean or rearrange your aquarium.

When your plants are healthy, your fish benefit too. You provide them with better shelter, reduced stress, and a more natural habitat that encourages normal behaviour. Strong plant growth also helps absorb excess nutrients from the water, keeping your aquarium balanced.

By investing in the right plant soil from the start, you set yourself up for long-term success. You make maintenance easier, improve overall tank health, and create a beautiful, natural-looking aquarium you can be proud of every day.
