JBL TV #8: Do the plants in your aquarium grow exactly as you want them to?

What leads to ideal plant growth? All the factors for good plant growth: light, LED, tubes, fertilisation, fertilisation quantity, fertilisation monitoring, influence of water conditioners, chelated iron. Watch an experiment to check the iron in fertilisers. Is the iron in fertilisers suitable for your aquarium? How to insert plants properly. How does the fertilisation of aquascaping aquariums differ from that of normal aquariums? When is an NPK fertiliser useful? Biologist Heiko Blessin explains clearly and comprehensibly what you need for perfect plant growth in the aquarium. The issue of plant care in aquariums has never been explained in a simpler and more understandable way!
