Product information

Healthy and attractive aquarium plants
Depending on their species aquatic plants absorb a significant portion of their mineral nutrient supply through their roots. The stronger the aquatic plant root, the more nutrients are absorbed this way. In addition the root hairs of aquatic plants have the particular facility to solubilize precipitated iron (Fe3+) and thus supply it to the plants.
Plant genera which absorb a lot of nutrients through the roots:
Echinodorus, Cryptocoryne, Vallisneria, Crinum, Nymphea. Plant genera which absorb their nutrients through the leaves and roots:
Ludwigia, Limnophila, Hygrophila, Alternanthera, Cabomba

FAQ
How often do you insert fertiliser tablets into the substrate?

The fertiliser tablets are inserted into the substrate at the roots of the aquatic plants. Here the nutrients slowly dissolve to be absorbed through the roots. Large, strongly rooting plants (e.g. Echinodorus) need one to two tablets a month. Stem plants need one tablet for 5 to 10 stems. These indications can vary depending on the growth.

Einfach bei den Wurzeln Reinstopfen und der Pflanze was gutes tun. Ich finde es zur Düngersystem von JBL eine tolle Ergänzung.

Lo uso en mis proyectos antiguos y nuevos. Las pastillas son prácticas y no manchan el agua a diferencia de otras marcas que si me ha dejado el agua turbia por dias.

J'adore le principe sous forme de pastilles ! Très pratique, facile à pincer, ne se désagrège pas une fois dans l'eau, on a donc le temps de bien l'installer dans le sol. Après avoir fait mes tests d'eau, le fer est bien présent en bonne proportion. Je recommande vivement.

Sehr leichte Nachdüngung im Aquarium. Ich nutze es für meine Seerosen im Aquarium und habe ein ausgeprägten Blatwuchs in Verbindung mit den Flora Ferropol feststellen dürfen.

Meinen Wurzelzehrern wie Cryptocorynen und Echinodorus tue ich mit diesen Tabletten etwas Gutes. Gerade der Echinodorus sieht man sonst schnell an, wenn ihr etwas fehlt. Monatlich nachdüngen klappt mit den Tabletten sehr einfach und ich konnte bisher nie unschöne Reste finden oder schwemme wie bei Tonkugeln in ungünstigen Fällen etwas auf. Top!

Diese Dünge Tabletten sind sehr zu empfehlen.

Diese werden einmal pro Monat an die Wurzeln der Pflanzen gemacht. So nehmen die Pflanzen dann die Nährstoffe auf.

Ich nutze sie in Kombination mit dem Flora Ferropol und habe kräftig und gesunde Pflanzen.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails).

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
