the bulbs) Bulb you will receive are on average 1cm diameter in
size.
How to plant:
Push the bulb gently into the substrate in your aquarium, with the
bottom two thirds of the bulb in the substrate, and the top third
sticking out. The top is the more pointed end of the bulb. Your bulb
will soon establish. We endeavour to send out our bulbs with new leaf
growth, however this occasionally isnt possible. If you are unsure
which is the top of the bulb if you leave to float in your aquarium for a
few days until new shoots grow, you will then be able to succesfully
plant your bulb.
