Nutrition Capsules are extra nutrient supplements – use tweezers to place the capsule in the gravel, close to the roots of fast-growing plants.

  • Nutrition Capsules contain both nitrogen, phosphor, iron and micro nutrients.
  • The nutrients are slowly released as the plants need them.
  • Use Nutrition Capsules for stem plants, Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, Vallisneria etc. – all plants with sturdy roots.

How to use the product

Nitrogen, phosphor, iron and manganese, as well as all vital micro nutrients are released by the capsules over a period of 1-2 months. Place the capsules close to the roots of large solitary plants and plants with sturdy roots.

The capsules do not fully decompose and the small balls inside the capsules will remain in the substrate after all nutrients have been released. The balls are made of resin, which is biologically harmless.

Ruby ★★★★★

My Amazon swords went from pale and struggling to dark green and putting out new leaves within two weeks of burying these near the roots. The tweezers trick works great, and the capsules dissolve slowly enough that I only need to redose every couple months.

Christopher P. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about burying capsules in the gravel, but the tweezers made it so easy to get them right down to the roots. Within two weeks my fast-growing plants visibly perked up, and the nitrogen and iron combo seems to be doing exactly what it should.

Thomas J. ★★★★★

My cryptocoryne roots were struggling until I pushed these capsules into the gravel with tweezers. The nitrogen and iron really made a difference — new leaves within two weeks.
