In the aquarium

There are important steps that need to be taken when introducing a new plant into your aquarium and the Four Leaf Clover Aquarium Plant is no exception. First be certain it has adequate light. We cover good aquarium lighting in another section. When you get your plant home remove all dead leaves and plant matter. Clip them even if they are only a "little dead". The transfer into a new environment can shock a plant in the same way it can shock a fish. The plant will be weaker and more susceptible until it gets established. For this reason it is important that only strong, healthy leaves are on the plant when you first put it in so those leaves get the energy and your plant will thus flourish.
