    🌿 How to Acclimate New Alternanthera Plant

    📦 Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the plant from its packaging to prevent damage to the delicate stems and leaves.

    🧼 Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with dechlorinated or aquarium water to remove debris, pesticides, or potential contaminants.

    🌡️ Temperature Match: Float the plant in a bag or container in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes to allow gradual temperature adjustment.

    🧪 Water Test: Ensure your aquarium’s pH, temperature, and hardness align with Alternanthera’s ideal conditions (pH 6.0-7.5, temp 22-28°C).

    💦 Quarantine Option: If possible, place the plant in a separate tank for a few days to monitor for pests, snails, or algae.

    🪴 Proper Planting: Trim any damaged leaves and plant the stems in a nutrient-rich substrate, spacing them slightly for better growth.

    💡 Gradual Light Exposure: Introduce the plant to lighting slowly, starting with moderate intensity to prevent melting or stress.

    🌊 Monitor Water Flow: Ensure a gentle to moderate water flow to prevent uprooting or damage to the delicate leaves.

    🧼 Inspect Regularly: Watch for melting leaves or nutrient deficiencies and trim affected areas to encourage new growth.

    🟢 First Week Care: Avoid excessive fertilization and CO2 injection initially—allow the plant to adjust before boosting nutrients.
