    How to Plant Pygmy Chain Sword in Gravel

    1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
    2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris, and gently separate the plant into multiple small clumps if possible.
    3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to push the roots of the sword deeply into the substrate until they are completely buried. Pull out the plant slightly so that the crown (i.e., the base of the plant where all the leaves come out) is not covered with substrate.
    4. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the plant at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the plant to keep it anchored.
    5. Make sure to add lots of root tabs if you’re using inert substrate or if your nutrient-rich substrate is depleted.

    How to Care for Dwarf Chain Sword

    — Pygmy chain sword care is very easy, so start by using medium lighting between 20-35 PAR. 
    — Why is my new sword plant melting? Sword plants are sometimes known to experience melting when they suddenly move to a new environment. To help the plant recover faster and grow new leaves that are accustomed to your water parameters, leave the roots planted in the ground and make sure to provide nutrient-rich planted tank substrate or Easy Root Tabs. 
    — Why is my dwarf chain sword turning brown after it was growing so well? Sword plants absorb lots of nutrients from the ground, so it may be a nutrient deficiency. If the leaves are yellowing or turning pale after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
    — How to trim pygmy chain sword: If the sword plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf. If you wish to prune your dwarf chain sword carpet to look like a field of grass, use curved scissors to cut all of the leaves to an even height, much like mowing a lawn.

    How to Propagate Dwarf Chain Sword

    Once it becomes well-established, pygmy chain sword self-propagates by sending out runners all across the substrate, which can quickly provide ground cover for an entire aquarium. The new baby plants can be trimmed off and replanted or left to grow out naturally.

      wrong fit - small and doesn't match original - doesn't meet description
      Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Black
      DKNY must watch who produces their brand. Have a few pairs and they are made in Bangladesh and fit amazing. Just ordered this pair and it's not even close to how it should fit. Very small and waist band doesn't stretch at all and made in China.

      Comfortable, stylish, and great for work or casual wear
      Size: 36W x 32L, Color: Black
      These DKNY slim fit chinos are a great balance between comfort and style. The stretch material makes a big difference — they move well throughout the day and don’t feel restrictive like some other slim fit pants. The fit is modern and clean without being too tight, which makes them easy to wear for both work and more casual settings. They look polished enough for the office but still comfortable enough for everyday use. The fabric feels good quality and has held up well so far. They don’t wrinkle too easily and keep their shape after wearing them for a full day. The 5-pocket design is also a nice touch, adding a bit of versatility compared to more traditional dress pants. If I had to mention one minor thing, it would be that sizing can feel slightly snug depending on preference, so if you’re between sizes you might want to consider sizing up. Overall, really solid pair of chinos — comfortable, versatile, and good quality for the price.

      Excellent value for the quality and fit.
      Size: 34W x 29L, Color: Khaki
      Love these pants. So much that after wearing the light khaki pair a few time I bout a navy blue pair. I'm 5"5" and finding 29" inseam pants is a challenge, these fit perfectly and my flat butt isn't saggy baggy with the slim fit. They are NOT Skinny in the legs. The material is smooth as silk and I didn't need to iron them after washing. You would pay much more for anything close in a department store. The stretch is great, I can go without a belt confidant they won't fall down.
