    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.

      Amazing Product and amazing price.
      Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      Remedy has done it again. This is an amazing face wash. I have all the remedy products now. I would highly advise if you are wanting to try Remedy but worry about cost. This product is a great start. It’s a very large bottle and feels so silky and smooth yet cleans and leaves your face ready for whatever you have planned!

      Very hydrating
      Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      I never liked foam cleaners, so I was afraid to try this one because it is a "cream-to-foam" cleanser. But it is not that foamy. I don't find it to foam at all actually. It lathers like a regular cleanser. I love it. I am slowly transitioning to all Remedy products. Trying one new thing every couple months until I have a complete Remedy routine that fits just for me!

      Moisturizing !
      Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      This lathers great and I feel it gets all the makeup off without having to double wash again . Not really a scent but that’s fine . My skin is combination but this has kept me feeling moisturized in all areas of my face. Really have enjoyed this after wanting to try for so long .

      Reminds Me Of...
      Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
      This is a good cleanser, except that it smells oddly much like the medicinal smell of pHisoDerm from your childhood. I personally prefer facial cleansers that aren't so medicinal smelling... Otherwise, effective, easy to use, and has a creamy texture.

      Great everyday face wash

      Best cleanser I’ve ever used, takes my make up off on normal/dry/oily skin and no stripping or eye stinging. Live this larger pump size now and stocked up!
