How to Plant Red Melon Sword Aquarium Plant

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.
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 Red Melon Sword Plant

— Red melon sword plant care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 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 red melon 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 larger, outer leaves are yellowing and dying after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
— How to trim red melon sword: If the sword plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf.
— Note: Bristlenose plecos and other plecos have been known to eat sword plants, so watch out for this if you see holes in the leaves.

How to Propagate Red Melon Sword

Sword plants reproduce by sending out a horizontal runner with a little plantlet at the end. The plantlet will sprout its own leaves and roots that grow into the ground. You can cut off the plantlet and re-plant it in a different location.

Emerald Glow: The Ultimate Festival Essential
Color: Green, Color: Green
​I recently picked up these Green Face Gems for a festival, and I have to say, they are an absolute standout for anyone looking to level up their makeup game. The variety of shades in this pack is stunning; you get everything from a vibrant, electric lime to a deep, moody forest green that catches the light beautifully. Unlike some stickers that look flat or plastic, these have a high-quality multifaceted cut that mimics real emeralds, giving off a brilliant sparkle whether you’re under the sun or shifting strobe lights at a rave. ​The self-adhesive backing is surprisingly reliable. I was worried about them sliding off halfway through a humid outdoor concert, but they stayed firmly in place through hours of movement. Despite the strong grip, they didn't pull at my skin or leave a sticky residue when it was time to take them off. I also experimented with placing them in my hair—which looked incredible—and they held onto the strands much better than I anticipated. If you’re planning a themed look or just want to add a sophisticated pop of color to your eyes, these gems are a total win. They are easy to apply, comfortable to wear, and genuinely look like professional-grade body art. ​

Beautiful gems! However…
Color: Gold
Had to dock 2 stars because the tweezers are too flimsy to actually assist with applying the gems, which sucks because that was a huge selling point for me. Additionally, the glue sticks a little too well to the paper. Many gems detached from the adhesive, which made them useless if the objective is to apply the gems to your face. Still had to award a few stars because the ones that did manage to successfully pull from the paper without coming apart, stayed on my face for about 3-4 hours outside in the sweaty heat. I anticipated to lose a few but they survived and that impressed me!

Great face gems!
Color: Pink
I’ve been really happy with these pink face gems and self-adhesive hair jewels. The designs are super cute and sparkly, with hearts and stars that add a fun, festive touch to Valentine’s Day makeup, festivals, raves, or any playful look. They’re easy to use since they are self-adhesive, so there’s no extra glue needed and they go on smoothly without fuss. The gems stick well and stay in place through movement, dancing, or photos, and they feel comfortable on the skin and in the hair without itching or irritation. The pink shades are bright and eye-catching, making them perfect for girls and women who want a bit of bling. For the quality, sparkle, and fun factor, these rhinestone stickers offer excellent value for the money. If you’re looking for a quick way to elevate your makeup or costume with glittery accents, these jewels are a great choice.

Very comfortable. Good stickiness.
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
These face/body gems are decent quality. It comes with a generous amount of gems - 3 sheets of gems in various sizes. A couple of the gems arrived with defects - the gold paint had flaked off some parts to show black underneath. Most of the gems were in good condition though. These are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I forgot I had them on at one point and was reminded when I looked in the mirror. The adhesive did not irritate my skin at all and I wore them for a few hours. I was also able to reposition the gems several times without them loosing their staying power. I had to be careful when removing the gems from the plastic sheet because sometimes the adhesive dot would stay stuck to the plastic sheet and the gem would come off without any adhesive attached. I was able to put it back down and get it to re-stick to the adhesive and then carefully remove them together in order to apply it on my skin. Overall I'd say these are worth the purchase.

Bling that is shiny and some of the prettiest pinks - perfect for Valentine's Day!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
For just about 5 dollars you get 3 sheets of Pink Face Gems/Hair Jewels by VVPESCA. These gems come in the prettiest pinks and have an amazing shine to them. You get your traditional gems of different sizes, but also some that come in unique hearts and stars shapes. I tried sticking them on my face and they stuck very well! I was shocked that they did not come sliding off, even with make-up on. However, when I was ready to remove them, they did come off surprisingly easy and did not leave any sort of mark or irritation. I have not tried them in my hair just yet, but based off of the high quality, I think it would work equally as well. This set of bling comes with a tweezer tool to help remove the gems from their sheets and apply them precisely where you want them. It is more helpful than I realized, as I originally tried placing them on with my fingers and it just didn't cut it as well as the tweezers. I love this set of bling! These jewels are truly great for anytime, but they are especially cute for Valentine's day. I will be wearing some that day to add a little something special!
