    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.

      Perfect travel wipes – very convenient for theme parks
      Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10), Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
      I bought these unscented mini wipes for a trip to Disney and they were perfect to carry around all day. The small size makes them really easy to keep in a purse or pocket. I ended up using about one per day just for myself. I was going to the restroom very frequently during the day and they were really useful for freshening up, cleaning my hands, or quick personal hygiene. They’re unscented, which I personally prefer, and the quality is really good. I still keep one in my purse because the size is perfect to carry around. I’d definitely pack them again for another trip.

      Tiny but effective
      Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
      These little wipes are so cute, and they definitely come in handy when you are traveling. These wipes provide just the right amount of moisture and you can use them on literally any body part. They come in handy when you are in a restroom situation with no TP or if you are traveling in a country that uses manual bidets. These were decently thick, held up very well, didn't tear easily, had a perfect moisture level, and no scent. Did not leave the skin irritated or itchy after use.

      Perfect!
      Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
      I have a 6 year old and we still bring wipes in the car or in my purse wherever we go because you never know when you need one. This is the perfect size and just what I was looking for. It doesn’t have scent, seals well, soft and just enough moisture. I usually wear small purses and this is a savior when we travel abroad.
