This AB Tools Aquatic Silk Plant is designed for aquarium enthusiasts seeking a natural-looking, low-maintenance underwater environment for their fish.

Yes, the plant is made from superior, non-toxic materials designed to be safe for all freshwater aquarium inhabitants.
No, the plant has a self-sinking design and a heavy-weight base, allowing you to simply place it on the substrate. It does not require planting.
Clean the plant as needed, typically when you notice algae buildup or discoloration. A simple rinse under cool water is usually sufficient.
Unlike live plants, this silk plant does not actively contribute to nutrient export or oxygenation of the water. It is purely decorative.
This product is designed for freshwater aquariums. Compatibility with saltwater environments has not been specified.
The plant has a height of 20cm.
While the silk material can be cut, trimming is generally not recommended as it may fray or alter the intended appearance. It's best suited for aquariums where its 20cm height fits the design.
Ensure the weighted base is firmly planted in the substrate. If the substrate is very fine, you may need to bury the base slightly deeper or add a small aquarium-safe weight around it.
Gently bend the leaves back into their desired shape. The material is flexible and can usually be repositioned. Soaking in warm water can sometimes help the material relax into a new shape.
Remove the plant from the aquarium and rinse it thoroughly under cool, running water. A soft brush or cloth can be used for gentle scrubbing. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Setup: Rinse the silk plant thoroughly under cool tap water before introducing it into your aquarium to remove any dust or manufacturing residue. Place the weighted base firmly on the substrate, ensuring it is stable.
Compatibility: This plant is compatible with all freshwater aquarium setups and is safe for use with all freshwater fish, invertebrates, and reptiles.
Care: Periodically rinse the plant with cool water to remove any accumulated algae or debris. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as these can be harmful to aquatic life. If algae becomes stubborn, a gentle scrub with a soft brush or cloth may be necessary, followed by a thorough rinse.
