Give your aquarium plants the strong, vibrant growth they deserve with Tropica Root Tab Nutrition Capsules — a premium nutrient supplement designed to deliver essential minerals directly to plant roots where they are needed most. Perfect for aquascapers and planted tank enthusiasts, these easy-to-use capsules ensure lush, healthy plant growth and long-term stability in your aquarium ecosystem.

Targeted Root Feeding for Stronger, Healthier Plants

Tropica Root Tabs provide a complete and balanced supply of macronutrients and micronutrients — including nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and manganese — along with other trace elements vital to plant health. Unlike liquid fertilizers that primarily feed through the water column, these capsules nourish the root zone directly, encouraging strong root systems and robust growth in rooted species.

Each capsule is designed for slow, controlled nutrient release over 1–2 months, giving plants a consistent source of food without disrupting water chemistry. This makes Tropica Root Tabs ideal for species such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, Vallisneria, and stem plants that thrive with rich substrate nutrition.

Easy Application

Using Tropica Root Tabs is simple. With aquarium tweezers, insert each capsule deep into the gravel or substrate, close to the root zone of your plants. Place capsules approximately every 10–15 cm for even nutrient distribution. Over time, the capsule gradually dissolves, releasing nutrients as the plants need them — minimizing waste and keeping your tank clean.

Because the capsules release nutrients slowly, you won’t experience sudden algae blooms or cloudy water commonly associated with over-fertilization. Your plants will benefit from a steady, balanced nutrient supply that supports natural, sustainable growth.

Safe and Environmentally Friendly

After all nutrients have been released, the outer capsule and the small internal resin balls remain in the substrate. These biologically harmless resin beads are completely safe for fish, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants. They will not decompose or release harmful substances into the water, ensuring the long-term safety of your aquarium ecosystem.
