    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.

      INACCURATE DESCRIPTION
      Style: Dermaplaning Oil, Style: Dermaplaning Oil
      the product description reads, “ Dermaplane Oil for Smooth Razor Glide, with Squalane & Vitamin E, Face Oil for Dermaplaning Oil, All-Natural Formula, Dermaplane Spray Oil, Non-Greasy, Suitable for Sensitive Skin 3.21 Fl Oz by MyMed” However, the product I actually received is one box of 1.7 fl oz. Not worth the hassle of returning. Just want others to be aware of the product error.

      Silky smooth for dermaplaning
      Style: Dermaplane Oil
      This is a very effective dermaplaning oil that isn't greasy and allows my razor to glide over my skin smoothly. After use, my skin feels better hydrated and smooth. The ingredients are natural and good for the skin, and I've noticed a difference when I use it. I highly recommend this natural oil for dermaplaning.

      Wonderful but Sharp!
      Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
      These things are legit! This is not the typical ones you find in Walmart, Ross, TJMaxx etc. This is a true blade that will indeed do authentic dermaplaning. That said, be EXTREMELY careful with this as you can easily cut yourself. I highly recommend to anyone experienced but if you have no experience I would opt for the typical ones you can buy in the stores previously mentioned.

      Professional-Quality Scalpel Blades for Dermaplaning = Clean, Precise & Individually Sterile
      Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10, Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10
      I’ve been using these sterile disposable scalpels for dermaplaning, and I’m honestly very impressed with the quality especially for the price point. Each blade comes individually packaged and clearly sterile, which is extremely important for both professional and at-home use. The blades are sharp, precise, and glide smoothly across the skin without tugging or causing irritation. That clean, controlled edge is exactly what you want for effective dermaplaning. What I also love is the consistency every single scalpel in the box performs the same. No dull blades, no inconsistencies. The handle feels lightweight but still easy to control, giving you a steady grip during use. These are perfect for: • Dermaplaning • Precision skincare treatments • Light professional use If you’re someone who values hygiene, sharpness, and reliability, these are a great find. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

      The softest skin you will ever have without any expensive products!!
      Great for removing dead skin and peach fuzz. A lot of other blades have the little teeth that are great for preventing scrapes and cuts but don’t quite get close enough for me. You do have to be careful because they are very, very sharp and you can cut yourself. It does have rounded edge that is very helpful in preventing the little cuts. My skin is super smooth and my makeup goes on amazing after using. As a 47 year old that makes a huge difference.
