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.

Very Good
Eucerin cream is an excellent skincare product, especially for dry and sensitive skin. It provides deep hydration and helps restore the skin’s natural barrier. It absorbs well without leaving a greasy feeling, making the skin soft and smooth. Many people notice improvements in skin dryness and irritation after using it regularly. It is also dermatologist-recommended, which makes it a trusted choice for daily skin care.

Fantastic moisturizer for overnight. Quality and small amt used justifies the $$
Love this stuff! It goes on like silk, and is quickly absorbed. No greasiness. Just enough extra body from the daytime version to be moisturizing all night. As for the dark spot aspect, I don’t really have any spots to correct, therefore I can’t speak to it. This is just an incredible moisturizer for me that doesn’t clog my pores and isn’t greasy..

I started seeing results after one and a half week!
A week and a half after starting this product, together with the serum, I started noticing a brighter and more even tone on my skin. And my sun spots started to fade. It worked for me... and really fast! To give you an idea of how uneven my skin was... when going out, my husband used to tell me to put on some face powder to even out the tone of my skin. Not anymore. I felt it was really gentle, and I have a very sensitive/rosacea prone skin. I combine both the night cream and the serum with my Vanicream skincare regime. I later added a niacinamide serum (I got that tip from Dr. Dray on Youtube) to boost the efficiency of the whole treatment. Be careful with the niacinamide though... some people cannot tolerate it. I think I could tolerate it because I already had my skin repaired with my Vanicream skincare regime. In conclusion, this product is worth every penny!
