Ceramic Plant Rings

Porous ceramic rings used to anchor stem plant cuttings at the substrate surface — the cleanest and most effective method for planting and replanting stem plants without disturbing the substrate.

Anchors Stem Plants Cleanly Porous Ceramic — Inert & Safe No Substrate Disturbance Reusable Indefinitely Accumulates Beneficial Bacteria Works with All Stem Plants

Ceramic Plant Rings are small, porous ceramic rings used to secure stem plant cuttings at the substrate surface — providing a stable anchor that holds plants upright without the need to push stems into the substrate, disturb established root systems, or use anything that degrades over time. In planted shrimp tanks, stem plant maintenance — trimming and replanting cut stems — is one of the most disruptive regular maintenance tasks, stirring substrate, uprooting neighbouring plants, and releasing trapped debris into the water column. Ceramic rings eliminate the substrate disturbance entirely: a cutting is inserted through the ring and both are lowered to the substrate surface, where the ceramic weight holds the stem in position while roots develop and anchor the plant naturally. The porous ceramic is completely inert, does not affect water chemistry, and develops a surface coating of beneficial bacteria over time that contributes to the biological filtration capacity of the tank. Reusable indefinitely — remove a cutting once it has rooted, reuse the ring for the next planting cycle.

What They Do

Function & Benefits

Anchor stem plant cuttings without substrate disturbance — insert a trimmed stem cutting through the ring and lower both to the substrate surface. The ceramic weight holds the cutting upright and in position while it develops roots — no pushing into substrate, no disturbing established root systems nearby, no debris cloud from substrate agitation. For tanks with established foreground carpets or fine substrate that distributes easily, this benefit is significant. Porous ceramic is completely inert — no water chemistry impact — unglazed ceramic is chemically neutral in aquarium use and does not leach anything into the water column. It is safe for all freshwater livestock including sensitive Caridina shrimp in soft, acidic water where any leaching material would be immediately apparent in parameter testing. The rings can be boiled to clean between uses without any risk of contamination. Porous surface accumulates beneficial bacteria over time — the micro-porous surface of unglazed ceramic provides a very high surface area relative to the ring's volume — the same property that makes ceramic rings effective biological filter media. Rings that have been in the tank for several weeks accumulate a bacterial colony that contributes to the biological filtration load, making them a net positive rather than neutral addition to the tank ecosystem. Reusable indefinitely — remove once rooted, reuse for next cutting — once a stem plant has developed sufficient roots to hold itself in position — typically two to four weeks — the ceramic ring can be carefully removed and set aside for the next trimming cycle. A set of rings used across multiple trimming cycles becomes a permanent part of the stem plant maintenance toolkit rather than a consumable. Boil between uses if concerned about cross-contamination between tank setups. Works with all stem plants in the catalog — compatible with Pennywort, Water Sprite, Anacharis Najas, Guppy Grass, Willow Hygro, Bacopa varieties, and any other stem plant that is planted as individual cuttings at the substrate surface. Works equally well for weighted-float use with plants like Anacharis Najas that are sometimes kept as mid-water tangles — the ring adds enough weight to hold a loose stem bundle at a specific depth without full substrate planting.
How to Use Them

Setup & Use

1Trim stem plant cutting and strip lower leaves — cut the stem plant at the desired length — typically 10–15cm — and strip leaves from the bottom 3–4cm of the cutting. The bare stem section is what sits inside and below the ring; the leafy portion extends upward above it.
2Thread the bare stem end through the ring — insert the stripped end of the stem through the ceramic ring so the ring rests at the base of the leafy section and the bare stem hangs below it. The ring should sit snugly against the lowest remaining leaves rather than sliding freely up and down the stem.
3Lower to the substrate surface in the desired position — place the ring-and-stem unit on the substrate surface at the intended planting position. The ceramic weight holds the ring flat and the stem upright. Position with tweezers for precision in tightly planted areas without disturbing adjacent plants or carpet.
4Remove ring once roots are established — after two to four weeks roots will have developed sufficiently to hold the plant without the ring. Carefully slide the ring off the now-rooted stem by lifting slightly and rotating — the new root system is delicate at this stage and rough removal may disturb the plant. Set the ring aside for reuse.
💡 Bonus Tip

Ceramic plant rings used during an initial tank setup — before substrate is established and before any livestock is introduced — produce the cleanest and most debris-free replanting experience possible. Plant the full layout using rings, allow two to three weeks for initial rooting, then remove the rings before introducing shrimp and other livestock. The substrate remains undisturbed throughout the establishment period and the water stays clear during the sensitive initial cycling phase when any debris release is most problematic.

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
