Water sprite is an easy-to-grow, aquatic fern with dense foliage that provides excellent shelter for small fish and fry. It can be grown traditionally planted into substrate or used as a floating plant. Water sprite grows fairly quickly when given plenty of nutrients under low to medium lighting. It is often confused with water wisteria because of their complex leaf texture and bright green color. However, water sprite has a more thin, lace-like leaf structure, whereas the leaves of water wisteria are a little more broad and sturdy.

How to Plant Water Sprite in Aquarium 

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 plant each stem deeply, at least 2 to 3 inches into the ground, which means the substrate may cover some of the bottom leaves.
4. Don’t plant the stem plants all in a single bunch but rather individually with a little space between so that the roots have some room to grow.
5. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the stem at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. If the stems have no roots, some people will float them at the surface until they develop roots and then plant them into the substrate.

How to Grow Water Sprite Aquarium Plant

— Aquarium plant water sprite care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 PAR to prevent "leggy" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). 
— Why is my water sprite plant melting? This stem plant is grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form. The plant you receive may be half-converted and still need time to adjust to life under water. To help speed up the transition, provide plenty of light and nutrients to encourage new leaves to sprout as the old leaves melt away. Consider floating the stems at the surface until it grows more roots and can be easily planted into the substrate.
— Why is my water sprite turning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. 
— How to trim water sprite: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.

How to Propagate Water Sprite

Stem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location. The original plant will continue growing upwards from where it was cut and may even create multiple branches.

Not eczema skin friendly
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Since I didn’t remember which sunblock spray I had previously purchased (that was super awesome), I got this one with a few other ‘kid’ sunblock spray and stick. I had grabbed this one for a splash pad birthday party this weekend only to find out it’s messy and not eczema skin friendly. Either we got a defective bottle or it’s just the way it sprays: runny goops of sunscreen that takes awhile to dry properly (see photo). And when it dries it really does stick onto your skin as advertised (aka not breathable, pore clogging, will irritate sensitive/eczema prone skin). My youngest has eczema prone skin (that’s been flare up free for 3 years) had a severe break out on her arms after using this. And even for the sake of photo demonstration for this post my own sensitive skin got red/irritated. So does it stick-yup. Is it messy? Definitely. Easy to apply? No (your kiddos have to stay put until it dries). Did it provide sun protection? Maybe…? Sensitive skin friendly? No. Eczema skin approved? Definitely not. Recommended? Nope. We threw it away and requested a refund.

10/10 sunscreen spray
I have combination skin that can get oily throughout the day, and I was excited to try the Naked Sundays SPF 50 Golden Glow Shimmer Setting Spray because I loved the idea of having sunscreen and a setting spray in one product. The first thing I noticed was the packaging. The ombre gold to purple container looked so luxurious and intentional. The spray mist was fine and even, making it perfect to apply over my makeup with a smooth finish. I love the scent. It smells fruity and delicious, which is such a refreshing change from the typical sunscreen smell that many other sunscreen sprays have. Overall I loved this spray and it exceeded my expectations. It kept my makeup looking fresh all day long and gave my skin a beautiful, glowing finish. I would definitely recommend and I will 100% be purchasing it again!

Easy Spray Sunscreen with No Greasy Hands & No Harsh Smell
Really impressed with this sunscreen. The spray nozzle makes it incredibly easy to apply without getting my hands greasy, which is a huge plus. It feels lightweight on the skin and doesn’t leave a sticky or heavy residue. One thing I loved is that it doesn’t have that typical strong sunscreen smell, it’s much more subtle and pleasant. I’ve also worn it during workouts, and it didn’t run into my eyes or cause any stinging when I was sweating, which is rare for me. It layers well over makeup and gives a nice, subtle glow without looking greasy. Overall, it’s convenient, mess-free, and something I’ll definitely keep using for easy SPF reapplication throughout the day.

Nozzle doesn’t work on a $30 sunscreen!!
I’d give this zero stars if I could. While I imagine the glow is amazing, I wouldn’t know because the spray nozzle on this doesn’t work. Not a single spray. I’m assuming it’s clogged with glitter and I’ve tried everything unclog it but for $30, I shouldn’t need to decant or switch this into another bottle. I will end up doing that, so I can hopefully use it, but my complaint remains. It is also not eligible for returns or replacements. Cute but useless packaging.
