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.

Great Everyday Cleanser
One of the best affordable cleansers i’ve ever bought— as someone who’s struggled with hormonal acne for 5 years. Being into skincare for this long, it was hard to find cleansers that were clarifying and effective. Not only have I repurchased this item 4x already, but my family loves it as well. The ingredients are great and the price is amazing for the size. It leaves a good finish on my skin, helping myself feel more clean. The gel consistency is great as someone who’s struggled with both oily and dry skin— it’s been a perfect medium in times of accutane (where my skin was extremely dry) and when oily skin. This doesn’t dry out the skin at all, making it a good option. No significant smell or fragrance— overall the perfect option if you’re looking for a median cleanser.

Helped Clear My Skin Fast
This cleanser really surprised me. The 2% salicylic acid works well without drying my skin out. My breakouts started calming down after a few days, and the redness around my chin went down a lot. It feels gentle but still effective.

Best product and brand for my sensitive skin
Works great… this brand is great for acne, white head, dark head and all types of skin condition. I love all their products. This product in particular doesn’t make my skin dry or irritated. Eventho my skin is very sensitive to most products I haven’t had any skin issue with any of their products.

okay so far...
I was wondering how my skin would react from this since I've been the cerave SA cleanser for a while now and didn't notice any dryness whatsoever with that. But, I've always wondered the strength or percentage of SA in the cerave (which is impossible to find out I guess...) I'm guessing it's less than 2% so I wanted to try out a cleanser with a higher % to see if there was a different. After a few days I did notice some dryness, which I suppose could be due to wintertime, but I think it's the cleanser. Not surprising, I was bracing myself for dry skin. I will probably take a break until my skin returns to normal and reintroduce this to a few times a week or something, or I may save it for the humid summers. Other than that, I like the formula, it has a very subtle scent I don't mind at all.

Smooth and oil free skin
At first I was scepticle, losing hope that anything would help my oily acne prone skin. But then I ordered this, and it's magic. Now my skin is smooth, balanced, and the acne is slowly going away. Best thing of all, no more oily skin! Will be ordering again!
