Fluval Plant Stratum– Premium substrate for plant aquariums & aquascaping

Fluval® Plant Stratum is a high-quality bottom substrate developed to promote strong plant growth in freshwater aquariums. The porous and airy structure creates optimal conditions for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to establish themselves, which contributes to better water quality and a stable environment for both plants and fish.

The substrate makes it easy for plant roots to spread and penetrate into the bottom material, which improves nutrient absorption and stimulates rapid and healthy growth.
