JBL Kugeln Root Balls

JBL Kugeln pro-flora Root Balls are the ideal root fertiliser for freshwater aquariums. The package contains either 7 or 20 balls which are pressed fertiliser pellets, enriched by a special process that provides all the nutrients your aquatic plants need, especially iron and trace elements.

The nutrients are released slowly, providing a favourable depot effect. It contains clay, which stores nutrients and releases them as required. The ball shape makes it easy to use in existing freshwater-aquariums. When setting up a new aquarium, mix the root balls with aquarium gravel.

JBL Kugeln Root Balls are especially suitable for the specific nutrient supply or post-fertilisation of aquatic plants which mainly absorb their nutrients through the roots, such as echinodorus, cryptocoryne, and others. JBL Kugeln Root Balls do not contain phosphates nor nitrates and should be effective for at least 2 years.

Job rootballs

Great product, easy to use, just push down into substrate at base of plant. Fab for heavy feeders like echinodorus, lilies and the like. Thanks

JBL root balls

These are easy to use but it's a bit hard to say how well they work as these are a long term fert. Rather than a quick fix
Once again excellent service from the fishroom thanks .enjoy setting up the new shop Cam

I’ve placed a few ball in one corner of a tank just to test how well this works and the plants are growing big and tall with lots of new sprouting great products but I wonder how long it’ll last for in the tank.

I have used this product a handful of times in my planted tanks.
Easy to place into the substrate - although would recommend a rather thick layer of substrate to prevent the root tab being unburied by bottom dwelling fish such as corydoras.
I generally place 2 root tabs around my heavier root feeding plants as it speeds up their growth.
On top of all this the package arrived in perfect condition the following day!
Definitely 5/5 thanks cam!
