How Long to Soak Aquarium Plants in Hydrogen Peroxide

Discussion on the length of aquatic plants soaked in hydrogen peroxide
Anyone who raises aquatic plants often encounters the task of sterilization and algae removal, and those with hydrogen peroxide are quite effective in this. However, the length of soaking time is really related to the life and death of plants, and you can't be careless.

At the beginning, look at the category of plants. If it is a delicate and delicate species, such as Moss, its leaves are thin and soft. Soak in hydrogen peroxide for a short time. Soak in a low concentration of liquid, such as diluted to 1% - 3%, for two to three minutes is enough. The duration may damage the leaves, causing them to turn yellow and damage their vitality.

And like crown grass, the stems are thick and the leaves are thick, and the tolerance is strong. You can use a slightly higher concentration, about 3% - 5% hydrogen peroxide solution, and soak it for five to eight minutes. In this way, it can remove the epiphytic bacteria and algae without seriously harming the body.

Furthermore, it depends on the harm of the bacteria and algae. If the bacteria and algae grow densely and cause serious harm, it can increase slightly when soaking. However, caution must be taken to prevent the plants from being overwhelmed. In case of a water sponge covering, it can be extended to ten minutes when tolerating the plants; if the plants are weak, even if the bacteria and algae are raging, it should not exceed five minutes, and after soaking, it must be quickly washed with water to remove its residual liquid.

Also, the method of soaking should be done gently. Prepare an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide liquid in the container first, place the plants carefully, and the timing is accurate. The time is set, take the plants quickly, rinse them with water many times, and ensure that the residual liquid is removed before moving to the aquarium tank.

In short, aquatic plants are soaked in hydrogen peroxide, and the time varies according to the type of plants and the damage of bacteria and algae. If done properly, the plants will be lush and the aquarium habitat will be beautiful; if there is a slight poor pool, the plants may decay and the aquarium ecology will be unbalanced. Therefore, the grower must not ignore it.
