Fish Science RootBoost Tablets – Aquatic Plant Root Fertiliser

RootBoost Tablets are root-zone fertiliser tablets designed for aquatic and semi-aquatic planted setups, including vivariums, terrariums, and aquatic enclosures where live plants form part of the environment. They deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, supporting strong growth in substrate-planted specimens without clouding the water column — a key consideration when live plants share a space with reptiles, amphibians, or fish.

Root-Zone Feeding

Tablet-form fertilisers work by placing nutrients at the root zone rather than dispersing them through the water. This targeted approach feeds plants efficiently and helps maintain water clarity, which matters in bioactive and naturalistic vivarium builds where water quality affects livestock directly.

Planted Vivarium Use

Suitable for use in aquatic sections of paludariums, tropical vivarium water features, and planted aquatic tanks. Live planting in reptile and amphibian enclosures supports naturalistic behaviour, raises humidity, and improves enclosure aesthetics — RootBoost Tablets help maintain plant health in these setups long-term.

How to Use

Push tablets into the substrate near plant roots at the intervals stated on the packaging. Dosing frequency will depend on plant density and enclosure size — follow manufacturer guidance for best results and to avoid over-fertilisation.

Keeping plants thriving in a bioactive or planted vivarium setup reduces the need for replacements and helps maintain a stable, naturalistic environment for the animals living in it.
