NEO Soil Plant 8l - substrate for a planted aquarium

NEO Soil Plant substrate is designed to create ideal conditions for a planted aquarium. The substrate has many features that maintain the appropriate pH, KH, and GH of the water. Additionally, it has a rich composition that supports plant growth.

These advantages are due to special two-component granules of the substrate, which contain different types of soil inside.
The granules are covered with a special sintered clay that prevents the granules from breaking apart and provides excellent protection for the soil contained inside against fragmentation and high pressure occurring in large aquariums.


Excellent water quality and the rich composition of the substrate enhance and accelerate plant growth. It improves the cell structure of the plant, strengthening its condition and speeding up cell transformation, significantly increasing the survival rate of freshly planted in vitro plants, which are usually not initially adapted to life in full immersion.

The soil creates stable water quality just 7 days after flooding. Due to the special structure of the soil with different varieties inside the granules, this soil has a lower weight and an excellent filtration effect.

In addition to reducing pH and water hardness, this soil has other positive properties.
For example, bacteria are already present in the soil and become active when the soil comes into contact with water. The bacteria convert harmful substances that could harm shrimp or fish.

The rapid growth of bacteria is possible due to the presence of a nutrient medium for aerobic and anaerobic nitrifying bacteria inside the granules of the substrate. The maturation process of the aquarium is much faster and more stable due to these features.
Microscopic openings in the coating of the granules increase their surface area, thereby increasing the habitat for other important strains of bacteria.

Unlike other substrates, NEO Soil also has adsorptive properties, providing excellent water clarity.
