Betta Root Caps | Next-Gen Slow-Release Aquarium Plant Fertilizer | 5–6 Month Nutrition
BSS™ Betta Root Caps are an upgraded slow-release root fertilizer designed for planted aquariums where stronger growth and a broader nutrient profile are required. Each capsule delivers nutrients directly into the substrate and root zone, helping support vigorous root development, healthy foliage and sustained plant growth for up to approximately 5–6 months.
Compared with our standard BSS™ Root Caps, the Betta formula features increased potassium alongside a wider balance of macronutrients, magnesium and trace elements. This makes it particularly well suited to demanding planted aquariums, heavy root feeders and densely planted setups. When installed correctly beneath the substrate, nutrients are released gradually where plant roots can access them most effectively.
✔ Premium High-Potassium Formula – Enhanced potassium levels support healthy foliage, strong growth and overall plant development.
✔ Enhanced Nutrient Profile – Broader blend of macronutrients, magnesium and trace elements than our standard Root Caps.
✔ 5–6 Month Slow Release – Provides long-lasting nutrition directly within the substrate.
✔ Strong Root Development – Supports established root systems and vigorous plant growth.
✔ Ideal for Demanding Plants – Particularly suited to heavy root feeders and densely planted aquariums.
✔ Clean & Convenient – Designed to remain buried in the substrate, helping minimise nutrient release into the water column.
✔ Aquarium Friendly – Suitable for freshwater planted aquariums containing fish, shrimp and snails when used as directed.
How to Use
-
Place in the Substrate
Push one BSS™ Betta Root Cap fully beneath the substrate close to the plant's root system. Insert the capsule deep enough that it remains completely buried.
-
Space as Required
Space Root Caps approximately 10–15cm apart in densely planted areas, or place individually near heavy root-feeding plants.
-
Replace as Required
Reapply approximately every 5–6 months, adjusting according to plant density, growth rate and nutrient demand.
Important: Always keep BSS™ Betta Root Caps completely buried beneath the substrate to help minimise nutrients entering the water column.
