Water sprite is an easy-to-grow, aquatic fern with dense foliage that provides excellent shelter for small fish and fry. It can be grown traditionally planted into substrate or used as a floating plant. Water sprite grows fairly quickly when given plenty of nutrients under low to medium lighting. It is often confused with water wisteria because of their complex leaf texture and bright green color. However, water sprite has a more thin, lace-like leaf structure, whereas the leaves of water wisteria are a little more broad and sturdy.

How to Plant Water Sprite in Aquarium 

1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
2. Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.
3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to plant each stem deeply, at least 2 to 3 inches into the ground, which means the substrate may cover some of the bottom leaves.
4. Don’t plant the stem plants all in a single bunch but rather individually with a little space between so that the roots have some room to grow.
5. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the stem at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. If the stems have no roots, some people will float them at the surface until they develop roots and then plant them into the substrate.

How to Grow Water Sprite Aquarium Plant

— Aquarium plant water sprite care is very easy, so start by using low to medium lighting between 10-35 PAR to prevent "leggy" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves). 
— Why is my water sprite plant melting? This stem plant is grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form. The plant you receive may be half-converted and still need time to adjust to life under water. To help speed up the transition, provide plenty of light and nutrients to encourage new leaves to sprout as the old leaves melt away. Consider floating the stems at the surface until it grows more roots and can be easily planted into the substrate.
— Why is my water sprite turning yellow or brown? If your stem plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency, so measure the nitrate level using a multi-test strip. Dose with Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer until the water has 20-50 ppm nitrate. 
— How to trim water sprite: If the plant is too tall or the bottom half of the stem has lost its leaves, prune off the top portion and replant it.

How to Propagate Water Sprite

Stem plants can be easily propagated by trimming off the top half of the plant and replanting it in another location. The original plant will continue growing upwards from where it was cut and may even create multiple branches.

Enough space and nice look
Color: Dark Coffee
So far is good. I bought it to go to work . It's not leather and it may not last many years, but for me it's fine. I can locked it in my file cabinet because it flexible and soft.

The red color is not a true red.
Color: Red
The red bag that I received is more of a dull, red clay, depressing color. Otherwise this pocket book is great.

Beautiful and sleek black hobo bag!
Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size
This purse is absolutely lovely for the price! Such a cute hobo bag, yet is modern and sleek to make any outfit look polished. It is super soft and has a faux leather texture with a beautiful sheen to it. It seems like great quality and if it ever gets saggy or old, it's cheap enough to replace easily. I love the gold hardware and it also has a lovely gold metal label of the brand on the outside making it look expensive. Also the strap is thick enough that it is quite comfortable on the shoulder. The only gripe I have is that it looked a bit bigger online, it fits about as much as a tote bag would; also the pockets inside are a bit small, but overall, I LOVE it!

So spacious, great school bag
Color: Black, Size: One Size
I love this bag! I was looking for a bag that would hold my laptop without looking like a school bag, and this is perfect for the job. It fits my MacBook, granted it’s a tight fit with the case on, and it’s like a bottomless pit. I lose things in there so often, it’s so big. I’ve been using it for months now and it’s showing pretty much no signs of wear, and it’s pretty lightweight until I put my school things in it. It has two pockets on the interior, one open one on the side and one that zips up on the other side. The one that zips holds a decent bit. I held a ton of makeup in it before I decided I needed something better and that I was making it poke out too much. I don’t use the other side as much. I hold a couple of things in it, but nothing that can easily slip out. Ultimately, this bag is sleek and easy to carry around, it’s also not uncomfortable to wear when holding heavy things. I feel like skinny straps always dig into my arm, but this one is comfy. I liked it so much that I got another one in red as well. Overall, it’s a great bag and I recommend it to anyone who needs a Mary Poppins bag to hold a lot of things.
