🌿 General Care & Maintenance

To keep your aquarium jar healthy and looking beautiful, please follow these simple care guidelines:

🧼 Handle with Care

• Always lift and move the jar gently using both hands.
  
• Avoid dragging or tilting, especially when it’s filled with water to prevent stress on the glass and base.
  
• Keep out of reach of children and handle under adult supervision if fragile accessories are included.
  

💧 Water Maintenance

• Replace 30–40% of the water every 1 week to keep the ecosystem balanced.
  
• Use dechlorinated or conditioned water — avoid adding untreated tap water directly.
  
• Wipe off any algae from the glass with a soft sponge or cloth; avoid chemical cleaners.
  

🌿 Aquatic Plant Care

• Trim plants regularly to prevent overcrowding and to encourage healthy new growth.
  
• Remove any yellowing or decaying leaves promptly to keep the water clear.
  
• When cleaning or rearranging, handle plants gently by their base to avoid damaging the roots.
  
• If using fertilizers, apply small, measured amounts suitable for nano or jar aquariums.
  

💡 Lighting Guidelines

• Provide 6–8 hours of light per day using the included desktop lamp or suitable LED lighting.
  
• Avoid placing the jar under direct sunlight — this can lead to temperature spikes and algae growth.
  
• Use a timer if possible to maintain a consistent lighting schedule, which supports plant health and prevents algae blooms.
  
• If plants start to look pale or leggy, slightly increase light duration or intensity.
  

🌡 Environment

• Keep the jar in a stable environment away from drafts, air conditioners, or heat sources.
  
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to protect fish and plants alike.
