Precision Planting with the Ista I-546 Forceps
The Ista Water Plant Forceps provide the reach and fine control required for planting and maintaining freshwater aquascapes. Their narrow precision tips make it easier to position small aquatic plants, foreground species and delicate stems without disturbing a larger area of substrate.

Ista Aquascaping Forceps Compatibility/Notes
The narrow tips are intended for precision work and should not be used to pry heavy rockwork or lift objects that may bend the tool. Rinse and dry the forceps after use to help preserve the finish and prevent mineral deposits.
Keep the tips away from aquarium glass and acrylic surfaces when applying pressure. Store the forceps safely and keep them out of reach of children.
Ista Water Plant Forceps Directions
Grip the plant gently near the root area and insert it into the substrate at the desired location. Release pressure gradually and withdraw the forceps at a slight angle so the plant remains anchored rather than being pulled back out.
After use, rinse the forceps under clean tap water to remove substrate and organic residue. Wipe the tool dry before storage and avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
