Ceramic Plant Rings
Porous ceramic rings used to anchor stem plant cuttings at the substrate surface — the cleanest and most effective method for planting and replanting stem plants without disturbing the substrate.

Works with All Stem Plants
Ceramic Plant Rings are small, porous ceramic rings used to secure stem plant cuttings at the substrate surface — providing a stable anchor that holds plants upright without the need to push stems into the substrate, disturb established root systems, or use anything that degrades over time. In planted shrimp tanks, stem plant maintenance — trimming and replanting cut stems — is one of the most disruptive regular maintenance tasks, stirring substrate, uprooting neighbouring plants, and releasing trapped debris into the water column. Ceramic rings eliminate the substrate disturbance entirely: a cutting is inserted through the ring and both are lowered to the substrate surface, where the ceramic weight holds the stem in position while roots develop and anchor the plant naturally. The porous ceramic is completely inert, does not affect water chemistry, and develops a surface coating of beneficial bacteria over time that contributes to the biological filtration capacity of the tank. Reusable indefinitely — remove a cutting once it has rooted, reuse the ring for the next planting cycle.
What They DoFunction & Benefits
Anchor stem plant cuttings without substrate disturbance — insert a trimmed stem cutting through the ring and lower both to the substrate surface. The ceramic weight holds the cutting upright and in position while it develops roots — no pushing into substrate, no disturbing established root systems nearby, no debris cloud from substrate agitation. For tanks with established foreground carpets or fine substrate that distributes easily, this benefit is significant.
Porous ceramic is completely inert — no water chemistry impact — unglazed ceramic is chemically neutral in aquarium use and does not leach anything into the water column. It is safe for all freshwater livestock including sensitive Caridina shrimp in soft, acidic water where any leaching material would be immediately apparent in parameter testing. The rings can be boiled to clean between uses without any risk of contamination.
Porous surface accumulates beneficial bacteria over time — the micro-porous surface of unglazed ceramic provides a very high surface area relative to the ring's volume — the same property that makes ceramic rings effective biological filter media. Rings that have been in the tank for several weeks accumulate a bacterial colony that contributes to the biological filtration load, making them a net positive rather than neutral addition to the tank ecosystem.
Reusable indefinitely — remove once rooted, reuse for next cutting — once a stem plant has developed sufficient roots to hold itself in position — typically two to four weeks — the ceramic ring can be carefully removed and set aside for the next trimming cycle. A set of rings used across multiple trimming cycles becomes a permanent part of the stem plant maintenance toolkit rather than a consumable. Boil between uses if concerned about cross-contamination between tank setups.
Works with all stem plants in the catalog — compatible with Pennywort, Water Sprite, Anacharis Najas, Guppy Grass, Willow Hygro, Bacopa varieties, and any other stem plant that is planted as individual cuttings at the substrate surface. Works equally well for weighted-float use with plants like Anacharis Najas that are sometimes kept as mid-water tangles — the ring adds enough weight to hold a loose stem bundle at a specific depth without full substrate planting.
How to Use Them
Setup & Use
1Trim stem plant cutting and strip lower leaves — cut the stem plant at the desired length — typically 10–15cm — and strip leaves from the bottom 3–4cm of the cutting. The bare stem section is what sits inside and below the ring; the leafy portion extends upward above it.
2Thread the bare stem end through the ring — insert the stripped end of the stem through the ceramic ring so the ring rests at the base of the leafy section and the bare stem hangs below it. The ring should sit snugly against the lowest remaining leaves rather than sliding freely up and down the stem.
3Lower to the substrate surface in the desired position — place the ring-and-stem unit on the substrate surface at the intended planting position. The ceramic weight holds the ring flat and the stem upright. Position with tweezers for precision in tightly planted areas without disturbing adjacent plants or carpet.
4Remove ring once roots are established — after two to four weeks roots will have developed sufficiently to hold the plant without the ring. Carefully slide the ring off the now-rooted stem by lifting slightly and rotating — the new root system is delicate at this stage and rough removal may disturb the plant. Set the ring aside for reuse.
💡 Bonus Tip
Ceramic plant rings used during an initial tank setup — before substrate is established and before any livestock is introduced — produce the cleanest and most debris-free replanting experience possible. Plant the full layout using rings, allow two to three weeks for initial rooting, then remove the rings before introducing shrimp and other livestock. The substrate remains undisturbed throughout the establishment period and the water stays clear during the sensitive initial cycling phase when any debris release is most problematic.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number.
Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again.
Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned.
It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact.
At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.

Asurion is AWESOME!
Ok, so let me start with the fact that you should NOT waste your time calling Amazon's customer service if you think you have a claim under Asurion's monthly protection plan. CALL ASURION!
I wasted almost an hour with Amazon representatives that have absolutely no training in how the Asurion plan works, or even any idea if my item was covered. In fact, they told me the mechanized chair I purchased under the plan wasn't covered!
Finally, my call got escalated to a manager who was just as clueless about my coverage, but had the best idea ever... call Asurion!
The smartest thing I did that morning was hang up with Amazon, and reach out to Asurion as I should have done in the first place.
Dealing with Asurion's customer service, after my Amazon call, was like being elevated to VIP status! 😄
Asurion's rep nicely took all my info, including the chair's purchase date and order number. Then they asked that I upload a couple of pictures of the product, along with a written description of the malfunction I had mentioned over the phone.
This is where it gets really good. They told me they'd review the claim to determine if they'd send a repair
specialist or reimburse me the cost of the item. In less than 48 hours, they determined that a payout was in order, and sent me an email that included an Amazon gift card for the total cost of the item minus the taxes I had paid, which I loaded directly into my Amazon wallet. Apparently, Asurion does not include the purchase taxes in their coverage.
But, I can live with that.
All in all, Asurion's claims division get a double thumbs up 👍🏽👍🏽, and the company gets big ups from me for not only standing behind their protection plan, but doing so expeditiously!
Special note: If you buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have Asurion's monthly protection plan, scroll the item listing before pulling the trigger on your purchase... you need to see the green streamer that indicates your product is protected by the plan. If you don't see that, check to see if there are alternative products that might be covered. There are very few electronic or high ticket items that aren't covered, but looking for that green banner in the item description that says it's covered is key to foregoing any future headaches.

If they can't fix it they will replace it.
This protection plan that i pay monthly for paid for itself ten fold. My 3D printer just quit working and after the manufacturer warrenty had ran out at that. I submitted my claim they emailed me a shipping label in which I shipped out my printer that same day. Two days later they received my printer determined it couldc not be fixed and sent me a Amazon gift card for the full price of my printer. Today I will be receiving my new 3d printer thanks to Complete Protect. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to purchase this policy. This warrenty is like having a home warrenty like Homeshield but for your electronics and probably other stuff that i just have not read to see what else. This insurance will save me so much money over the corse of this year and every year after that. Thank you Complete Protect.

Chromebook coverage.
EXCELLENT COVERAGE, hassle free, just had to return product for evaluation & decision.
The only complaint I have is there was NO communication on the status of my returning the Chromebook for repair or replacement. I had to keep calling. I did get the full value of purchase on an Amazon gift card so I could buy another one for grandson’s school.
Thank You SOOO MUCH ASURION, eternally grateful for your assistance!
Will always purchase your coverage.
