The failure rate among growers attempting TC acclimation without the right setup is high — not because the process is inherently difficult, but because the specific requirements of that transitional period are easy to underestimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe products in this collection cover the essentials for a successful acclimation setup. Humidity management is the most critical factor — TC plants need a gradual reduction in ambient humidity over several weeks rather than an immediate transition to normal home conditions. The right humidity dome, combined with an appropriate substrate that supports early root development without waterlogging, gives newly acclimated TC plants the controlled environment they need to establish successfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/fluval-stratum-non-bio\"\u003eFluval Stratum\u003c\/a\u003e is our preferred acclimation substrate — its granular structure, neutral pH, and support for beneficial microbial activity make it ideal for the delicate early root systems of TC plants transitioning from sterile media.
