Key Features & Benefits

Care & Planting Information

• Ensure you thoroughly wash away or soak off the nutrient gel from the roots with your fingers before dividing and planting.
• Separate the larger tissue culture mats into small portions and plant each piece about an inch apart, burying them halfway into the substrate.
• Give the plant a few weeks to settle in, after which it will enthusiastically send out runners all around to blanket the foreground.
• Provide medium to high lighting and inject pressurized CO2 to drastically increase its growth speed and thickness, though it can grow fine in low-tech setups too.
• Master the prep and planting process by checking out a beginner's guide to tissue culture plants to prevent your delicate new plantlets from melting or floating away.
