Common Name: Mermaid Weed, Marsh Mermaid Weed
Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium.
This is a unique stem plant with saw-toothed edges on the leaves. Colors can range from a bright solid red to a lighter golden green coloration depending on lighting and nutrients. The leaves turn more red when dosing iron supplements in your tank.
This plant acts as a great background coverage, especially in a Dutch style aquascape where the unique leaves can add a great contrast to other plants.
Propagation is simple and straightforward like other stem plants. Simply cut along the stem and replant the cuttings.
Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.

"This plant cup came in really healthy. Very happy with this plant"
"Most of these started to melt off but A few survived, they sell out fast and I was lucky to get some. They have a orange/ red type color to them so it’s a good contrast to the red and green plants I have"
"Good looking plant"
"While I've had aquariums on and off for many years, This aquarium is my first experience with tissue cultures. This tissue culture arrived with gray, instead of clear gel, which was a surprise and gave me pause, but Damian assured me that it was because the gel included charcoal. The plants are growing well in my new aquarium, and have just about doubled in size since planting 10 days ago. I'm very pleased with the plants, and hope that they do well in the long run."
"This is my second purchase from buceplant.com and everything was fantastic! Quick shipping, high quality plants. My go to online plant store."
