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.
Dwarf Hygrophila is a robust aquatic plant that is perfect for beginners trying to grow stem plants for the first time. It is popular and widely available due to its beauty and easy care. This plant can thrive in a wide variety of freshwater aquariums as long as its given some lighting.
Like many other stem plants, this plant can grow both emersed and submerged. It is a fast grower and can require frequent trimming when kept under high light with Co2 and the addition of fertilizers. Like most stem plants, propagation can be done simply by cutting along the stem and replanting 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.

"Arrived healthy and took off quickly!"
Dead and stinky
"I ordered 2 tissue cultures of Hygrophila Compacta and one was healthy and the other was rotting and stunk to high heaven. I wish I would have taken a picture of it, but I unfortunately did not. I was in such a hurry to get everything broke up and planted. I did sit on them for 3 days before I planted, so maybe that played a part in one being dead. So take this rating with a grain of salt, because everything else I ordered was in great shape."
