Tissue Culture Benefits
Laboratory-grown tissue culture offers a clean start without introducing snails or other unwanted hitchhikers.
Planting Instructions: Gently remove the plant from its cup and rinse away the growing medium. Carefully separate individual plantlets where possible and plant the roots into the substrate, keeping the crown above the surface.
Sold as one tissue culture cup. Plant size, quantity, and colour may vary. Young tissue culture plants may appear greener and develop deeper colour as they mature under suitable aquarium conditions.
