Proserpinaca Palustris In Vitro Aquarium Plant: A Unique, colour-Changing Stem Plant

Proserpinaca Palustris, also known as Mermaid Weed, is a striking stem plant that changes appearance depending on its environment. In lower light conditions, its leaves remain green and serrated, while under high light and CO2, the foliage develops a stunning reddish-orange hue, making it a fantastic choice for contrast in aquascapes. Its delicate, finely toothed leaves add texture and depth, making it a favourite for midground or background placement. Grown in sterile in vitro conditions, this plant is free from pests, snails, and algae, ensuring a healthy start in your aquarium.
