Anubias which is a company based in Italy produce a very broad range of tissue cultured plants and some of them look pretty exciting. I also realise some of you may not have a clue what tissue culture plants are so here's the definition:
Tissue culture (T/C) is a way to obtain perfect, sterile clones of a plant thanks to in vitro conditions, from a very small piece of a mother plant. T/C cultured plants are the best solution for many problems, for the aquarium enthusiasts.
Benefit for the aquarist:
- The availability of plants generally avoided by plant nurseries, because difficult to grow emerged
- Many T/C cultured species start growing very promptly once in a tank, faster than potted plants grown emerged
- T/C plants are pesticide-free
- T/C plants are algae spores-free
- T/C plants don’t carry Lemna sp., snails, Hydra and any other unwanted organism
- T/C plants are rockwool–free, so no contaminants or mechanic threats are carried into the tank
