Plant Sizes

The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

If you choose a different postage option, such as Tracked 24 or Tracked 48, you will not be covered for any damages due to delays and will assume the risk yourself if the plants do not arrive in good condition. Express Delivery includes an insurance policy, which may cost more but provides added peace of mind.

The "Christmas tree moss" is a unique moss species from Brazil that stands 1-3 cm tall. It got its name because of its distinct side branch structure that resembles fir tree branches and sets it apart from the ordinary Vesicularia dubyana. This moss variety is more demanding than regular Java moss, and it grows at a slower pace.

One of the most interesting characteristics of this moss is its attachment to roots and stones, which makes it easy to use and place in your aquarium. However, as it spreads through the water, it may require pruning to maintain its attractive shape.

If you're interested in other mosses, Taxiphyllum barbieri is another species that you may want to consider. It's a versatile moss that can be used in a variety of ways and makes a great addition to any aquarium.

Product details

1. Grown in a laboratory

Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.

2. How to handle them

They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.

3. Pot sizes

Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.
