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.

When it comes to aquarium plants, Bucephalandras and Anubias share many similarities despite their origins in Asia and Africa, respectively. Growing these aquatic plants follows similar guidelines.
One notable variety of Bucephalandra is the 'Needle Leaf,' which has slightly higher requirements compared to the 'Diabolica' and 'Pygmaeae,' but it remains an easy plant to cultivate. Providing additional CO2 and slightly increasing the light intensity can be beneficial. The emerged leaves of this plant are green, elongated, and slightly wavy, adorned with numerous tiny white dots. Each leaf is less than 0.5 cm wide and measures between 1 and 2 cm in length. Moreover, the youngest parts of the rhizome display an attractive red color. The growth rate of this plant is slow.
It is crucial not to cover the creeping rhizome during planting, as this can lead to rotting and eventual death of the plant.
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.
