    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.
    our delivery promise to you

    If you choose Express Delivery, we will replace any plants that are damaged due to delays. Express Delivery is a fast, trackable, and reliable option with a one hour delivery window. It also ensures that the plants will arrive in the same condition as when they left our facility. 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.

    Marsilea minuta is a native aquarium plant to Asia, where it is often found in rice paddies. Its delicate leaves are not more than half a centimetre in width. Marsilea minuta is a resilient species that is tolerant of both low lighting and high temperatures, though it does benefit from more favourable conditions. Planted in small clusters, it quickly spreads and forms a lush, compact carpet of 1-3cm in height.

    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.

    Dense and compact growth in pot as anticipated, leading to easy portioning and subsequent planting.

    In my case I was planting in a thankfully 20L Nano and started out with scissors and some long tweezers. I soon discovered that you will also need another pair of tweezers or forceps to keep the plant in place whilst you extract the other tweezers. Also a cup of your substrate to pour over the said plant before you extract the tweezers. Otherwise, because there is very little root formation on these, it will simply pop out and float to the surface. You will also need a net to remove all the leaves that break away while you are doing all of this. I bought enough to also put some in my 175L tank, but given this experience I didn’t bother. In short, in terms of ease of use and the little video produced by TMC, I think the product has insufficient root formation to make planting easy. Even if you were planting in an empty tank, I suspect that unless you add a small amount of water and leave in several days to form proper roots, they will also pop up when you fill your tank. Conventionally grown plants for me always in future.

    Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.

    Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...
