Tissue culture plants are grown in vitro from a state of the art laboratory specialized in propagating aquatic plants. They provide the best option for those who want to ensure that absolutely zero unwanted pests are introduced into the aquarium. Remove tissue culture gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. For instructions on how to properly plant tissue culture aquarium plants, click here.
