Tissue Culture Plants Package [Grower’s Choice] – Premium Variety Pack

Five or ten sealed tissue culture packs, chosen by our growers. Every pack is lab-grown and sterile, so nothing arrives carrying snails, algae spores or pathogens — which is the whole reason to start a tank this way.

What You’ll Receive

• Choose 5 or 10 Random Packs: Each package includes a grower-selected mix of popular and rare tissue culture aquarium plants.
• Species Are Unlabeled: Plants are selected at random—specific species cannot be requested and packs will not be labeled.
• Size Varies by Species: Plant size and volume will vary depending on the growth habit of each species.
• Each sealed, sterile pack is approximately 4 inches in size, yielding numerous small starter plants.

Why Tissue Culture

• Sterile and lab-grown — no snails, no algae, no pathogens
• Safe for shrimp tanks and quarantine-free setups
• Each pack yields many small plants rather than one specimen
• Sealed packs keep for weeks under indirect light before you open them

Care

• Difficulty — Beginner to Intermediate across the mix
• Light — Medium suits the widest range of species
• CO₂ — Not required; the mix works in low-tech and high-tech tanks
• Substrate — Recommended for the rooting species

Grower’s Notes

• Rinse the nutrient gel off completely before planting. Left on the roots it clouds the water and feeds a bacterial bloom in a new tank.
• Divide each pack into small portions rather than planting it as one clump. A single 4-inch pack should give you a dozen or more planting units — that is where the value is.
• Expect transitional melt in the first one to two weeks. Tissue culture plants are grown emersed and shed those leaves as they convert to submersed growth. New growth follows.
• Plant the small portions closer together than feels right. Tissue culture starts are tiny, and spacing them like mature plants leaves a sparse tank for months.
• Unopened packs store well. If you can't plant them all at once, keep the sealed packs under indirect light and open them as you go.

Notes

• Species are selected by our growers based on availability and are not labeled. Specific species cannot be requested.
• Photos are for reference; species, size and volume vary with every package.
• Never release aquarium plants into natural waterways.
