Helanthium Bolivianum
Helanthium Bolivianum is a member of the newly found Helanthium family, recently removed from the Echinodorus family after being thoroughly analyzed. While its new name is Helanthium Bolivianum, most hobbyists still refer to this aquatic plant as its former, Echinodorus Bolivianum. This aquatic plant is characterized by its light green leaves with a slender shape. Just like other rosette species, this particular aquatic plant is beautiful in groups or by itself. Propagation is also fairly simple and can be done by separating via the runners and replanting into a quality aquarium substrate.

Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro by laboratories who specialize in propagating aquatic plants. There is a huge selection of plant species that have been propagated this way. This is truly the best option for those who want absolutely zero unwanted pests, algae and pesticides. This makes them perfect for shrimp keepers and any planted tank enthusiasts alike.
NOTE: It is important to remove the tissue culture agar gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away, divide, and plant.
