IMPORTANT: Our bunched and potted aquarium plants may vary in growth forms. Because of this, please understand how to properly transition and acclimate plant(s) into desired form(s). We do our best to thoroughly clean and inspect all plants prior to shipment but cannot guarantee lead bunch or potted plants to be free from snails and/or algae. Not your thing? Please consider purchasing tissue culture aquarium plants! 

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

LIVE PLANTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO STRESS AND DAMAGE FROM TRANSIT - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Glossostigma Elatinoides is another popular low-growing aquatic plant that is commonly used as a foreground carpet in planted aquariums. Glossostigma Elatinoides, typically referred to as Glosso for short, is one of the easier foreground carpeting aquarium plants to grow and doesn't require extensive experience to keep. Like most carpeting aquarium plants, Glosso's growth is improved with the addition of CO2 injection, nutrient-dense aquarium soil, and a source of nutrients from aquarium plant fertilizers. Glossostigma Elatinoides may be planted in a low-tech aquarium as well. However, it should be noted that it will take much longer to spread and has the tendency to grow upwards to reach for lighting sources if levels are insufficient. Once established, Glosso is a prolific grower and will require periodic trimming.
