Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
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.

This specific Lagenandra is a rarer aquarium plant. Hailing from Sri Lanka, it develops upright slender leaves. The leaves feature a unique dark green base with a glimmer of silver sheen which differentiates it from other Lagenandra. Because of its slow growing nature, Lagenandra Thwitesii tends to remain small for quite some time. A fully grown mother plant will grow about 17 inches in height and is recommended for either the mid or background of an aquarium depending on tank size. In addition, Lagenandra Thwitesii tolerates higher temperatures ranging from 75 to 82 fahrenheit. It is also very suitable for emersed paludarium setups and other forms of jungle-like environments where tropical humidity can be replicated. It can be propagated by cutting the strong creeping rhizome. When grown out of water, this plant will also develop fluorescent red and burgundy coloration.
