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.
Nesaea Crassicaulis is a beautiful aquatic stem plant that features a striking color palette when grown in optimal planted aquarium tank conditions. Similar to other species in the same family, Nesaea Crassicaulis also requires a good amount of quality aquarium LED lighting along with CO2 injection and more specific water parameters to promote lush, boldly colored growth. These factors make this aquarium plant slightly more advanced and not recommended for beginner hobbyists. When planting, Nesaea Crassicaulis should be planted in quality aquarium soil with enough space between each stem to ensure lower levels receive an ample amount of lighting as well. Lack of lighting can result in dull coloration as well as the rotting of the lower portions. This aquarium plant can also be grown in emersed conditions. When emersed, it can be easily confused for an aquarium plant in the Ammania family, but submerged conditions will produce finer narrow-leafed growth.
We recommend planting Nesaea Crassicaulis in the midground of a planted aquarium tank. The style of this aquatic stem plant would work well for a classic Nature Aquarium Style planted aquarium or in a Dutch Style planted aquarium as well. The slight variation in deep orange and bronze tones would add a lovely contrast to groups of red, magenta and green aquarium stem plants. Simple to propagate, Nesaea Crassicaulis can be treated the same as other aquatic stem plants: simply cut the stem and replant the trimmings into quality aquarium soil.
