Proserpinaca Palustris
A unique stem plant with saw-toothed edged leaves. Its colors range from bright solid reds to light golden greens depending on the choice of lighting and nutrients dosed. Dosing iron will result in redder leaves. The plant is commonly used as a background plant due to its large amount of coverage - especially in Dutch style planted tanks.
Propagation is simple like other stem plants: just cut the stem and replant the trimmings.
