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.

Microcarpaea Minima Merrill is a rare aquatic stem plant that grows similar to Micranthemum Micranthemoides Pearlweed. It has been widely distributed throughout Asia and can be seen used in some of the top aquascapes. Microcarpaea can be kept as a foreground plant with frequent trimming or as a mid to background plant depending on aquarium size. If left untrimmed, this aquatic plant tends to grow bushy with small needle-like leaves that will add a touch of bright lime green to planted tanks. We recommend that Microcarpaea Minima Merrill be planted in an already established planted aquarium as it has a tendency to melt and wither if stable water parameters are not present.
