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.

Barclaya Longifolia is an uncommon aquatic bulb plant. When it sprouts, this aquarium plant puts out long red leaves that can become quite large and is a sight to see when paired with bushes of colorful aquatic stem plants. Barclaya Longifolia does not require high light and CO2 injection, but growth will slow and color is less vibrant and more of a bronze tone. Whenever possible, we highly recommend planting it in planted tanks that utilize quality light, CO2 injection and a regular dosing schedule of essential fertilizers. The difference that will result will be very noticeable and the plant will reveal healthy leaves that are a deep maroon hue.

Reviews

Out of stock, unfortunately

"I have been hunting the true wine-red variety of this plant for a long time. It was a stock aquarium plant when I was a kid, some 45 years ago, it was growing well under incandescent bight and we were propagating it by rhizome cuttings and sharing with each other. Unfortunately, it has become a rarity nowadays. I was glad I found it at GlassAqua and it was in my cart for a few days, but unfortunately has become Out of stock at the time I made the purchase. Not sure why they request a review for an item I was never able to purchase. Probably a glitch in the web store software backend."

So happy with my Barclaya Longifolia - bulbs

"This was my first order with Glass Aqua. So far something like 2 weeks now and both bulbs are still tiny but slowly developing leaves and growth. Since this is relatively a rare aquatic plant I am very happy with what I have. The price was reasonable and quick delivery, properly packaged too! Will buy again for sure - Thank you"
