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.

Glossostigma Elatinoides is another popular low-growing aquatic plant that is commonly used as a foreground carpet in planted aquariums. Glossostigma Elatinoides, typically referred to as Glosso for short, is one of the easier foreground carpeting aquarium plants to grow and doesn't require extensive experience to keep. Like most carpeting aquarium plants, Glosso's growth is improved with the addition of CO2 injection, nutrient-dense aquarium soil, and a source of nutrients from aquarium plant fertilizers. Glossostigma Elatinoides may be planted in a low-tech aquarium as well. However, it should be noted that it will take much longer to spread and has the tendency to grow upwards to reach for lighting sources if levels are insufficient. Once established, Glosso is a prolific grower and will require periodic trimming.

Ordered two, one DOA and the other missing

"Ordered two, only received one which was in very rough shape and looked nothing like what healthy glosso looks like. GA was responsive to my inquiry though and refunded me the cost of both units, which I appreciate."
