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.

Hydrocotyle Leucocephala is a unique aquarium plant that offers vine-like growth and floating bright green, lily-like leaves. Relatively undemanding, Hydrocotyle Leucocephala is similar to other Hydrocotyle species but typically tends to be on the larger side making it suitable for larger planted aquarium tanks or pond-style planted setups. This aquatic plant is easy to keep and is a great beginner plant due to its ability to adapt to a wide range of aquarium parameters. CO2 injection is not required but aids immensely in promoting lush, bushy growth. Growth is also quick and trimming will need to be done to keep it maintained.

cool plant

"Love this plant, but still haven't figured out the right conditions for it. It ends up rotting and dying pretty quickly. I have some in my terrarium that is lasting a bit longer, but still not what I'd like."
