Potamogeton Crispus
Add interesting texture to your planted aquarium with Potamogeton Crispus, commonly known as Curly-Leaf Pondweed. This aquatic stem plant features translucent, dark green leaves with distinctive wavy edges, creating a slightly ruffled appearance reminiscent of Bolbitis foliage. Its adaptability to lower lighting, cooler temperatures, and even slightly brackish water makes it a versatile option for a range of aquarium setups.
Potamogeton Crispus can grow rapidly, developing tall stems and dense foliage that provide excellent background coverage. In higher-light aquariums with supplemental CO2, regular trimming is necessary to manage its growth and prevent it from crowing out surrounding plants.
Please Dispose Responsibly: Potamogeton Crispus is considered invasive in many parts of the United States and may be restricted or prohibited in certain states.
Never release this plant, its trimmings, or aquarium water containing plant fragments into natural waterways, ponds, or storm drains. Always collect unwanted plant material, including small fragments and reproductive buds, and dispose of it securely in household trash. Do not compost or discard it outdoors. Responsible aquarium keeping helps protect native aquatic ecosystems.

About Our Live Aquatic Plants
Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.
From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.
We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.
Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

About Our Tissue Culture Plants
Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile, laboratory conditions, ensuring they are free from pests, algae, and snails. These young plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich gel and are grown in emersed form before being introduced into the aquarium.
Tissue culture plants are best for aquascapers looking for clean, controlled plant material, especially for shrimp tanks or sensitive setups. Before planting, the gel media should be gently removed, and the plant can be divided into smaller portions for planting.
With proper care, tissue culture plants transition quickly and establish into healthy submerged growth.
