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.

Tonina Belem is a unique aquatic plant that features a vertical stem with thin leaves shooting out to the side. Found in shallow waters in the wild, Tonina Belem is an advanced aquatic plant that is not recommended for novice planted aquarium hobbyists as it has very particular care requirements. Soft water and a slightly acidic quality substrate is a must and high-quality aquarium LED lighting along with CO2 injection is required to grow this aquatic plant properly. Tonina Belem also needs a consistent dosing schedule and an ample supply of iron and micronutrients. Tonina Belem grows vertically and will produce lateral shoots if provided with enough light, but often times, most aquatic stem plant species grow at a quicker pace leaving most Tonina species susceptible to being covered, resulting in a lack of lighting received. Propagation is simple and similar to other aquatic stem plants. You can simply cut off the shoots using clean aquascaping tools and replant the cut portion back into a quality substrate.

This aquatic plant species requires patience and know-how to keep. If given optimal conditions, this aquatic plant is a beautiful addition to any planted aquarium tank and can most commonly be seen in Dutch Style planted aquariums for its unique foliage style.
