Tissue culture plants are lab-grown aquatic plants cultivated in sterile conditions to ensure they are free from pests, algae, and diseases.

Each pot comes packed with multiple plants. To add tissue culture plants to your aquarium, gently rinse off the gel.

You can then place the plants together into your aquarium substrate, or if you like, you can carefully separate the plants to spread throughout your tank.

Ensure proper lighting and nutrients for growth, and make sure your tank doesn’t contain fish who love to nibble live aquarium plants.

(Not that there’s anything wrong with snails) Snails can be very beneficial to an aquarium ecosystem.

Tissue culture plants have an extended shelf life, allowing flexibility in your aquascaping projects.

Their freshness and vitality remain intact, even if planted a few weeks after purchase.

This gives you flexibility in your aquascaping. Do not open them, keep them in a cool, light place (not direct sunlight, not the fridge) and plant them before they become overgrown.

Planting tissue culture aquariums is easy! You can wash off the jelly with clean dechlorinated water and gently separate the plants. Using your fingers or Aquascaping tweezers (link to Aquascape tools collection) gently plant the plantlets into your substrate.

With their compact size and well-developed roots, tissue culture aquarium plants quickly adapt to your aquarium substrate, making them perfect for beginners and professionals alike.

Occasionally, TC jelly will grow mould. This is not harmful. Just wash the jelly away and plant the plants underwater as soon as possible. Don’t open the lid until you are ready to plant as it will introduce bacteria and spores that may grow mould and fungus.
