Its slender, grass-like green leaves form a compact group, spreading steadily by short runners to build a lush, natural-looking lawn across the front of the aquascape. Plant individual plants 2–4 cm apart and they will fill in over time, creating a soft, flowing carpet that works beautifully in planted community tanks, nature-style layouts, and shrimp setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis listing is for tissue culture, grown in sterile laboratory conditions and supplied in a sealed cup. It arrives free from pest snails, algae, and unwanted hitchhikers, making it a safe choice for shrimp tanks and clean new setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Tissue Culture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTissue culture plants arrive clean, young, and vigorous. Because they are grown in sterile gel, there is no risk of introducing pests or contaminants to your tank.

If it outgrows its spot, relocating it can help bring its growth back under control, and regular trimming of the tallest leaves keeps it tidy. If you are planning a low foreground, keep an eye on it as it ages and be prepared to move or thin it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the aquarium it sometimes sends a long flower stem toward the surface, and small white flowers open just above the waterline, a charming bonus for open-top tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll community fish, shrimp, and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for planted community tanks, nature-style aquascapes, and low-tech setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well in shrimp tanks, where the dense, grassy growth gives shrimplets cover and grazing surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49445432361182,"sku":null,"price":14.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/2-35.png?v=1794687857","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/sagittaria-subulata-tissue-culture-tropica","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
