Golden Lloydiella
You get: 9 stems
Golden Lloydiella (Lysimachia nummularia “Aura”) is a very hardy, attractive stem plant with golden-green leaves. It can thrive in low-tech setups as long as it has moderate to (preferably) high lighting. As it matures, itcan grow to an impressive height that is very suitable for the background of the aquarium. There are many variants of this species, and the golden/aura variant is known for its lvibrant coloration. While Golden Lloydiella naturally grows emersed, it is very adaptable to long-term submersed conditions. In addition to being an excellent aquarium plant, it is also ideal for paludariums and terrariums.Golden Lloydiella is an easy plant to maintain. It does not require CO2 supplementation, though it will certainly benefit from it. It will look its best under moderate to high lighting and will be sturdiest under high lighting. Due to the thin texture of its leaves, Golden Lloydiella is not suitable for aquariums with destructive animals such as crayfish, large cichlids, or goldfish.
Like most plants, Golden Lloydiella will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, nitrogen, and other plant supplements. It actually requires a relatively high level of nutrients and will begin to yellow if it is undernourished. However, it is a rather resilient plant and its high nutrient consumption will contribute greatly to limiting algae growth.

Hygrophila ‘Araguaia
You get: 12 stems
Good Light and C02 required
This Hygrophila was named after the Brazilian river Araguaia in trade, however, later on it was identified as the Asian species Hygrophila lancea. Under water it grows lineal reddish-brown leaves with a lighter-coloured central vein. Its stems have a creeping growth habit, ramify well and form low bushes. It needs a good CO2 supply. Trimming the leaves maintains the bushy form. Hygrophila lancea “Araguaia” needs intensive lighting, and in contrast to most other Hygrophila species it is a rather slow grower. Usually it is sold in its emerged form and differs very much from the underwater form, which develops after it has been placed in the aquariumSKU: n/a -

Limnophila sp. “Vietnam”
You get: 16 stems
Limnophila sp. “Vietnam” – delicate plant is a great discovery for aquascaping. Given that it is under intensive light it develops creeping well-ramifying 3 to 4 cm wide shoots, which makes it a great ground cover. Dense populations grow higher after some time, comparable to the much slower-growing Staurogyne repens. With L. sp. “Vietnam” you can create dense bushes that can be kept in form by regular trimming. This plant is especially well-suited for “mountain” layouts, e.g. creeping down a hill or as light green accent between rocks and driftwood. Its decorative appearance is enhanced by its very narrow, pointed leaves growing in whorls and the star-like shoot tips. Under strong light, the central veins of the leaves and the stems can assume a reddish hue.SKU: n/a -

Ludwigia Inclinata
You get: 14 stems
Stems of this species can easily reach the surface of a 24 inch-tall aquarium in under a week (if the water column is fertilized regularly), where they will continue to grow beneath the surface, forming many lateral shoots. The plant will then have little interest in forming shoots further down its length and should be trimmed.SKU: n/a -

LUDWIGIA INCLINATA VAR. VERTICILLATA ‘CUBA’
You get: 6 stems
Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata ‘Cuba’ (formerly Ludwigia sp. ‘Cuba’) is a beautiful, showy, large stem plant which grows both submersed and emersed in swamps on the Isle of Youth, a small island off the southwestern coast of Cuba. Although having ovate, green leaves typical of the Ludwigia genus when emersed, this stem plant develops long, narrow leaves marbled with red and orange highlights when submersed. Despite its unique appearance, it is but one of many geographical variations belonging to the species Ludwigia inclinata, all of which are united into one species due to the fact that they all bear the same large, yellow flower. L. inclinata var. verticillata ‘Cuba’ was recently introduced to the hobby thanks to the efforts of the Tropica aquatic plant nursery. Although still uncommon in the trade, it should become significantly more popular and common in the future.SKU: n/a -

LUDWIGIA SENEGALENSIS
Ludwigia senegalensis is relatively new to aquaristics. Its interesting leaf pattern, together with its brick red colour, discerns it from other stem plants. It first became known as
You get:12 stems
Ludwigia sp. “Guinea” in the hobby. Apparently it was imported from Guinea, however, this is not verified information. L. senegalensis is rather widely distributed in Africa – from
Senegal to Angola to the Sambesi river in northern Sambia – and it is found emerged and submerged in various wet places up to a height of 1100 m above sea level.Ludwigia senegalensis is relatively new in the hobby. Its interesting leaf pattern, together with its brick-red colour, distinguishes it from other stem plants. It first was introduced as Ludwigia sp. “Guinea”. This name hints at its being imported from Guinea first, however, information is scarce. L. senegalensis is rather widely spread in Africa – from Senegal to Angola and to the Zambezi river in northern Zambia – where it grows in different wet locations, emersed and submersed, up to a height of 1100 m above sea level.
When cultivated emersed, the plant develops a creeping growth habit, whereas its submersed shoots grow upright.As breathtaking as this plant may be, it needs some things for optimal growth. First and foremost, it needs a lot of light and should thus not be placed in the shade or in poorly lit areas of the aquarium

Rotala ‘Vietnam H’ra’
You get: 12 stems
Rotala ‘H’ra’ has rather narrow leaves and an overhanging or creeping growth. It is probably a variation of Rotala rotundifolia and has much resemblance to Rotala sp. ‘Green’.High light levels, good fertilization and added CO2 will induce almost exclusively creeping growth and a warm, rich orange coloration. This makes it possible to create a dense, orange mid-ground cushion or even an unusual, orange foreground carpet.

Rotala sp. “Nanjenshan”
You get : 16 stems
Rotala sp. “Nanjenshan” is a fine-leaved plant with a very bushy growth habit. It comes from Taiwan, where it has only been found in one single location near the town of Nanjenshan. With its millimetre-thick lineal leaves it reminds a lot of Rotala wallichii, but unlike the latter, it is of a light green colour, sometimes with reddish shoot tips. Under lots of light, horizontal to overhanging lateral shoots will form. It was erroneously called “Mayaca sellowiana”, although there is no connection with this Mayaca species. It may look a bit like it, but it is not related. The plant grows to a wide bush when the conditions are favourable. The bushy growth habit can be greatly enhanced by trimming. Rotala sp. “Nanjenshan” grows best under relatively strong light and the addition of CO2.SKU: n/a -

Plant info
Type: Stem Origin: Cultivar Growth rate: Medium Height: 5 – 10+ Light demand: Medium CO2 : Medium How to plant your tissue culture plants:
- Remove plant from packaging
- Rinse and wash away any gel/liquid
- Divide plant into 6-8 portions
- Plant directly into your substrate
Each pot has a diameter of 60mm. All tissue culture plants are free from snails, algae and pesticides. The cups can be kept for a relatively long time before planting (sometimes weeks) meaning you can plant when you are ready. Keep in a cool place, sub 20 degrees and out of direct sunlight. Tissue culture plants are young plants with strong roots and are in much better health than their potted versions. Only open cups before planting to avoid contamination. CO2 and good fertilization will promote healthy growth.
