Echinodorus bolivianus ( Helanthium bolivianum )
Helanthium ‘bolivianum’ from South America has characteristic light-green leaves 10cm long which form a good contrast to the darker aquarium plants.
It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each roset becoming 10cm wide. In good conditions it produces runners which spread over the bottom. Very light leaves are a sign of a shortage of micro-nutrients.
Tissue Culture Info
Tissue cultures are in a 5cm container - simply rinse gel and plant.
Pisces Enterprises Tissue Culture Plants have been grown in sterile laboratory conditions producing premium quality plants free from algae, pesticides and pests.
Sold in food grade plastic pots, our Tissue Culture Plants are grown in a unique nutrient rich agar jelly. Easy to sell, the plants do not require watering and will continue to grow provided they are sealed and have sufficient light.
Pisces Tissue Culture Plants will grow in fresh water aquariums, aquascapes and terrariums. Because of the wonderful qualities of these plants, they have grown, and continue to grow in popularity with Australian hobbyists.
In ideal conditions, shelf life will be approx 4 weeks.
Basic care instructions:
- Do not remove lid or contamination will occur
- Keep in well lit area
- Storage temperate should not exceed 30°C
How to Plant Tissue Cultures:
- Set up a small container or bowl with some aquarium water
- Remove the tissue culture and gel by tipping the container upside down
- Remove as many large chunks of gel either with your hand or tweezers
- Use the water to loosen and remove as much gel as possible
- Once as much of the gel has been removed, begin to plant the roots into your aquarium
- Tweezers are best used for planting - ensure the roots have been secured into soil to prevent the tissue culture from being uprooted
