Hottonia Palustris (Hottonia palustris 'Water Violet') - Tissue Culture

The Hottonia palustris 'Water Violet' is a stunning aquatic plant known for its delicate, feathery foliage and lush, bright green coloration. A native of European slow-moving waters, this plant creates a beautiful, soft-textured backdrop in aquariums, paludariums, and even ponds. Its finely divided leaves sway gently in the water, providing a natural hiding place for fish, shrimp, and fry while enhancing the overall aesthetics of any planted setup.

Grown in sterile tissue culture, this plant is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and algae-free, ensuring a healthy and clean start for your aquarium or pond. Unlike traditionally grown plants, tissue culture specimens arrive with strong, young growth, ready to establish and thrive in your setup.
