Uncommon Helanthium Bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' Tissue Culture (around 8 TC plants)

(Information written by Aquarzon based on actual growing experience, observations and research. Please do not copy any information or photos) 


Each tub usually contains around many individual small plants (roughly around 8 plants) which presents great value.

These are tissue-cultured aquatic plants.

Helanthium Bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' is a fast-growing bright green aquarium plant that is non-demanding.

Aquarzon recommends this at midground region as it grows to around 10-15cm height. It can also be used as a background plant in smaller tanks or as a foreground plant is large tanks.

In the past, as it has some similarity to Echinodorus, it was thought to be a dwarf Echinodorus / Sword species but it has been botanically reclassified  and placed in the Helanthium genus some years ago.

While this plant is common in many countries, it is not very common yet in Australia, especially more so for tissue-cultured ones as of 2023.

Advantage: Pest and snail-free. Each tub has many individual small plants.
Disadvantage: Some melting usually occurs when transitioning from tissue culture state to aquarium conditions.
