What’s the Deal with Tissue Culture Plants?
Tiny plants. Big benefits. Zero unwanted surprises.
Grown in a Lab (On Purpose)
These aren’t your average aquarium plants.
Tissue culture plants are grown in pristine lab conditions — no pests, no snails, no algae. Just vibrant, healthy growth suspended in a sealed pot of nutrient gel that looks like dessert (but please, don’t).
Why They’re a Big Deal
- 100% algae-free — start clean, stay clean
- No snails — unless you’re into surprise hitchhikers
- Pesticide-free — safe for shrimp, snails, and sensitive fish
- Incredible value — you get heaps of plant once it’s split and planted
- Long shelf life — lasts weeks sealed in its cup (great for planning your scape)
- Small in size, big on payoff
How to Use (Don’t Just Chuck It In)
Peel the lid — it’ll feel oddly satisfying
- Rinse off the gel (do not plant the goo)
- Divide into small chunks — trust us, there’s more than it looks
- Plant using tweezers, spaced evenly across the substrate
- Watch it take off like it’s been waiting its whole life to grow in your tank
Pro tip: One pot can cover a surprising amount of space — plant wisely and it’ll spread quickly.

Great Value in Every Cup

Hygrophila corymbosa, also known as Temple Plant or Giant Hygro, is a broad-leaved stem plant with large, lance-shaped leaves. They sit a soft light green on top and can take on a warm bronze-red flush underneath in brighter light. It belongs at the back of the tank, where it fills vertical space and softens hardscape quickly.
In your tank it grows fast and forgivingly, making a dense green wall when the stems are planted in small groups. Let them bush together for a jungle or Dutch-style backdrop, or keep them trimmed lower as a midground filler. It pairs well with red stems and fine-leaved species that set off its broad leaf shape, and as a hungry, fast grower it also mops up excess nutrients while a new scape settles in.
This plant is grown in sterile tissue culture and arrives in a densely packed cup, free of snails, algae, pests and disease, with several healthy plantlets ready to split across your layout.

How to plant your tissue culture Hygrophila
- Rinse the clear nutrient gel from the base, as gel left on the roots can cloud the water or invite mould.
- Divide into small portions of a few stems each.
- Using tweezers, plant each portion into the substrate, spaced a few centimetres apart to leave room to fill in.
- Leave the roots undisturbed while it settles, then as stems reach the surface trim the tops and replant the cuttings to thicken the stand.
