Blyxa novoguineensis

Blyxa novoguineensis is a grass-like stem plant with bright green color and natural appearance. It's great for use as mid-ground or background plant in a nature style planted aquarium. It's only requires moderate lighting and can be easily propagated by removing the side stems and planting them, which roots and forms another plant.

Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro (literally: in the glass) in a nutrient-rich synthetic growing medium, either liquid or gel, without the presence of any other lifeforms. This guarantees a pest and disease-free specimen, while also providing accuracy throughout the trade.

Tissue culture plants should be removed from the cup as soon as possible. All plants grow on some sort of synthetic growing medium, ranging anywhere from liquid to jelly to firm gel. This should be removed and rinsed off. Gently massage the roots between your fingers until the gel dissolves away. Most plants can be broken up into smaller pieces and spread out in your aquarium. Smaller pieces are easier to plant.
