Category: Aquarium Plants

Proserpinaca is a stem plant, 10-40 cm tall and 5-10 cm wide. 


Cultivated in closed cups and delivered with saw-toothed leaves, which after a transitional period in the aquarium develop into long, finely denticulated, needle-like leaves. 


In good light conditions it turns a beautiful copper colour and its characteristic appearance is a pleasing contrast to the other plants. 
Proserpinaca palustris varies in form according to its origin. The Tropica cultivar is found on the Isla de la Juventud off Cuba. In the USA the plant is commonly known as "mermaid weed''.

Penelope ★★★★★

The closed cup packaging kept it perfectly intact during shipping, and the saw-toothed leaves are already showing new growth after just a week in my tank. It's settled in nicely as a mid-ground accent, and the transition to the longer leaf form is starting to happen right on schedule.

Charlotte B. ★★★★★

Those saw-toothed leaves really caught my eye when I first planted it, and within a week they’d already started changing into the longer, more delicate form I was hoping for. It’s been growing steadily ever since, filling out the midground nicely without taking over the tank.

Claire ★★★★★

Took about two weeks in my tank before the new leaves started showing that classic feathery look, but the transition was smooth and it's already grown a good 5 cm. The cup packaging kept everything intact during shipping, and the stems are sturdy enough to plant directly without any melting.
