Schismatoglottis prietoi Tissue Culture – Rare Red-Bronze Aquarium Plant
Schismatoglottis prietoi is a rare and striking red-brown aquarium plant prized for its compact growth habit and vibrant coloration. The tissue culture version ensures a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free start, making it perfect for sensitive shrimp tanks and high-quality aquascapes.

CO₂ & Nutrients: CO₂ injection and iron-rich fertilization promote faster growth and vibrant colors.
Placement: Ideal for midground or background; plant in groups for a fuller, lush appearance.
