Utricularia graminifolia Tissue Culture – Delicate Grass-Like Carpet Plant
Utricularia graminifolia, commonly known as UG, is a fast-growing foreground carpeting plant with fine, grass-like leaves that create a lush, bright green lawn in freshwater aquariums. The tissue culture version ensures a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free start, ideal for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, or high-tech planted setups.
Native to Southeast Asia, Utricularia graminifolia naturally grows in shallow, nutrient-rich waters along riverbanks and rice paddies. In aquariums, it forms a dense, low-growing mat that spreads horizontally, adding natural texture to foreground areas.
Lighting: Medium to high light is recommended for compact growth and vibrant green coloration.
CO₂ & Nutrients: Benefits from CO₂ supplementation and nutrient-rich substrate for rapid carpeting growth.
Placement: Ideal for foreground carpeting; plant in small clumps spaced a few centimeters apart for even coverage.
Water Conditions: Thrives in 68–80°F (20–27°C), pH 6.0–7.0, soft to slightly acidic water.
Maintenance: Trim occasionally to encourage horizontal spreading and dense carpeting.
Pest-, algae-, and snail-free, safe for sensitive aquariums and shrimp tanks.
Lab-grown under sterile conditions for optimal plant health.
Ships in sealed cups with nutrient gel — rinse and plant directly.
No quarantine required before introduction.
Creates a lush, bright green carpet for foreground aquascapes.
Fast-growing and easy to propagate from cuttings.
Shrimp-safe and enhances natural aquarium aesthetics.
Adds soft texture and depth to planted tanks.
