A little peek at our plant nursery - where the magic happens!

[ABC Plants @abc_plants]

Did you know we now have over 40 different plant species available to our customers? We're continually expanding our range so let us know what you'd like to see in the future!

Why buy tissue culture plants? Well for one, our plants are algae and pest free, reducing the likelihood of annoying algal blooms in your tank. This aquascape (by @dviauaquascaping ) was set up 6 months ago using our tissue culture plants, and the water is still clear as day!

We just added a new carpeting plant to our range: Glossostigma elatinoides. One of the more challenging varieties, but rewarding too! Available now at https://t.co/LvZSJoYiOm

[ABC Plants @abc_plants]

Now available: Alternanthera reineckii "Cardinalis"!
This beautiful red toned plant is an excellent option for adding a pop of colour to the midground of your tank.

New plant: Rotala Vietnam H'ra! This lush red plant is a great addition for mid- or back-grounds, and it's also a bit of a creeper... making it's way laterally throughout your aquascape. Available now through our website!

Hemianthus callitrichoides (var. Cuba) is one of the world’s smallest aquarium plants with just millimeter-sized leaves. It is a low carpet variety that requires bright light and pressurized carbon dioxide injection to thrive. Available at https://t.co/LZ7jHMlCOk!

[ABC Plants @abc_plants]

Our low-tech testing tank helps us determine which species thrive in low light environments.

Sneak preview: Littorella uniflora. They're fairly slow growing but fingers crossed they'll be ready for our customers soon! What other plants would you like to see in our store?

[ABC Plants @abc_plants]

A major reason aquarists opt to use tissue culture plants in their tank, is because they offer greater peace of mind to those who keep rare and fragile species, Crystal Red Shrimp, for instance. TC plants do not come with the risk of harmful contaminants, such as pesticides.

One of our explant tanks! In order to create our tissue culture cups, we first must clean and culture clippings from healthy mother plants. It can take some time to get it right, but in the meantime, we get to appreciate this wonderful view!
