CULTIVATED TO PERFECTION
TISSUE CULTURE AQUARIUM PLANTS BY ULTUM NATURE SYSTEMS
â‘
Free of algae, pests and pesticides
Tissue culture aquarium plants are cultivated in a closed, sanitary laboratory to ensure quality control. Cultivation via in-vitro methods eliminates the possible the disruption of natural eco-systems from wild aquarium plant harvesting.
â‘¡
Divide and conquer
A single cup of tissue culture aquarium plants yields more and offers more coverage in the aquarium. Depending on the species, tissue culture plants are typically more generous than their potted counterparts!
â‘¢
Plenty of choices
The availability of species is growing rapidly. Many popular aquatic plant forms and species are now readily available and we are adding to our catalog every year.
