Common Name: Water Hyssop, Moneywort
Moneywort is a popular back or mid-ground stem plant with pairs of light green leaves sprouting from base to tip. This tissue-culture cup is grown in-vitro under sterile lab conditions, arriving free of pests, algae, and snails. Hardy and does not require CO2 injection, though it prefers a nutrient-rich environment and moderate light.

Care & Planting: Rinse tissue-culture gel off before planting, then split into individual stems and plant into the substrate.
A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
