Marsilea Hirsuta Tissue Culture
Marsilea Hirsuta Tissue Culture
Marsilea hirsuta is a charming carpeting plant that spreads by runners, often producing tiny four-leaf-clover foliage across the foreground. It stays low and undemanding, growing well even in modest light, though it fills in faster with CO2. Supplied as clean, pest-free tissue culture.
Care level: Easy-Moderate · Placement: Foreground · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Beneficial · Growth rate: Slow · Propagation: runners

When it ships
Most non-quarantined stock goes out the week you order. If we do not already have the animal in-house we source it first — allow up to two weeks for it to reach us. Live animals leave Monday and Tuesday, and Early AM Overnight is the only service that carries a live arrival guarantee.
The live guarantee
Shipped Early AM Overnight: a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery, and nothing beyond it. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Local pickup or local delivery: 24 hours, if you bring a water sample from your aquarium and we test it before the animal goes home. Maintenance clients: 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month, 28 days on a monthly plan.
