Schismatoglottis Prietoi Tissue Culture
Schismatoglottis Prietoi Tissue Culture
Schismatoglottis prietoi is a compact rhizome plant with narrow, deep-green leaves in a lightly hammered texture, closely related to and grown much like Bucephalandra. Attach its rhizome to hardscape rather than burying it, and it’ll grow slowly and steadily in low to moderate light. This tissue-culture cup arrives pest-free and ready to mount.
Care level: Easy-Moderate · Placement: Epiphyte (on wood/rock) · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Slow · Propagation: rhizome division

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.
