Hemianthus callitrichoides ‘Cuba’ UNS Tissue Culture

Hemianthus callitrichoides ‘Cuba’, often referred to as HC Cuba, is a popular aquatic plant prized for its lush green carpeting effect in aquariums. Originating from Cuba, it features tiny, bright green leaves densely packed on creeping stems, creating a dense carpet-like appearance when grown in the foreground of aquariums. HC Cuba is relatively demanding, requiring high lighting, CO2 supplementation, and nutrient-rich substrate to thrive. It is a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts for creating stunning underwater landscapes, especially in Iwagumi layouts. Regular trimming helps maintain its low, compact growth and promotes healthy propagation. The tissue culture format ensures sterile and disease-free plants ready for immediate use.
