Care Tips: Proserpinaca palustris, also known as "Mermaid Weed," is a beautiful and colorful stem plant often chosen for aquascaping. When purchased in tissue culture form, it arrives free of contaminants and pests. This plant thrives in medium to high lighting, where it develops vibrant red and green hues. CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization are recommended for optimal growth, as it can become leggy in low-nutrient conditions. A nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs support strong root development. Trim the plant regularly to encourage a bushy growth pattern and remove any excess length. It is an excellent addition to midground or background areas, creating a focal point with its striking colors and intricate leaf structure. Proserpinaca palustris is ideal for Dutch-style aquascapes or natural layouts where it can contrast with other plant textures.
