Tropica In Vitro Blyxa japonica

Tropica In Vitro Blyxa japonica

100% sterile laboratory aquarium plants in sealed cups.

Blyxa japonica originates from nutrient-rich waterholes, swamps and slow-flowing rivers in South and Southeast Asia.

The plant became famous through the aquarium work of the late Takashi Amano in the 1990s.

Blyxa has a distinctive, grass-like appearance and moves easily in the circulating aquarium water, creating a sense of dynamism compared to other, more robust plants.
