  • Clover-like carpeting plant
  • Easily separates into multiple plant starts
  • 100% clean with no algae, duckweed, or snails
  • Not available to be shipped to Hawaii and Alaska.

Marsilea hirsuta is a relatively easy-to-grow foreground plant that will carpet your aquarium like a field of clovers. The rounded leaves are bright green and may develop one to four lobes, depending on the environment. The plant ranges from 0.75–4 inches (2–10 cm) in height and stays shorter in medium to high lighting, which means minimal trimming is needed. Provide a nutrient-rich substrate (such as aquatic soil or a well-established, non-soil substrate) or plenty of root tabs for optimal growth.

100% Free of Pests

Tissue culture plants are "lab-grown" at the farms by taking a tissue sample from an existing plant and growing it in a sterile nutrient medium. While tissue culture plants tend to be smaller and more expensive than potted plants, they are 100% free of snails, algae, and duckweed.

We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge

We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.

I ordered 4 cups of Marsilea Hirsuta about 3 months ago and was waiting to write a review until after my aquarium was settled. The vitro cups were a really good choice for my tank. I originally started out without co2 and had these growing as my carpet plant for 2 months. They were basically the only plants that made it through cycling my tank. I'd consider them to be bulletproof carpet plants without Co2. They will come as a 4 leaf clover and once converted to submerged form will have 1 leaf and will fully root within 1-2 weeks and start spreading out to make a nice carpet. If you get a cup with questionable roots, just hang the clump in your tank from driftwood and it will grow new roots within a week. I did not need to do a dry start method with these as they rooted easily and spread without any issues. I've ordered 2 shipments of these plants on 2 separate occasions, shipped to florida in summer. I'm telling you they're bulletproof. 6 cups total have been ordered, only 1 had kinda eh roots. I've included photos of hanging them so you can see the new roots growing as well as how they look as a carpeting plant once converted to their submerged form. 10/10 for these!

I searched far and wide for this plant, only Aquarium Co-Op had it in stock. I received healthy tissue plants that worked perfectly for my new scape.

Beautiful, healthy Marseilea!

I ordered the M.H through Aquarium Co-Op because it's a hard plant to find in Texas. The delivery was on point and other than couple of few brown leaves in the cup, these plants arrived in perfect shape! I'm definitely gonna buy again from these guys, In fact I'm about to order another plants from Aquarium Co-Op

Foreground water clover (Marsilea hirsuta)

Purchased two cultures for the foreground of a 29 gallon new setup. Plants arrived in great condition even after a 5 day transit. Note, I ordered on a Thursday and Aquarium co-op suggests ordering Sat/Sun which I will be doing in the future.
Separated the cultures into multiple smaller clumps and planted in inert gravel with root tabs, easy green liquid fert, and no CO2. Only took a week for the clumps to start sending out new horizontal runners and growing vertically. Using a hygger 957 light with custom settings that I think is generating "medium" PAR. I've seen that "low" PAR will make M. hirsuta grow long and high into the water column, I want to keep it short with higher light.
Overall, the cultures I received were high quality!

Pretty awesome plants!

Bought two bunches but thinking about it. One is enough for my 10gal but got 2 just in case it dies. The plants arrived really healthy and established itself to the tank pretty well! The only downside side for me is that the roots are so short that it was hard to root it on fine gravel. It does grow really quick with some root tabs and easy green. It’s shooting out about a new root a day. Highly recommend!!

Looks like it will be a great grounscover

Cultures arrived to the west coast in four days. Plants looked healthy. The agar had liquified but I saw no negative effects. I’ve had about 1/3 of it planted for a couple weeks and it looks to be starting to take hold and grow. I just planted the rest today. Between two cups of tissue cultures I got perhaps 8 dozen or more individual plantable sprigs. I would definitely try them again.

Beautiful lil plants

This is my first step into tissue culture plants. This little cup is slap full of plants! They look very nice, healthy, and lots of roots. I removed the label for pictures, but even that was nice quality for being just a label. I will definitely be ordering other tissue culture plants to try.

This tissue culture had plenty to go around my 29 gallon tank. Planting was relatively easy in my sand/soil substrate, and most of them are looking green and healthy 2 weeks later.

generous portion of healthy plants

You receive a ton of it and it was healthy. It was enough to do a dry start planting on a 29 gallon tank.

I thought cultures would be harder then established plants. Boy was I wrong. So far out of all my efforts these have shown the most progress.

Good not great

The plant came in very good and will thrive in my tank once settled. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because there was a lot of the plant that was dead when received

Definitely legit.
