Mermaid Hygro (Proserpinaca Palustris)
Mermaid Hygro (Proserpinaca Palustris) LIVE AQUARIUM PLANT
Proserpinaca Palustris Mermaid Weed, also known as Saw-Tooth Hygro, has the potential to make a dramatic statement in any tank in which it is planted. Its leaves start out a vibrant green color with choppy, serrated edges. When allowed to grow under high-intensity lighting, the leaves will become more bristle-like, resembling tiny, delicate combs. Additionally, the leaves will gradually change from just green to a variety of pink and golden hues. This plant will certainly add a pop of color to your tank!
This plant is considered moderately difficult to grow and maintain, so it may not be ideal for beginning aquatic plant enthusiasts. If kept under insufficient lighting and/or water lacking in nutrients, Mermaid Weed tends to shed its leaves. Carbon dioxide injection is highly recommended for this plant to truly thrive.
Mermaid Weed grows at a moderate to slow pace, so pruning does not need to be done too often. When needed, this plant should be pruned and propagated much like other stem plants. The plant grows in shoots that can be trimmed and replanted into your substrate. The vibrant tops of the stems can be cut off and replanted to spread the colorful parts of the plant around. The stem bottoms can be thrown out or left in the substrate to give the plant a bushier texture.
