Schismatoglottis prietoi is a relatively new plant to the aquarium hobby that looks like anubias but has softer leaves and prefers to be planted in substrate. Its almond-shaped, green leaves grow to 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) long and have wavy edges. This compact species is easy to care for and does well in low tech planted aquariums. Once they become well-established, they develop a dense root system and have a faster growth rate than your typical anubias.
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.
Cups Protect Plants in Shipping
Tissue culture plants have been optimized for long term storage. From the day that they are cultured, these plants are designed to stay in cups for months. This makes them especially forgiving during transit when they are in a box on their way to your home.
This plant was really healthy, and is thriving in my aquarium. It hasn’t melted and there were 3 or 4 separate bunches in there!

Schismatoglottis review
This is a beautiful little starter plant. The plant arrived healthy with leaves erect and an extensive root ball. I have had it for at least a month and there has been no melting at all, and it is now putting out runners. The bright green really pops on my black substrate.

Very healthy looking tc plant, but...
I received this plant at 5:30 pm on a 92 degree day. The container was extremely warm when I opened the box..My fault I guess for not ordering a cold pack. I thought they were automatically included as with other online stores. Also, since this is tc I knew to expect a very small plant. It has very healthy leaves and a great root system!, however a lot of leaves are intertwined with the roots. They don't have much of a stem. There was no way to bury the roots in the substrate without burying a lot of leaves also. I pulled out as many leaves as I could, but the roots are now only partially buried so the leaves won't disintegrate under the substrate. I'll do my best by this little plant, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope for it's survival.

Cute!
Arrived in great condition. The gel-like substance on the roots rinsed off quickly & easily. Planting was also easy (in small gravel) and even though it's only been two days or so, looks like it will start to thrive shortly. Really nice looking "shrub".

Amazing service
We order a lot of plants at once for our first planted aquarium. With all the information on the website we were able to pick the right plants for us and when we went to plant them we referred to that to know where and how to plant them. We with be ordering from aquarium co-op again for sure. We also watched a lot of Cory’s videos for guidance.

Don’t order during summer months!
My poor little plant culture was dying during the 5 days it took to ship. I didn’t realize they were coming from Kentucky (I’m on the west coast), otherwise I would’ve waited until cooler weather to order. I tried to save what I could of the culture and plant it in my tank but it was covered in white film the next day so I knew it was unsalvageable. The plant looks so cute in pictures, though, so I will order again when it’s cooler with my store credit.

Great Tropica product as usual
Love this plants, it’s growing fast already. I stick with Tropica TC’s any time I can. Coop TC’s seem really fresh.

Great as always.
This plant melted back and I’m hoping to see some new growth soon. This wasn’t the first plant purchase from Coop, won’t be the last. Thanks Cory and team. It’s always a pleasure.
