Every Aequor plant is raised from a few millimetres of meristem tissue
on sterile gel, then sealed in the cup it ships in. Nothing lives in the
vessel except the plant — no snails, no planaria, no algae and no
pesticide residue.
The plantlets arrive small, soft and light green. That is normal for
in-vitro growth: they firm up and darken within three weeks under
aquarium light.
