RANUNCULUS INUNDATUS

Ranunculus Inundatus is a low growing aquatic plant that originates from Australia.  It is a Stolon type stem plant that creeps horizontally by sending runners along the substrate to form new plants  Individual stems can be trimmed along the horizontal shoots and replanted directly into the substrate.

High lighting and Co2 injection is necessary to keep this plant low growing.  Vertical growing thin stalks are an indication of lack of lighting while yellowing leaves can mean nutrition deficiency.  Thin leaves can also hint at a lack of Co2.  This plant can grow quickly and require regular trimming when kept under proper conditions. 

This plant can grow submerged or emersed in dry start aquariums and Wabi Kusa.  

Remove tissue culture gel before planting.  Simply wash the gel away or soak the plant in water and squeeze the gel off with your fingers.
