Tropica 022C Tissue Culture - Ranunculus inundatus

Tropica 022C Tissue Culture - Ranunculus inundatus is a live aquatic aquarium plant from Australia, supplied as tissue culture in a closed cup. It stays compact at 5-10 cm (2-4") tall and has deeply cut, umbrella-like leaves. It suits aquarists who want dense bottom coverage in a planted tank.

Key Benefits

• Compact growth form, unlike many other Ranunculus species and variants, which tend to grow coarse and leggy in aquariums
• Distinctive, deeply cut umbrella-shaped leaves
• Sends out many vertical runners that produce new plants
• Over time the runners build up into thick coverage across the bottom of the tank
• Medium growth rate with medium light and medium CO2 demands
• Supplied as tissue culture in a closed cup

How to Use

• Provide good lighting. This is what produces compact growth in Ranunculus inundatus.
• Long leaves can be pruned to keep the plant tidy and compact.
• Allow the runners to spread. New plants form along them and gradually fill the bottom of the aquarium.

Suitable For

• Planted aquariums where low, dense bottom coverage is wanted
• Aquascapers who want a compact Ranunculus rather than a tall, leggy one
• Tanks that can offer medium lighting and medium CO2

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall does Ranunculus inundatus grow?
It reaches 5-10 cm (2-4") in height, so it works well for the foreground and for covering the bottom of the tank.

How does it spread across the tank?
The plant sends out many vertical runners that produce new plants. Over time these form thick bottom coverage.

What light and CO2 does it need?
Both light demand and CO2 demand are medium. Good lighting also encourages compact growth.

How do I keep it compact?
Give it good lighting and prune any long leaves. Compact growth is the main trait of this species compared with other Ranunculus, which can become coarse and leggy in aquariums.
