Hottonia Palustris ‘Water Violet’ – Tissue Culture
The Hottonia palustris ‘Water Violet’ is a stunning aquatic plant known for its delicate, feathery foliage and lush, bright green coloration. A native of European slow-moving waters, this plant creates a beautiful, soft-textured backdrop in aquariums, paludariums, and even ponds. Its finely divided leaves sway gently in the water, providing a natural hiding place for fish, shrimp, and fry while enhancing the overall aesthetics of any planted setup.
Grown in sterile tissue culture, this plant is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and algae-free, ensuring a healthy and clean start for your aquarium or pond. Unlike traditionally grown plants, tissue culture specimens arrive with strong, young growth, ready to establish an active root system and thrive in water environments.

The Water Violet arrived quickly and looked healthy. The leaves are very fine and spread out nicely in my 10-gallon tank. My betta fish has started using the foliage as a hiding spot. Easy to plant and grows well with minimal care.
Andrew Hughes –
I’ve tried several aquatic plants before, but this one stands out. The tissue culture method means no pests or diseases. It grows fast and adds a soft, natural look to my paludarium.
Sam Metcalfe –
The plant looks beautiful and has adapted well in my pond. I didn’t expect it to grow so quickly. A little more light helps it spread, but it’s very resilient.
