Proserpina Palustris [Mermaid Weed]
Description:
Mermaid Weed, Proserpinaca Palustris, is truly unique with its striking leaf structure and vibrant color, which can change so dramatically depending on the lighting conditions. In moderate lighting, it will sport green serrated leaves, but with brighter lighting, it becomes completely different, even sporting delicate, hair-like leaves in shades of orange to red. This contrasting coloration and texture have made this a favorite among aquascaping enthusiasts for adding unique visual interest to the aquarium.

Aquascaping Pro Tip:
