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 and thrive in your setup.

Pro Tips:

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
