Proserpinaca palustris pot plant (mermaid weed)

Proserpinaca palustris is a versatile aquatic stem plant prized for its delicate, feathery foliage that transitions from green to vibrant red hues depending on lighting conditions and water parameters. This hardy species thrives in moderate to high-light environments and adapts well to both submerged and semi-aquatic setups. Ideal for mid-ground placement, it creates natural depth and movement in planted aquariums while providing shelter for small fish and invertebrates. Easy to propagate through cuttings, this low-maintenance plant suits both beginners and experienced aquascapers seeking dynamic visual interest.
