Proserpinaca Palustris

Proserpinaca palustris, commonly known as “mermaid weed,” is a unique and visually stunning aquatic plant prized for its delicate, serrated leaves that can vary from green to orange and even red, depending on the light intensity and nutrients provided. The leaves start off with a finely serrated appearance in submerged form, giving the plant a feathery, fern-like texture that adds interest to aquascapes. In emersed form, the leaves are more typical in shape and less serrated.

This plant requires good care to maintain its color and growth, thriving in moderate to high light environments with consistent CO2 supplementation. When properly cared for, Proserpinaca palustris adds a dramatic, vibrant splash of color and texture to aquascapes, particularly in contrast with plants with broader leaves.

Care Tips:

  • Keep water temperature between 18-28°C and a pH range of 5.5-7.5 for optimal growth.
  • High lighting is essential to bring out the red and orange tones in the plant, though it can still thrive in medium light with slower growth and greener leaves.
  • Regular CO2 supplementation is recommended to help the plant maintain its vibrant coloration and promote healthy growth.
  • Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent lower leaves from withering due to shading from the top leaves.

Ideal Placement in Aquarium: Proserpinaca palustris is best used as a midground to background plant, depending on the size of the aquarium. Its finely serrated, colorful leaves make it a standout feature in any aquascape, and it pairs well with green stem plants or carpeting species for contrast. It is an excellent choice for adding both texture and a pop of color to high-tech aquariums, where its unique foliage can be fully appreciated.
