Proserpinaca palustris originally comes from Cuba. Its leaves grow strongly pinnate and are orange-red to green in colour. Since it does not grow particularly fast, this plant is very suitable for small aquariums. Although this plant is not too difficult to care for, an additional supply of CO2 should not be missed to facilitate growth and let it really shine in color.
