Proserpinaca Palustris AKA Mermaid Weed ranges from being greenish to orange-red. It is a stem plant that will grow as tall as large aquariums with a circumference of around 3 to 4 inches at full size. It has distinct serrated leaves that gives the plant leaves an attractive sawtooth look. It can be used as an stunning midground or background bush. Its large size when matured makes it more suitable for larger sized tanks. Its broad canopy means it will shade surrounding areas quite a bit.

The more light and fertilization the plant received the more red it will become. Lower light yields greener thinner leaves.
