Marsilea hirsuta gives you a true carpeting plant for the foreground of a planted aquarium, with runners that help it spread and cover open substrate over time. It suits anyone setting up a low, foreground ground cover, including those newer to planted tanks. You get a pack of three cups of the plant in 1-2-Grow! format.
Marsilea hirsuta is a carpeting aquarium plant that arrives looking like a miniature four-leaf clover, then transitions into one of several different leaf shapes as it settles into your aquarium. It suits the foreground of a planted tank, where its spreading growth habit helps cover open substrate as runners establish across the aquarium floor. You get a pack of three cups of the plant in 1-2-Grow! format, the only format currently listed for this product. After the initial transition period, it may settle into a low form with single leaves similar to a larger Glossostigma, or develop two-, three- or four-lobed leaves instead. Final leaf height lands anywhere between 2 and 10 cm, depending on your lighting, substrate and other growing conditions, so the look can vary from one setup to another. Once it takes hold, it continues to send out runners and spread round the aquarium, gradually filling in bare foreground space on its own.
