A small, hardy carpeting fern suited to the front of planted freshwater aquariums. It helps form a dense, low mat that keeps growing even in poor light and high temperatures, so it's forgiving where fussier foreground plants might struggle. Supplied in 1-2-Grow! format, it's planted in small bundles that spread naturally via offshoots.
Marsilea minuta is a small carpeting fern that grows naturally in rice fields, which helps explain why it copes so well with poor light and high temperatures that most other foreground plants find difficult. Planted in small bundles, it spreads via offshoots to form a dense, low mat across the front of the tank.
The carpet typically settles at around 1 to 3cm high, with leaves rarely wider than 0.5cm, keeping the finished look fine and even rather than leggy. It roots and anchors itself firmly into the bottom layer as it establishes.
It's rated medium difficulty rather than easy. The plant survives in modest conditions, but better light and water quality noticeably speed up growth and help it fill in more fully.
This listing is supplied as a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups, ready to split into small bundles and plant out into the substrate.
