Tropica Salvinia auriculata CUP

Small-eared floating fern is a fast-growing floating plant belonging to the floating fern family. It plants open aquariums and breeding tanks. The plant also takes on a filter and habitat function: it removes excess nutrients from the water (active algae prevention) and, thanks to its root-like, finely divided underwater leaves, offers young fish in particular numerous hiding places. The plant is considered annual and reproduces independently by breaking up naturally - there is no information about this species as a permanent aquarium plant.

• Light requirement: low, but sufficient (according to grower 0.5 watt / litre)
• Optimal temperature: adaptable
• Water values: very adaptable
• Nutrient supply: adaptable, CO2 demand as well
• Multiplication: by breaking apart (by itself)

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
