Tropica Marsilea hirsuta CUP

The Marsilea hirsuta is a carpet-like plant that has leaves that resemble a clover. It adds the look of a meadow to the aquarium. After an acclimatization period, this interesting variety of fern develops different leaf shapes depending on the conditions. Either the fern chooses a low shape with simple leaves, or it forms leaves of different heights divided into two, three or four parts. It grows to a height of between 2 and 10 cm. Whichever form the dwarf fern chooses to grow into, it spreads slowly and steadily through its runners. The larger the plant, the sooner it forms an attractive carpet. It is not a very demanding plant - all it needs is enough light and clean, clear water.

• Light requirement: medium to intense
• Optimal temperature: 18 to 28 ° C
• Water values: tolerant - regular water changes
• pH: 5 to 7.5
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: recommended
• Propagation: stolons, division, separation from daughter plants

Note: The plants in the cups are grown in a lab. Aquatic plants grown in an in vitro culture are sterile and therefore suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. In vitro plants do not carry any stowaways such as snails or parasites, and no pesticides are used.
