Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Salvinia Cucullata is an interesting floating fern that features cup-like leaves that display a soft green hue. Like other Salvinia species, Salvinia Cucullata is relatively undemanding and easy to keep. When compared to other commonly known floating aquatic plants, Salvinia Cucullata's root system is quite small and will not reach down into the aquarium tank with potential to tangle aquatic stem plants, obstruct decor or aquascape layouts.
Salvinia Cucullata propagates rather quickly and will easily cover the entire surface of a planted aquarium tank if left unmaintained. Because of this, care should be taken to regularly prune this aquarium plant to ensure aquatic plants below are not shaded from essential lighting. Salvinia Cucullata and other aquatic floating plants, in general, also provide your planted aquarium tank with another source of natural water filtration as the roots help absorb excess nutrients in the water keeping the environment clean and safe for fauna. Floaters are also great for providing a valuable refuge for smaller aquatic life and can help skittish fish feel safer, sometimes minimizing jumping risks.
