Add a natural filtration powerhouse to your planted aquarium with Salvinia Cucullata. This fast-growing floating fern develops soft green, cup-like leaves across the water's surface while its relatively short root system stays more compact than many other aquarium floaters.
Beyond its unique appearance, Salvinia Cucullata actively absorbs available nutrients from the water column as it grows, making it a useful addition to planted aquariums and ponds. Its floating coverage and dangling roots also provide added shelter for shrimp, fry, and other small aquarium livestock.
When conditions are right, Salvinia Cucullata can multiply quickly and spread across large areas of the water's surface. Regularly remove excess growth to maintain open areas for gas exchange and prevent the plants below from becoming heavily shaded.
Keep floaters away from strong water flow and provide liquid fertilizer for nutrients

Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.
From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.
We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.
Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.
