SALVINIA AURICULATA – Floating Anti-Algae Plant for Freshwater Aquariums, 1-2-Grow! Format
Salvinia auriculata, also known as Salvinia natans, is a fast-growing floating fern ideal for open freshwater aquariums. Its small, oval leaves (1–3 cm wide) are covered in tiny hydrophobic hairs that repel water, making the plant highly resistant to moisture. It is an excellent natural tool for algae control, shading the water surface and efficiently absorbing excess nutrients. When provided with proper light and nutrition, it grows rapidly, offering a decorative, natural surface cover and shelter for fish and invertebrates.
Transparent leaves may indicate micronutrient deficiencies, making Salvinia a useful visual indicator for water quality. In nature, it can grow much larger, but remains manageable in aquariums with regular trimming.
The Tropica 1-2-Grow! format guarantees lab-cultivated plants free from pests, snails, pesticides, and algae, making them safe for shrimp tanks and sensitive setups. It's a perfect decorative plant that supports balance and biodiversity in planted aquariums.
