SALVINIA AURICULATA – Fast-Growing Floating Tropical Fern for Aquariums and Ponds
Salvinia auriculata is a floating tropical fern native to South America, known for its rapid growth, easy care, and exceptional nutrient absorption capabilities. It effectively removes excess nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates, helping to prevent algae growth. This makes it ideal for the early stages of aquarium setup and biological stabilization.
The plant’s hanging roots offer shelter for fry and an excellent resting place for Betta fish. Its compact leaf structure creates a natural surface cover that reduces light penetration and provides a sense of security for shy or surface-dwelling species. In garden ponds or outdoor containers, it thrives in warm, sunny conditions.
Adaptable to medium or high lighting, Salvinia auriculata is a low-maintenance, decorative floating plant that enhances water quality while contributing to a natural aquatic look.
