Product details

The Marsilea hirsuta is a versatile, low-growing aquatic plant that is commonly used in aquascaping for creating carpets. It is known for its ability to produce different leaf shapes depending on the conditions, ranging from simple clover-like leaves to more complex forms. This adaptability, combined with its dense, spreading nature, makes it a popular choice for foreground planting. Grown in-vitro, this plant is delivered free of pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean and healthy start for your aquarium.

Key Features:

Versatile Leaf Forms: Marsilea hirsuta can develop a variety of leaf shapes, from single leaves to clover-like forms, depending on lighting and environmental conditions.
Excellent Carpet Plant: This plant is ideal for creating a dense, vibrant green carpet in the foreground of aquariums, offering a natural, meadow-like look.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, Marsilea hirsuta is free from snails, algae, and harmful pathogens, making it safe for immediate introduction into your tank.
Low Maintenance: This hardy plant is suitable for low- and high-tech aquariums, making it perfect for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

Care Requirements:

Lighting: Marsilea hirsuta thrives under medium lighting conditions. In higher light, the plant tends to remain more compact and produces a denser carpet. Lower light conditions may cause the plant to grow slightly taller.
CO2: While CO2 is not strictly necessary, it is recommended for faster growth and more compact carpeting, particularly in high-tech aquariums.
Water Parameters: This plant is adaptable and thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH range of 5.5-7.5 and temperatures between 20-28°C. A nutrient-rich substrate will support optimal growth.
Trimming: Regular trimming is not required but can be done to control its spread and maintain a neat carpet. Removing older or decaying leaves helps keep the plant healthy and vibrant.

Planting Tips:

Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting.
Divide the plant into smaller portions and plant them evenly across the substrate for faster coverage.
Ensure good lighting and nutrient-rich substrate to encourage the plant to spread and form a dense, lush carpet.
