Product Details

A floating plant ideal for a natural aquarium

TROPICA - Salvinia minima - In vitro

Native to several regions of the world, Salvinia minima is an aquatic fern that thrives by floating freely on the surface of the water. It consists of small, oval leaves covered with a thin layer of hydrophobic hairs that repel water. Thanks to this unique system, it always remains dry on top and floats perfectly.

This plant is ideal for open aquariums, where it forms an attractive green carpet. It filters the light , which is perfect for fish and plants that prefer a shadier atmosphere. It also helps reduce excess nutrients in the water, thus limiting the growth of unwanted algae.

Easy to maintain and fast growing

Salvinia minima floating plant

Salvinia minima is a fast-growing aquatic plant that can quickly cover the water's surface under favorable conditions. Given sufficient light and nutrients, it proliferates rapidly and may require regular pruning to prevent it from completely blocking the light of submerged plants.

This floating fern also provides excellent shelter for certain fish, particularly bettas and colisas, which use its leaves to build their bubble nests. If its leaves begin to turn pale, this may be a sign of micronutrient deficiency, which can be corrected with appropriate supplementation.

How to properly use Salvinia minima in vitro?

Sold in in vitro culture, Salvinia minima is free of parasites and algae, ensuring a clean introduction into the aquarium. Its installation is simple:

Remove the plant from its cup.
Rinse thoroughly under water to remove the nourishing gel.
Divide into several portions and spread over the surface of the aquarium.

It is compatible with most aquariums and does not require a CO2 system to grow properly.

An asset for the balance of your aquarium
