Limnophila aquatica, commonly known as Water Fern, is a striking aquatic plant valued for its finely dissected leaves that create a lush and textured appearance in aquariums. The plant features bright green foliage that can create a beautiful contrast with other plants in the tank. Ideal for midground to background placement, Limnophila aquatica can provide shelter for fish and enhance the overall aesthetics of the aquarium. This plant is moderately easy to care for but requires specific water conditions and good lighting to thrive. While it can grow without CO2 supplementation, adding it can significantly boost its growth rate and improve leaf coloration. With moderate to high lighting, Water Fern flourishes, contributing to a vibrant aquatic environment.

Crustacean Safety Notice: Aquatic plants may have been exposed to pesticide treatments that can be harmful to shrimp, snails and other crustaceans. If your aquarium contains crustaceans, we recommend soaking plants for 24 hours before introduction in a solution of 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda per 1 litre of water, ideally under lighting.
