MARSILEA HIRSUTA – Versatile Carpet Plant for Aquarium in 1-2-Grow! Cup
Marsilea hirsuta is a fascinating and polymorphic carpet plant from Australia, appreciated for its remarkable adaptability to various aquarium conditions. Initially, it displays small clover-like leaves, but over time, depending on light intensity, CO₂ levels, and nutrients, it may develop different leaf shapes, including Glossostigma-like forms or leaves with two, three, or four lobes, reaching heights between 2 and 10 cm. This leaf variability gives the plant a dynamic, natural appearance, perfect for evolving and creative aquascapes.
Cultivated in sterile Tropica 1-2-Grow! cups, Marsilea hirsuta is completely free from snails, algae, and pesticides, making it safe for shrimp, fish, and other delicate tank inhabitants. It spreads quickly through horizontal runners and anchors easily to the substrate, forming a dense and decorative carpet that can be used in both the foreground and midground, depending on its growth form.
