Common Name: Velvet Water Spangles
This plant is grown in our own tanks. Salvinia cucullata is a less common floating plant with small nickel sized leaves filled with pouches of air. Unlike other similar floating plants, Salvinia does not have long roots that drape into the water column. This small floating fern can grow into thick mats that cover the entire top of the tank and block out light from below. Its perfect for low tech aquariums and paludariums and can act as a good shading plant to prevent algae growth. Great for open top aquariums, palidariums and ponds!
This plant comes in a small portion cup.
Salvinia cucullata
A relativly easy to maintain plant that will do well in low light and CO2. Of course the addition of CO2, lighting and maintaining adequite nutrients will defenitly benefit the plant. Make sure the plant does not block too much light as plants underneath in the water need it. Simply remove some of the plants and discard appropriatly.
