Tropica 1-2 Grow Salvinia Minima (auriculata)

Salvinia auriculata is a common floating fern that grows 1-3 cm in size. It needs plenty of nutrients and light to grow well. If the leaves look pale, it may mean that the plant needs more micronutrients.

Salvinia can block light from reaching plants at the bottom. The leaves of Salvinia have small hairs that make them water resistant. In an aquarium, Salvinia helps stop algae from growing by shading parts of the tank and using the nutrients in the water. In the right conditions, it can grow quite large and looks attractive in open aquariums.
