Ceratopteris Thalictroides - Water Sprite bunched
Ceratopteris thalictroides is a pantropical fern that grows to 15-30 cm high and 10-20 cm wide..
This plant grows fast, but the addition of CO2 may be necessary to promote growth. In shallow, open top aquariums, it can grow out of the tank and form beautiful surface leaves. The finely branched leaves are very decorative and provide good contrast to other leaf shapes. In good light Ceratopteris thalictroides grows fast and helps prevent algae by consuming large amounts of nutrients. This makes it a good starter plant in small aquariums.
This is a bunched plant - we will send you 4 stems bunched with aquarium weight, we advise you to split the stems and plant them individually a few CM’s away from each other, leaving them bunched may encourage stem rot, root entanglement and nutrient starvation. During transport it is normal for some leaves to fall from the plant, after adjusting to its new home these leaves should regrow quickly and colour up, any immediate concerns please take a photograph upon arrival and use the ‘Contact us’ page to email us. We always provide updated images of current stock in each listing so please ensure you view these before purchase. We advise with all live plants to use a next day delivery option to ensure they are not out of water and in heat/cold for an extended period.
