Ceratophyllum Demersum - submerged

8 plants 7-15 cm

Ceratophyllum Demersum is a very fast growing plant. It has no roots, so it can be attached to any substrate or left on the water. Popular aquarium plant. It can also be used in ponds. Each detached piece of stem gives rise to a new plant. Strong lighting is suitable, but diffused. Otherwise, the shoots may disappear and the plant will produce overwintering buds. The leaves of the plant purify the water well, collecting dirt particles on the feathery leaves, which is why it can be used by aquarists as a natural filter. The Hornwort is the perfect addition for shrimp and fish keepers, providing them with the perfect shelter.
