Description

Four Floating Plants, One Great Deal


BEFORE BUYING OR MESSAGING ME QUESTIONS:�Please read all the information in all 3 panels of this ad�(Details, Shipping, Payment). � Clicking Buy-It-Now�means that you agree to all the terms stated here. �

15% Discount�Customer Loyalty Offer: If you've ordered from me before, I want to reward you for choosing my offers�again. �You'll see a 15% discount on your invoice for your sales total (all items combined), not including shipping. �

About this item: Please note, this is a BUY IT NOW offer, no bidding necessary.

You will receive: 2�Medium Purple Root Water Hyacinths, 3 Water Lettuces, 5 Frogbits, and a half-cup of Water Spangle.� All of these will reproduce and not compete with one another too much.� --Note in first photo, I keep mine all together.� Learn more about these beautiful species below.�

Purple Root Water Hyacinth�(Eichhornia medusaepurpura). �

�Their name means 'Purple Jellyfish Plant' and you can see why. �This plant is too cool for words. �It was first cultivated�just a few years ago�by�a Chinese biology team�for pollution cleanup (it devours nitrates and even�toxins like heavy metals). �It reproduces only moderately fast (1/3 as fast as its�invasive cousin, the Common Water Hyacinth). �For some reason, the new Frankenversion also has roots that look like they were soaked in indigo! �(Roots vary�from lavender to vivid purple to near-black, depending on water chemistry and nutrients; I'm still experimenting with that). �The leaves are rich�green, some slightly variegated, and oh--yeah it produces gorgeous lavender flowers also. �Babies sprout off from "arms" of the�mothers. �This plant�must float--the leaves�cannot be submerged. These don't need any fertilizers; they seem to thrive on fish waste or nothing at all, but may grow faster and brighter with ferts.

Water Lettuce: Beautiful from above and below, and the roots make great a great fry refuge. �Baby lettuces bud off from the 'Mama' pretty rapidly. �Needs a decent tank light or sunlight.��

Water Spangle�(Salvinia minima). �1-cup portion. �These little floaters reproduce by budding off, with each mature plant possessing several pea-sized leaves in a cluster. �The speed of their reproduction can vary a lot, by sunlight. �In a tank with basic lighting they spread slowly (you may feel like removing some monthly�or so), but in an outdoor pond, they will cover the entire surface in a matter of days. �This can be great for keeping your water cooler in summer, but if you don't like the coverage, they are much easier to remove than duckweed. �Speaking of the 'D' word, water spangle seems to have a lust for out-competing�a duckweed population like it's a sport. �For that reason alone, I love this plant. �Must float, no anchoring.�

Frogbit�(Limnobium laevigatum).�� Similar in many ways to dwarf water lettuce, but with deeper, shinier green leaves, and longer roots. �Another good hiding place for little fish! �These grow almost as fast in a tank as a pond, and are very unfussy about chemistry, temperature, etc. �Mine lived all winter in outdoor shallow containers. �Must float, cannot be anchored.

I guarantee NO duckweed hitchhikers!� You will get these from many other plant suppliers and all it takes is one micro-plant of duckweed to start a problem that is hard to eradicate.��


Shipping is FREE for this offer. �I will ship the package�on the next Saturday after your win. �Saturday shipping rocks--you'll almost definitely get your box Monday. �


EASY PEASY: I will email�you an invoice and you can pay via debit, credit or Paypal. �Make sure to enter the�address where you want your package sent. �I print shipping labels directly from paid invoices, not from Aquabid or email.�

Regarding payment delays: �Message me BEFORE BIDDING, not after, if you think you would be unable to pay immediately upon receiving the invoice. �It's not about getting your money in my hands, it's about getting faith that I can go ahead and prepare your plants�for shipping, buy�your�shipping label�and pack your box�according to plan. �
