Description

Marsilea have become some of the most popular foreground plants in the hobby. Their ease of growth and steady propagation make them more popular than the similarly-leaved Glossostigma elatinoides.

Marsilea species are relatively undemanding and can be grown in moderate lighting with a regular fertilizing regimen. Higher lighting and carbon dioxide injection improve growth rate and promote more compact growth. Emersed growth is possible in very moist soil and they grow four-lobed leaves similar to those of four-leaf clovers.

Take one to two-inch sections of rhizome and plant them in the substrate at regular intervals. Propagation is straightforward, as new rhizomes and leaves form from the planted sections. There is often an extended adaptation period for submersed-grown stock, but once the plants are established, growth is steady. Any leaves on plants that have grown completely emersed or floating should be removed; new leaves of the latter formed after planting should be clipped. After a short time, no more will be produced.

The sale is for 8 nodes of submersed Marsilea (1-3 leaves per node) Shipping is $7 by Priority Mail (2-3 days), live arrival guaranteed for domestic shipment. My paypal is snail_chen@hotmail.com.
