Description

YOU'RE BIDDING FOR ONE HEALTHY PLANT OF WATER SPRITE (8~10" tall) in FLAT SMALL BOX SHIPPING RATE via USPS for $5.50. Common Name: Water Sprite Proper Name: Ceratopteris thalictroides Category: Stem Plants Temperature: 20 - 30 C PH: 5.0 - 8.0 Lighting: Low Growth Rate: Very Fast Difficulty: Easy Origin: Asia Tropics Watersprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) is also known as Water Fern and Indian Fern. Its native habitat is still or slowly moving waters in tropical regions around the globe. Watersprite has been a popular aquarium plant since the early 20th century and is still one of the most commonly utilized aquarium plants due to its sturdiness, fast growth rate and ease of propagation. It will also bind a lot of organic waste and release plenty of oxygen into the water. Watersprite a versatile plant that can be planted in the substrate, anchored to aquarium decoration, or left floating on the surface. Watersprite can grow taller than 60 cm and is somewhat similar to the Chrysanthemum plant. The leaves are soft and of an emerald green shade. The exact color will depend on how much light your aquarium receives. This plant can grow up above the surface and the leaves will then become brittle and quite fleshy. This can be compared to the big, pliable leaves that grow below the surface. One of the reasons why Watersprite is so popular is that it will grow planted as well as unplanted. If you want to keep it planted, you can use a pot or plant it directly in the aquarium substrate. If you have digging fish, you can instead anchor Watersprite to rocks, driftwood or other types of aquarium decorations. Anchoring is however far from mandatory since Watersprite can float on the surface, thereby dimming the light and providing great cover for shy fishes.
