Description

�

PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION & TERMS BEFORE BIDDING Shipping to contiguous 48 states only, (CONUS, not AK, HI, or PR). � Tropical Hornwort, Ceratophyllum submersum This auction is for a dozen plus stems of Tropical Hornwort (I have been shipping 18). This is not the commonly available hornwort, Ceratophyllum demersum. Tropical hornwort, also known as Soft Hornwort is... softer. The form is similar but Tropical hornwort is bigger, fluffier and does not feel like you filled your tank with branches from a spruce tree. The stems will be 4 to 6 inches, there will NOT be any old growth that will shed and make a mess. The winner may be offered to double the auction, both stems and ferts, for only $10 with no change in shipping (if enough is still available). This plant should be left floating, it never grows roots and doesn't like being bunched and weighted. If left alone this plant will align itself vertically which looks really cool. On the surface it looks feathery. � � Grows fast too, look what a big handful of 3" stems I added to a 10G did in 12 days with only one light bulb. The whole top half of the tank becomes safe for those valuable fry! � � � � Tropical Hornwort will grow in quite low light, it just won't be as full or grow as fast. For best results give it over 1WPG. This plant does not need fertilizer to grow but with light ferts I get a few inches of new growth each week. INCHES.EACH.WEEK. So I am ALSO going to include some of the fertilizer mix I use, enough to treat 500Gs (or 10Gs fifty times). You will have tons of this plant very quickly. It is NOT Miracle-Gro (do you know what's in that? ahk!) or any other repackaged product meant for terrestrial plants. �It's a lot more comprehensive than Leaf Zone and infinitely cheaper than the SeaChem line. Safe for fish and inverts. �And most of all, nitrate-free. If you just want to try the ferts, use this button. I started growing this again last year when a friend wanted large amounts of fast growing plants for fry cover. It's a little more work than guppy grass but it really does look great. Now I am using it again for tanks with livebearers which are more predatory towards their fry. It's harder for the adults to dart through, in fact they tend to not want to swim in it at all. Tangling can be prevented by just snipping long pieces into smaller lengths every few weeks. This beautiful plant is rare in the hobby because is fussy about how it is shipped. I can't just put it in a sandwich bag, it needs to be in water. If you don't believe me look at THIS. The fairest way for me to do this is to include the costs for the packaging materials in the auction price and you just pay the exact postage for 2 pounds as the shipping cost. Hot destinations will require Hold for Pickup so look at your forecast before bidding and email if you have questions. Hot conditions in the Northeast may delay shipment. � Questions? Click for email. � � Term details are on my Just Me page which was updated January 18th 2013. Read it before bidding. Payment is by PayPal only, no e-checks. When paying with PayPal, you must use a shipping address. If you want shipping to an Unconfirmed address, email before bidding/buying to discuss this. Shipping is postage for 2 pounds from 01888, $5.32 to $9.88. You can check that cost yourself at usps.com, it will be much faster than asking me for a quote, use the online price, not the post office price. Hold for Pickup & Insurance (+$1.95) required at 90F and up. I ship to PO Boxes if it's a confirmed address. LAG for 3 days if >30F and <85F. Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs. Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
