Description
Additional information

Marsilea hirsuta is a versatile and hardy aquatic plant commonly used in aquascaping. Originating from Australia, this unique plant belongs to the Marsileaceae family and is often referred to as a “water clover” due to its resemblance to clover leaves. It is primarily appreciated for its adaptability and ability to create lush, carpet-like growth in aquariums.

Leaf forms vary based on conditions, ranging from single, clover-like leaves to more complex shapes.

The color is typically green but may show variations in light intensity and nutrient availability.

Spreads via runners, gradually covering the substrate.

Adaptable to both submerged and emersed conditions.

Care Requirements:

Light:
- Medium to high light levels encourage compact, dense carpeting.
- Low light can result in taller, more spaced-out growth.
CO₂:
- CO₂ supplementation significantly enhances growth and promotes a vibrant appearance, but it can also thrive in low-tech tanks.
Temperature:
- Prefers water temperatures between 18-28°C (64-82°F).
pH:
- Tolerates a wide pH range but grows best in slightly acidic to neutral water (6.0-7.5).
Substrate:
- Nutrient-rich substrates help with robust rooting and growth.
Maintenance:
- Regular trimming encourages even spreading and prevents the plant from growing upward.
