Ceratopteris Thalictroides grows quickly with normal to high light and adapts easily otherwise. Let detached plantlets float freely or plant them in the substrate for new growth. When used as a floating plant: thin out regularly to ensure sufficient light for the underlying plants.

💡 Planter's tip

The fine, grass-green leaf structure creates a soft, natural effect and contrasts beautifully with larger, broad-leaved plants.
