✂️ Care

Ceratopteris Cornuta grows fastest with normal to high light, but also adapts to less ideal conditions. Let detached young shoots float freely or plant them in the substrate for new plants. When used as a floating plant: thin regularly to ensure sufficient light for the underlying plants.

💡 Planter's tip

Due to its coarse leaf structure, this fern provides a nice contrast with fine-leaved plants. Also suitable as a shade-providing floating plant above shy fish species.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I use this plant both rooted and floating?
Yes, Ceratopteris Cornuta grows well rooted in the substrate but also perfectly fine floating on the water surface.

What are those small plants on the leaf?
These are young shoots with which the plant propagates itself. Leave them alone until they are large enough to detach and plant independently.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
