Simply place Salvinia minima on the water surface — the plant floats naturally. Regularly remove excess plants to prevent the surface from being completely covered and other plants from receiving insufficient light. No substrate or CO₂ needed.
💡 Planter's Tip
Ideal in combination with shrimp or small fish that like to hide under floating plants. Also helps reduce algae growth by absorbing excess nutrients.
