Overview:

Salvinia minima is a small, fast-growing floating plant valued for its soft, rounded green leaves and excellent surface coverage. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its compact size makes it ideal for providing gentle shade without completely blocking light, helping to reduce algae growth while creating a more natural environment for fish and shrimp. Salvinia minima is particularly well suited to breeding tanks and low-tech aquariums.

Care and Growth:

This floating plant thrives under low to moderate lighting and prefers calm surface conditions. It absorbs nutrients directly from the water column, making it helpful for reducing excess nitrates and improving overall water quality.

Salvinia minima propagates rapidly by division, producing new floating plants that spread across the surface. Growth can be easily controlled by removing excess plants as needed.

Key Features:

• Small floating plant with soft, rounded green leaves
• Provides gentle surface cover and shade
• In vitro grown—free from pests, algae, and snails
• Low light and low maintenance requirements
• Helps absorb excess nutrients from the water
• Easy to manage and fast propagating
