Salvinia cuculata 15 pcs

Salvinia cucullata is a small floating aquatic fern known for its delicate, textured leaves that form tight, slightly cupped shapes on the water’s surface. The foliage has a soft, velvety feel due to fine hairs that help repel water, allowing the plant to stay buoyant and dry. Its color ranges from fresh light green to a deeper shade depending on light and nutrient conditions.

This species spreads gently across still or slow-moving water, creating a natural, decorative layer that adds depth and contrast to ponds, aquariums, or water features. It also provides light shade below the surface, which can help reduce algae growth and offer shelter for small aquatic life.

Easy to maintain, Salvinia cucullata thrives in warm conditions with moderate to bright light. It does not require rooting in substrate, making it a flexible choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers looking to create a more natural, balanced environment.
