Four Leaf Clover Aquarium Plant

Marsilea quadrifolia has several names including Clover water fern or water shamrock. The plant grows with two pairs of leaflets that have an appearance of a four leaf clover. this plant can grow in a wide variety of conditions and substrates. Given the proper parameters this plant can form a thick carpet via runners. 

This species of plant thrives best using a nutrient rich soil with additional fertilization (our personal preference of Brightwell line soils can be found by clicking here). If not provided enough nutrients it can decrease the ability of this plant to spread. Inclusion of CO2 in the aquarium will increase the plants ability to grow.

*Rapid changes in tank parameters can result in the melting of the plant.
