Common Salvinia - Floating Aquarium Plant
Description
Let your aquarium breathe with Common Salvinia (Salvinia natans) A fast-growing floating fern that turns any tank into a lush, natural paradise. Its velvety, bright green leaves drift across the water's surface, creating dappled shade that fish and shrimp absolutely love to hide and forage beneath.
