Azolla

Best for floating on the surface of the water in aquariums.

 

Azolla is a genus of seven species of aquatic ferns in the family Salviniaceae. The plants are small, only a few centimetres across. Azolla is a productive plant and grows in abundance. Their roots hang in the water. It can form 30cm (11 inches) thick mats and cover 100% of the surface water. It has many small, scale-like leaves, overlapping each other, this prevents local insects and amphibians from reaching beneath. Azolla looks nothing like other typical ferns, more resembling duckweed or some mosses. They cannot survive winters with prolonged freezes. A blanket won’t help, so it is grown as an ornamental plant in warmer conditions where it can enjoy partial shade or full sunlight. It is not tolerant of salinity.

 

Sent in a small snap lock bag roughly a handfuls amount.

Azola not doing well

I had to contact you about it not arriving and manager apologized for not communicating at the time which I appreciated.
I think it was in the mail for too long as despite it being in a trough which is not used by stock anymore, it is really not growing much at all. quite alot of the green leaves had turned brown and now sunk.

Frustrated

There must have been piece of duckweed in the bag as I now have an aquarium overrun with the stuff and hardly any azolla. Every week I have to clear off 2/3 of the surface cover so my betta can get to the surface.
