Live Hornwort Aquarium Plant, Fresh-Cut Rootless Stems for Floating or Background Freshwater Growth

Add fast-growing green cover to a freshwater aquarium with fresh-cut Hornwort stems. Ceratophyllum demersum grows without roots, so the stems can float freely or be tucked into background decor.

Aquarium Plants Factory supplies approximately two to three loose-cut stems. The captured care profile identifies Hornwort as a beginner plant for low-to-medium light, without required substrate or added carbon dioxide.

Key Features

• Rootless stems can be floated or positioned in the background.
• Fast growth provides dense fine-leaved aquarium cover.
• Low-to-medium light range suits many freshwater setups.
• No substrate is required because the plant feeds from the water column.
• Added carbon dioxide is not required according to the captured care profile.
