Salvinia Cucullata, is a floating aquatic plant that reproduces very quickly and has a fast growing rate. Coming from Central and South America, this plant is beneficial for any aquarium as it consumes ammonia and nitrates while providing shade and shelter for smaller top dweller fish, and fry.
Salvinia Cucullata has green cup-like leaves and will form a 'carpet' on the surface of your aquarium.
Salvinia Cucullata is somewhat hard to find but a great option to substitute the more common Salvinia Minima.

You have got to be kidding me!! The plants are so small, they arrived yellow and in no way fit for a pond.

Very nice will be buying again
I've purchased this twice now and my neo shrimp love hiding in the roots. The first one is kinda of dying, not sure why but the roots are still growing so I I think it just needs to bounce back. I have higher hopes for this newer clump I got for my second tank.
The best condition of plants I've gotten so far from either online or in store. These were a little more effected from the journey than the others and haven't bounced back as much, but I'm still happy and have my fingers crossed. Shipping seemed to have gotten lost/delayed but when I messaged them, I got a response within an hour or so. Seller was very professional and helpful and shipping was immediate. They include a card for follow up instructions as well. Definitely will shop here again. I'm very pleased!
