Water Wisteria Carpet

Because of its size it makes the perfect addition to the mid ground or rear of an aquarium.

Water wisteria carpet.

I tried to plant them and they just float back up. With hundreds of different freshwater aquatic plants to choose from you may be wondering what s so special about water wisteria. Water wisteria hydrophila difformis is a freshwater plant from the acanthaceae family it s. However i ordered water wisteria and wasn t aware that it wasn t going to have roots when it arrived.

One special benefit of this plant is that it has multiple uses. You might be able to get some sort of carpet effect with guppy grass maybe. But even though water wisteria is an easy plant to care for you should educate yourself before getting one. It looks great is easy to care for and provides a number of benefits to your tank.

Right now i ve got them loosely tied in bunches floating at the top of the tank hoping they will sprout some roots because they won t hold in the sand right now. Many species of fish love eating its leaves because of its nutritious value. It can also be used as a carpet plant if it is placed on its side and rooted in place. The leaves are too large and the space between nodes is far too long for this to work.

Rugs form a thick dark green coating that illuminate the bottom of the storage tank. I can t imagine any way to grow wisteria that would result in a carpet. Water wisteria is a fantastic plant option for freshwater aquariums. This will cause the leaves to only grow on the side facing up and will provide a carpet effect at the front of the aquarium.

Water wisteria can either be rooted in the sediment or even spread all over the substratum surface area as a carpeting. When spread like a carpet at the bottom of a fish tank water wisteria can provide a home for bottom dwelling fish such as loaches. It can be rooted normally planted as a carpet or even used as floating vegetation. It can be grown as hedge and the stems don t mind being buried.

It can be grown as a plant that is rooted in the sediment or it can be allowed to spread across the substrate as a carpet.
