Care Tips: Isoetes vetata var. sicula, also known as the Mediterranean quillwort, is a unique and slow-growing aquatic plant. It is adapted to low light conditions, making it ideal for aquariums with subdued lighting. It prefers cool water temperatures and thrives in a nutrient-rich substrate. This plant requires a stable environment and is sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters. Its growth is slow, and it forms dense tufts of grass-like leaves that add a distinct texture to aquascapes. Isoetes vetata var. sicula does not require CO₂ injection but will benefit from occasional root fertilization with nutrient-rich substrates or root tabs. It is perfect for foreground or midground placement, adding interest to your aquascape with its unique appearance.
