Care Tips: Marsilea crenata, often referred to as the "clover plant," is a low-growing aquatic plant that forms a lush carpet in the foreground. It’s perfect for low-tech aquariums due to its low lighting requirement. It can thrive in nutrient-rich substrates, and regular trimming helps keep it dense and healthy. CO₂ supplementation will encourage more robust growth, but it is not strictly necessary. This plant adds a unique clover-like appearance to aquariums and is ideal for aquascapes where a softer, natural look is desired.
