Care Tips: Ceratopteris thalictroides is a fast-growing aquatic plant that is well-suited for larger aquariums. It thrives in medium to high lighting conditions and benefits from regular fertilization and CO₂ injection, although it can still grow in non-CO₂ tanks. The plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels and requires a nutrient-rich substrate for best growth. It has a vigorous growth rate, so it will need regular pruning to prevent it from overshadowing other plants in the tank. Water Sprite can be grown as a floating plant or rooted in the substrate, but it often looks best when its roots are anchored in the substrate while its leaves float above the water surface. It can also help with water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, making it beneficial for preventing algae blooms in your aquarium.
