Marsilea Hirsuta – Australian Carpet Plant for Aquariums

Marsilea hirsuta is a unique and adaptable carpet plant originating from Australia, known for its versatility and distinctive growth patterns. Often delivered with charming four-leaf clover-like leaves, this plant can transition into various forms in the aquarium, adapting its leaf shape based on growth conditions. It may develop single, low leaves resembling Glossostigma or grow two, three, or four-lobed leaves that reach between 2-10 cm in height. Regardless of the form it takes, Marsilea hirsuta is a rapid spreader, forming runners that create a lush carpet across the aquarium substrate.
