Broad fern fronds at 50cm — equal-tallest in the range alongside the Butterfly Palm, but with a wider, heavier leaf. It is a background plant for tall tanks, and a strong choice for the wet end of a paludarium where the fronds break the waterline.
Fifty centimetres is a lot of plant. In a standard 45cm-high aquarium the top will foul the lid. Check the internal height from substrate to lid before you order, not the external dimensions on the box.
Features
- 50cm — equal-tallest in the range
- Broad fronds — more visual mass than the Butterfly Palm at the same height
- 240g — stays seated in normal flow
- Aquarium or paludarium — designed to work either side of the waterline
- No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it
Care
Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.
Worth knowing
Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
