Their small, textured green leaves float across the water's surface while their submerged roots provide extra surface area for biofilm and beneficial microorganisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalvinia can be especially useful in axolotl and shrimp aquariums because it provides shade and helps soften bright overhead lighting. It also absorbs nutrients directly from the water column, which can help support a more balanced aquarium when used alongside proper filtration and regular maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Salvinia is a floating plant, it does not need to be planted in substrate. Simply place it on the water's surface and allow it to spread naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we like Salvinia Water Spangles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy floating plant, provides natural shade, absorbs excess nutrients, creates cover for shrimp, and works well in planted freshwater aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floating\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to fast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSalvinia minima\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant care note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the top surfaces of the leaves relatively dry when possible.
