Hornwort is a popular, beginner-friendly aquatic plant known for its lush, feathery foliage and rapid growth. Ideal for both freshwater aquariums and outdoor ponds, hornwort provides excellent cover for fish and fry while helping to maintain water quality. It naturally absorbs excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates, making it a powerful ally in algae control and a natural water clarifier.

Why Hornwort is a Great Addition to Any Aquarium:

🌿 No Rooting Needed
Hornwort is a true free-floating plant—it doesn’t require planting in substrate. It can be left to float at the surface or anchored with a weight, making it incredibly versatile for various tank setups.

🌿 Water Purification
By absorbing nutrients from the water column, hornwort helps reduce nitrate levels and suppress algae growth, promoting a healthier and more balanced ecosystem.

🌿 Fish & Fry Shelter
Its dense, brush-like foliage offers ideal hiding spaces for fry, shrimp, and small fish, reducing stress and increasing survival rates in breeding tanks.

🌿 Cold & Tropical Tank Friendly
Hornwort thrives in a wide range of temperatures and light conditions, making it suitable for tropical aquariums, coldwater tanks, and outdoor ponds.

🌿 Low Maintenance
Fast-growing and undemanding, hornwort requires minimal care. It doesn’t need CO₂ or special lighting, making it perfect for beginner aquarists.
