Elodea Densa Pond Oxygenating Plant Bunch (1 Bunch, 5 Stems)

Product Description

The Elodea densa (Egeria Densa)​ from South America is a bunch of popular oxygenating pond plants that can also be used in indoor aquariums. Elodea is a genus of 6 species of aquatic plants often called the waterweeds, which are probably the most well-known of all aquatic plants. Thanks to its rapid growth it is the perfect plant for dealing with algae & this stem plant is also a popular oxygenator for aquaria & garden ponds. They are highly recommended for stabilising new setups.
As with most stem plants, propagation is not complicated. Simply cut off the top or side shoots & replant them. In aquaria it may be necessary to cut the plant back often due to the speed at which it spreads.
Plants are weighted & so can be simply dropped straight into the pond. There is no need for compost
- covering base of plant with a few small stones/rocks may help it establish itself. For maximum growth the base of the plant can be placed in a small basket with aquatic compost.
