Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) Aquarium Plant
Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) is one of the most versatile and reliable aquatic plants available, prized for its excellent oxygenating ability, fast growth, and adaptability to a wide range of environments. Supplied in a pack of 4 EU-grown plants, this hardy species thrives in aquariums, ponds, and even large outdoor water features. Because it can grow to significant depths and handle various water conditions, Hornwort is a favourite among aquarists and pond keepers alike.
Naturally a free-floating plant, Hornwort can be left to drift or gently weighted to keep it in place. Its finely textured foliage, resembling a bushy fox’s tail, adds movement and natural beauty to any aquatic setup. Beyond its visual appeal, Ceratophyllum is an exceptional nitrate remover, helping maintain clean, healthy water with minimal effort. Maintenance is simple—just remove excess growth as needed.
Hornwort also provides excellent cover for fry, shrimplets, and shy fish, creating a safe and comfortable habitat where small aquatic life can thrive. With medium growth and low demands, it is an ideal choice for beginners and experienced aquascapers looking for a dependable, high-impact plant.
