Dwarf Four Leaf Clover is an excellent, undemanding foreground carpeting plant that is great for beginners and experts alike!
Dwarf Four Leaf Clover (Marsilea hirsuta) is a very undemanding foreground plant that has much lower care requirements than the majority of carpeting plants in the hobby. This hardy, slow-growing plant is native to Australia.
For short vertical growth and carpeting effect, Dwarf Four Leaf Clover requires moderate to high lighting. It will grow taller vertically under low lighting. It does not have to be pruned often unless more horizontal growth is desired. It will also benefit from CO2 supplementation, but this is not required.
This listing is for the tissue culture form of Dwarf Four Leaf Clover. Tissue cultures are superior to traditional forms of aquarium plants in many ways. They are produced in a completely sterile environment which eliminates the possibility of them carrying pest snails or algae spores. They have a shelf life of several months if properly maintained and they are housed in a nutrient gel until introduced to the aquarium. To introduce a tissue culture plant to the aquarium, simply rinse off as much nutrient gel as possible, then plant as usual. The nutrient gel will not harm your aquarium.
Like most plants, Dwarf Four Leaf Clover will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, nitrogen, and other plant supplements.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
