The Marsilea angustifolia, commonly known as Narrowleaf Four-Leaf Clover, is a unique carpeting plant that brings a delicate, clover-like appearance to the foreground of freshwater aquariums. With its fine stems and narrow four-lobed leaves, it resembles miniature shamrocks dancing in the current. Its soft, grass-like texture creates a natural meadow-like effect that’s perfect for aquascapes focused on subtle detail and flow.
Offered in a tissue culture cup, this plant is grown in sterile conditions, free of pests, algae, and snails—making it perfect for shrimp tanks and pristine planted setups. It establishes slowly but steadily and benefits from CO₂ injection and good lighting for dense, horizontal growth.

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.
