6 bunches
1 bunch
Each bunch is like the one in my
hand above. Each bunch is weighted so it can be dropped the to the
bottom of the pond OR you may remove the weight and let it float OR
if you prefer you can pot the plant in dirt and cover the dirt with
gravel/small stones.
Hornwort is very easy to grow
and submerged plant that is bright green and
feathery. Turns almost a black color in the winter.
Not only
does hornwort provide oxygen to the water but it also provides hiding
places for the fish and a place for them to spawn (lay eggs).
Under water oxygenators also absorb dissolved materials in the
water such as fish waste. They also help keep the water clean
and clear. It is generally recommended that you place one bunch
of oxygenators per 2 square feet of surface.
Hardy to zone 5.
Hornwort can also be
used with much success in aquariums
