★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

This floating fern / broad leaf water sprite has large leaves and a very distinctive appearance unlike any more common specie of Ceratopteris that is widely used in the hobby. What very few people realize, including one proclaimed expert aquatic plant forum, this plant known as Antler fern is native to the USA! It is found throughout Florida and Louisiana, and was not an introduced specie. It is also native to Brazil, Ecuador, the West Indies, China, and Southeast Asia.

The leaves consist of sterile and non sterile leaves that differ sharply in appearance: the sterile leaf is usually broad basal lobes while the fertile leaf is finely dissected into long narrow ultimate segments. Transitional leaves are deeply pinnatifid.

The plant has a short fleshy stipe- (stipe def. a supporting stalk or stem like structure that supports the petiole). The stipe in some plants is decidedly swollen.

Ceratopteris cornuta typically grows in swamps and ditches and is sometimes caught in mud flats from receding water where it will root in the mud. It can grow from partial shade to full sun and has no particular water parameter requirements. Growth is slow to moderate and it reproduces by adventitious plants. It is occasionally sold commercially as a pond plant.

You are bidding on six (6) young plants of 1" in size or greater. (These plants will grow faster than you think!) These are great for outdoor water gardens or Koi Ponds. Turtles will eat them up quickly, so it's best to avoid putting them in their tanks / ponds unless you are intentionally giving them a yummy snack!

Questions & Comments

Under 2400 credits, wins how many plants? Bids at 1200 win one, correct?

In the details above, I am simply outlining the normal price that one plant sells for, which is 12.000 credits.

This auction very clearly states in three separate places that this is for 6 plants. It's highlighting the great deal and value you get with the GIN price.

But it says we are bidding on 6 plants, and says one at 1200, 2400 credits gets 6? I'm confused!! :)

I see, thank you for explaining that!

You're welcome!

I have a 50 gal aquarium with 4 exotic goldfish...well lit (one light a aquatic plant light); would these plant work in this habitat?

These sprites should grow well in the environment. They generally grow very well in a variety of habitats including outdoor ponds, so you should be great in the contained aquarium with the goldfish.
