Ceratophyllum demersum aka Common Hornwort

Common Hornwort is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Common Hornwort should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Common Hornwort prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.
