The rounded leaves are bright green and may develop one to four lobes, depending on the environment. The plant ranges from 0.75–4 inches (2–10 cm) in height and stays shorter in medium to high lighting, which means minimal trimming is needed. Provide a nutrient-rich substrate (such as aquatic soil or a well-established, non-soil substrate) or plenty of root tabs for optimal growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMarsilea hirsuta\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative To:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAustralia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foreground \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium Light 20-35 PAR (click to see our PAR chart)\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred Fertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy Root Tabs and Easy Green liquid fertilizer\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spreads via runners across the ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Being a natural product, the plant appearance can vary from what is shown.***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Plant Marsilea Hirsuta\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Insert each plant start or clump into the substrate using planting tweezers or your fingers so that the roots are completely buried but the leaves are above the substrate.\u003cbr\u003e4. Once the plant has become well-established, you can trim the tips with plant scissors for a tidier look.\u003cbr\u003e5.
