Salvinia oblongifolia
Entity overview
For discovery, Salvinia oblongifolia keeps floating growth behavior separate from floating placement metadata.
Taxonomy data places it in genus Salvinia, family Salviniaceae, order Salviniales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Care data interpretation
The care profile combines easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
The plant profile allows for emersed growth.
Planning tool: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Water conditions in the profile cover temperature 24–28 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–21 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
Related calculator: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The profile gives nutrient targets for nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
