## Overview

Oxygenating Hornwort is a cold-hardy aquatic plant featuring 6 slender, forked stems per bunch that oxygenate pond water, control algae, and provide essential shelter for fish. Easy to use and propagate, it thrives in water depths from 1 to 10 feet and withstands winter conditions down to USDA zone 5, making it an ideal low-maintenance solution for enhancing pond health and clarity.

## Description

Submerged plant with whorls of delicate forked leaves on slender stems. Excellent oxygenator, Hornwort can be floated in the pond bottom or planted in a shallow pot of gravel to anchor in the desired location. Use in ponds and tub gardens. Benefits fish by providing shelter from predators and oxygen control. Hardy to zone 5. Plant in full sun or part shade in water 1'-10' deep.

Review: Awesome! - Awesome water plant. Stays completely underwater, and spreads quickly. The water in the dog's pool went from an ugly dark green to perfectly clear!
Review: It's not what you think! - Not what I expected. It came in a plastic bag. All in pieces. There is one tiny piece of a plant and I don't know that you can call it a plant. Lots of dead pieces. In putting it in water to clean it as suggested to clean it for parasites, bugs, etc, I'm so glad I did as that's where it all fell apart and it does have little creatures of different types throughout as you can see in the photos- however, that's why we wash all plants off, it could happen to any plant! The picture is so deceiving, not at all what you get. My axolotl is very sensitive. I'm so glad I put this in a bowl first!

## Features

- Excellent for improving water quality by providing oxygen and removing excess nutrients from pond water.
- Helps to control algae. Can be just dropped into the pond.
- Provides a screen of foliage at bottom of pond to help fish hide from predators.
- Very cold-hardy, overwinters on pond bottom.
- Vigorous grower. Easy to propagate. We recommend 1-2 bunches per square foot of pond surface area.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Update.BUYER BEWARE
*by G***J on September 1, 2018*

This is my second order from this company. The plants are healthy..Come well packed..include 2 anchors that will be in the bottom of the container they come in. Rinse these plants very very well... I did not quarentine these plants.. I give a good look. A good rinse.. A quick wiff..You will get some brown spots. Its to be expected from traveling and all the tempeture changes.. It dont mean their dead.. It means they are in some shock. They will turn green again once you have them settled.. And if all is good.. I clump them together and anchor them in the pond.. My fish love these plants.. They hide and chase each other like 5 year old school kids.. These plants add oxygen.. Helps the clarity of the water . gives the fish a form of shelter from cats.racoons..ect.. Also if the fish spawn..these are great for their little eggs.. I adore my fish and enjoy watching them explore and chase each other through the plants..highly recommend this company and their product.. product.. I have had no problem with snails or any nasty creatures..Shipping in fast and customer service is great.. They answer any question you have! Reviews are everything to me. So im giving you my honest review and hope it can help someone ...If this has helped you in anyway please click below and let me know..Thanks and have a beautiful day.. Well i mentioned above about the brown spots. Its beem 13 days and its all brown. It started to break apart creating a nasty mess. I had to drain my whole pond. (75 gallons).. Im not sure whats going on. But PLEASE Be AWARE Clipping the brown spots did NOT help my plants. I will look elsewhere for plants. It took me 5 hours to clean this pond. I really had better things to do then this. Last pic shows how brown and dead it is. So disappointed!!
