AZOLLA CAROLINIANA

Azolla caroliniana

Azolla caroliniana, poetically called "fairy moss", is a floating mini-fern characterized by small, fleshy, bilobed pinnules, covered in fine hairs. These pinnules are arranged on both sides of the stem, in opposite pairs, and give the plant a delicate and almost ethereal appearance. In late summer, its leafy bodies tend to turn red, adding a touch of seasonal color to the aquatic environment.

This fern is particularly suitable for aquariums, where it can be placed in well-lit areas. Thanks to its floating nature, it helps improve the quality of the water by providing shade and protection from excessive sunlight.

Azolla caroliniana lends itself well to both natural ponds and aquariums, enriching the environment with its unique appearance and its ability to float on the surface.
