Marsilea Hirsuta TC
Marsilea Hirsuta is a dwarf four leaf clover that grows 5 – 20 cm in under water conditions. M. crenata has the smallest leaf width of the three: <= 0.25 inch. The M. minuta is the largest leaf width: <= 0.50 inch. M. crenata tolerates poor lighting much better than the others–still retaining that single-lobe leaf shape whereas the others will start throwing out the multi-lobed leaves (similar to the classic emersed shamrock leaves) that will reach for the surface.
NOTE: with the correct growing conditions, you will see regrowth in less than 3 days.
