Salvinia Minima

You can simply let the plant float. Carefully place the Salvinia minima on the water's surface. Make sure the plant has enough room to float and spread out, as this floating plant grows outward.

If you want to ensure your Salvinia minima floats in a specific spot, you can use a floating plant ring. This ring helps keep the plant in place while still allowing it to float and develop. You can learn more about it in our article.making a floating plant ring >

With this approach you can effectively place this floating plant in your aquarium, which not only creates a natural look, but also helps the plant to improve the water values.

Removing Salvinia minima is a simple way to control the growth of this floating plant. Because it can grow vigorously, it's important to remove it regularly to prevent it from covering the water surface too much and depriving other plants in the aquarium of light and nutrients.

You can easily scoop the plant from the water's surface with your hand or a net. This allows you to easily remove the excess plant without damaging the rest of your aquarium.

This approach prevents Salvinia minima from taking up too much space and ensures that it continues to make a positive contribution to water quality without overwhelming other plants.
