## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a pond?**
A: Hornwort submerged pond plant is an excellent oxygenating plant for fish ponds. The hornwort plant forms a dense mat and does not develop roots. Like other submerged pond plants, it receives nutrients from the water and helps keep water clear.

**Q: What kind of plant food does hornworts need?**
A: No plant food required if you have fish or other aquatic creatures living in the water. The biological filter will provide nitrogen.

**Q: Will this kill off other aquarium plants as it consumes a lot of nutrients?**
A: Difficult to say since I have no idea of the size of your aquarium or number of fish or number of other plants but it seems unlikely that this plant would kill off other plants.

**Q: Got many white stuffs on leaves—are those gel for shipping purpose? Or what those are and would it melt/disappear over time?**
A: It is calcium carbonate it comes off over time or if you gently rub the leaf it also comes off. Personally I leave it on as it benefits the plant

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong, but stressed
*by U***D on March 18, 2025*

The item/water plant, looks a little stressed, but it had been almost a week. The plant looks a dull olive green and wilted. I place it into my pond and I’m hoping it’ll recover. I gently swirled them around my pond, and no leaves came off, so the plant is still strong - just stressed.Update: one month later, plant has been putting off new lush branches since a week in the pond. I have a good feeling that this plant will help aerate my little lotus pond.Update: three months later and plant is thriving with little if any assistance. In these past 3-4 months, I only twice spread the plant out over the surface of the pond so it could get maximum sunlight, and it’s thriving. New branches are a brighter shade of emerald green.

### ⭐ Thought it would grow, it mostly didn't
*by S***S on July 24, 2024*

Hornwort update: I trimmed the very tops of the stems and floated them for a week or two and now I have maybe 3 or 4 living stems that are still tiny but growing. The whole rest of the plant is dead, shed all the needles into the tank and is melting and making a mess. Other plants seem to be doing okay so far.-------Right up top, I think 4 stars for live plants on Amazon is a good expectation. I purchased 3 different plants in one order from this seller, so I'm going to copy the same review to each item. I'll try to update as things grow in.I ordered Hornwort, Java Moss, and Crypt Parva for a new mini shrimp jar. I placed my order on a Saturday evening and I did choose to pay for faster shipping to ensure they had the best chance. To my surprise, the order was filled and shipped Sunday morning. I just received them Wednesday morning and planted everything. It was in a box with a bubblewrap bag with the plants inside. Everything was intact.I received a tissue culture of something for free with my order, not sure what it is yet. Looks green and healthy, we'll see - I sometimes have bad luck with tissues.The hornwort I'm giving 4 stars. It feels strong, but bristly and it's browner than I would hope. Kind of a messy bundle, but it's okay for me because I chopped it into pretty short stems anyways. I expect the color to improve over time, maybe with some trimming and replanting.The java moss also gets 4 stars. It's java moss. Maybe the clump of moss seemed a little small... but again this was a situation where I really didn't need very much, so it worked out. It looks and feels healthy, and it will grow.The crypt parva gets 5 stars. Looked just as good, if not better, than a plant in a bag would look if I drove to my LFS and bought one. Big and healthy and easy to split into smaller pieces. I was worried the crown might be mushy but it's awesome.Overall, my experience is better than I expected. I'll try to update in a few weeks once things settle in, but based on how they look and feel, it would likely be my fault if they died.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, healthy bunch of Hornwort!
*by T***H on May 22, 2025*

Generous bunch for a low price, possibly the lowest price on Amazon with free Prime shipping. Came much faster than the estimated delivery date. Arrived well packaged, alive and healthy. Had some shedding but the Coontail variety is so lush it didn't show at all. This is a fast grower and can be used as a floating or potted plant so it doesn't need big roots to do well. I secured mine in a mini flower pot with a twist tie. This is a hardy species that can do well without much light so it's a great choice for any aquarium. I'm very happy with my purchase! Thanks!
