Product information
Jumbo shell flower - Pistia stratiotes
In addition to its function as a filtering plant, the mussel flower convinces as a hiding place for the inhabitants of the tank. They find protection from predators under its leaves, which makes the animals in the tank more stress-free and thus healthier. Its shade serves as a welcome resting place for them. The mussel flower can be used in ponds of various sizes without any problems. If you like, you can use floating barriers to limit its expansion to one area. - Garnelio
Description

Jumbo conch flower - Pistia stratiotes - ca. 20cm

From the tropical and subtropical freshwater waters of the earth comes the mussel flower Pistia stratiotes, which also has the nickname water lettuce. This nickname is explained by its appearance. The strong, felt-like leaves with their distinctive grooves are indeed reminiscent of lettuce leaves. The ornamental plant is popular in ponds and is also used for aquariums. Its beautiful appearance is only one of the reasons for this. For experienced pond lovers, its positive effect on water quality is particularly decisive.

A useful helper in the garden pond

The mussel flower thrives especially in garden ponds that have a sunny to semi-shady location. The roots of the beautiful ornamental plant extract nutrients from the pond water. Since the plant requires a large amount of nutrients, it has a real filtering effect. It reliably filters excess nitrates, suspended matter and remains of fish food from the water. It utilizes all these substances for lush growth. This in turn results in clearer pond water and a reduction in the formation of algae.

Jumbo shell flower - Pistia stratiotes

Question: "Was ist der Unterschied zwischen den Produkten "Jumbo Muschelblume" und der "Garnelio Muschelblume"? Beide sind als Pistia stratiotes bezeichnet. Soll die Jumbo-Variante eine bereits 20 cm große Pflanze sein (und entsprechend der höhere Preis) während die günstigere Variante noch kleiner ist? Oder unterscheiden sich die beiden, trotz gleicher Artbezeichnung, in der Endgröße? "

Hallo Sandra, vielen Dank für deine Frage! Es handelt sich um die gleiche Pflanze, die Jumbopflanzen sind um die 20cm groß. Die "normale" Muschelblume hat meist einen Durchmesser von 4-5cm. Natürlich wächst auch diese auf bis zu 25cm heran.

Question: "Muss ich die Pflanze in einen Topf Pflanzen und dann in den Teich stellen oder einfach ins Wasser schmeissen "

Hallo Funda, vielen Dank für deine Frage! Schwimmpflanzen brauchen nicht gepflanzt zu werden, sie treiben auf der Oberfläche.
