FAQ

How do I acclimate the Hornwort after delivery?

Remove the plant from its packaging, rinse gently with dechlorinated water, and trim any damaged stems. Place the stems in the aquarium for a few hours to allow temperature and water chemistry to equalize before anchoring or letting them float.

Can Hornwort survive in low‑light tanks?

While Hornwort prefers moderate lighting, it can survive in low‑light environments, though growth may be slower. Ensure adequate water flow and maintain water quality to support its health.

Will the plant shed needles or leaves after introduction?

Yes, it is normal for Hornwort to shed some needles during the initial acclimation period due to shipping stress. This shedding helps the plant adjust to its new environment and does not indicate a problem.

What temperature range is safe for shipping this live plant?

We recommend ordering Hornwort only when daytime temperatures are expected to stay above 30°F (‑1°C). Extreme cold can damage the plant, so check local forecasts before placing an order.

How often should I trim the Hornwort to maintain its shape?

Regular trimming every 2‑3 weeks helps control its size and encourages denser growth. Use clean scissors to cut back excess stems, and remove any yellowed or decaying material to keep the plant healthy.
