10 Pack Hornwort Bunches — Live Freshwater Aquarium Plant

Transform your freshwater aquarium with this generous 10-pack of Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) bunches – the ultimate value pack for filling large tanks, establishing new setups, or creating a dense, lush planted background in one order.

Hornwort is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly live aquarium plants in the hobby. Known for its feathery, bright green foliage and rapid vertical growth, it adds instant height, texture, and natural beauty to any freshwater tank. Each bunch ships as a cluster of healthy stems ready to be separated and planted throughout your aquarium or left floating for surface cover.

This 10-pack provides enough coverage for tanks up to 75 gallons – perfect for aquascapers who want full background density from day one without waiting weeks for individual bunches to propagate.

Key Features

Hardy & Beginner-Friendly:
Tolerates a wide range of water conditions and adapts well to new aquariums, making it an excellent choice for first-time plant keepers. One of the most forgiving species in the hobby.

Impressive Background Height:
Grows tall enough to create a stunning natural backdrop and visual depth in medium to large aquarium setups. Can reach 24+ inches under optimal conditions.

Natural Water Purifier:
Hornwort is an excellent oxygenator that actively absorbs nitrates, ammonia, and phosphates – helping maintain crystal-clear, healthy water for your fish and shrimp.

Easy Propagation:
Trim and replant stem cuttings to fill more of your tank – a cost-effective way to expand your plant collection from this single purchase.

Low Light Compatible:
Performs well under low to moderate lighting, making it suitable for aquariums without high-output fixtures or CO2 injection systems.

Versatile Placement:
Plant in substrate for an anchored background wall or float at the surface for natural cover. Works beautifully either way.

Care Instructions

Lighting:
Thrives under low to moderate lighting conditions. Can tolerate higher light but does not require high-output fixtures.

Water Conditions:
Temperature: 59-86°F
pH: 6.0-7.5

Substrate & Planting:
Plant stems directly into substrate, spaced to allow light penetration between bunches. Can also be left floating for surface cover. For the densest background, plant bunches 2-3 inches apart in a row along the back wall.

CO₂ & Fertilization:
CO₂ supplementation is not required. Liquid fertilizers and root tabs can support healthy growth but are optional for this hardy species.

Maintenance:
Trim regularly to control growth and maintain desired shape. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves promptly. Hornwort grows fast – expect to trim every 1-2 weeks under moderate light.
