🌱 Introduction to Parrot’s Feather

Myriophyllum aquaticum, commonly known as Parrot’s Feather, is a popular aquatic plant admired for its fast growth and attractive, feathery foliage. Native to freshwater rivers and streams in South America, it thrives in tropical wetlands, slow-moving rivers, and flooded rice fields.

This versatile plant can grow fully submerged in aquariums or with the top part emerging above the water's surface. In submerged conditions, it produces delicate, finely lobed leaves, while in emersed growth, its leaves become broader and thicker.

🌟 Why Choose Parrot’s Feather?

1

Fast Growth
Parrot’s Feather is a rapid grower, making it effective in absorbing excess nutrients and helping to control algae growth in your aquarium.

2

Versatile Placement
It can be planted in the background or midground of your aquarium and also works well as a floating plant, providing shade for certain fish and fry.

3

Easy Propagation
Propagation is simple; cuttings can be replanted in the substrate. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and helps maintain the desired shape.

4

Algae Control
As a fast-growing plant, Parrot’s Feather can help with algae control by outcompeting algae for nutrients.
