## Description

Azolla filiculoides (Water Velvet) – Species Profile Azolla filiculoides (aka Water Velvet) is a miniscule floating plant. From a distance it can resemble Duckweed (Lemna minor), due to both having tiny leaves, but the plants are unrelated. In fact Azolla are more closely related to Salvinia. Both are floating, aquatic ferns. This fast growing plant will sprout daughter plants from the parent plant, creating mat-like layer of plant material on the water surface. Like Salvinia, its leaves have a fuzzy, velvety look to them. This comes from the many tiny, water repelling hairs that grow on the leaf surface. Unlike Salvinia, Water Velvet does not grow trailing roots. In a warm body of water with bright lighting, A. filiculoides can take on a rusty red color. Care Level: Easy Preferred Water: pH 5.0 to 7.0, Soft Minimum Lighting: Moderate to Bright Temperature: 59°F to 79°F (15°C to 26°C) Leaf Size: Length, 0.75″ to 1.25″ (1.9 cm to 3.2 cm)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will they stay alive? I am shippping to Africa and it will take 5 days before itgets received there.**
A: It will stay alive for 5 days but will take a long time to "bounce back" and will smell really bad. However, you said that  you are shipping "To" Africa, which sounds like it will have to first go to Customs. Customs can take up to 3 months and it would be very dead by then.

**Q: Nowhere in this listing do you say what you are selling (number? Volume?) nor what you live guarantee is (and for that shipping price there better be)**
A: I ship 10-15 plants in one order. Delivery from Europe in working 3 days UPS EXPRESS MAIL

**Q: How are you allowed to send live plants into the USA?**
A: Plants are allowed to be sent from Europe to the United States of America by attaching a phytosanitary certificate for US customs to the parcel.
