Giant Sensitive Plant! (Neptunia Aquatica)-Live Aquatic Marginal Starter Plant for Water Gardens, Ponds and Aquascapes
The Sensitive Plant, scientifically known as Neptunia aquatica, is an aquatic, perennial herb notable for its delicate and intriguing response to touch. Native to tropical regions, this plant thrives in wet, marshy environments and shallow waters. It features feathery, bipinnate leaves that exhibit rapid movement when disturbed, folding inward in a defensive reaction to physical stimuli. Neptunia aquatica not only fascinates botanists and plant enthusiasts with its sensitive movements but also plays an important ecological role in its native habitats, contributing to water purification and providing habitat for aquatic organisms.

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in-vitro aka tissue culture/lab grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
