How to Care for Hornwort
This aquatic plant can live in a huge temperature range from around 50-85°F (10-30°F), so you can put it in tropical aquariums, cold water tanks with no heater, and outdoor ponds (where they can often survive the winter season depending on your climate). Hornwort grows best as a floating plant, where it has greater access to light and carbon dioxide from the air. Some people like to plant it into the substrate or attach it to hardscape, but because it never grows proper roots, the attached end tends to rot away. Make sure to prune back your hornwort if it starts growing out of control so that it won’t block out the light if you have other plants or limit gas exchange at the surface if you’re keeping fish.

Hornwort tends to prefer gentle flow, so make sure the needles don’t accidentally get sucked up by your filter intake. It can grow under low to high light and does not require carbon dioxide (CO2) injection. Because it grows so quickly, it’s best to use it as a background plant in larger tanks (unless you have the time to constantly trim it).

In the wild, hornwort can form little buds that drop to the ground during the cold season and sprout when the weather warms out. At home, the most common method of propagation is to cut off a side shoot or trim off the top of a tall stem. Any segment of hornwort will quickly become a new plant if you let it float at the surface or plant it in the ground. In fact, one of the easiest ways to get hornwort is to ask around and see if any local hobbyists have some extra trimmings to give away, which they are usually more than happy to share. We do not sell hornwort because it doesn't survive in shipping very well, but we have a whole collection of our favorite beginner plants for you to browse.
