Salvinia natans care

[Matt Warner]

Hi, I have just acquired some salvinia natans. Are there any specific needs for this plant to grow well? I had some amazon frogbit before and it never seemed to grow well, the leaves kept turning to mush and falling off. Is salvinia a lot easier and faster growing?
Thanks

It grows silly quick in my tank, the only problem I've ever had is getting the top of it wet it just melts from the light after but other than that doesn't need any help growing. I can clear half of the stuff away one weekend and by the following week it's covered the top of my tank again.

That's good to know thanks mate. Hopefully it will grow better than the frogit I had
