Water Sprite (Indian Fern)

Scientific Name: Ceratopteris thalictroides

Common Name: Water Sprite, Indian Fern, Water Hornfern

Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) is a highly adaptable aquatic fern native to tropical and subtropical regions across Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Its finely divided, lace-like fronds contrast with broader-leaved plants, helping replicate the natural textures and sizes of aquatic plants. In blackwater and botanical method aquariums, this species thrives either rooted or free-floating, absorbing excess nutrients and providing refuge for fry and shrimp.

Often described as one of the most forgiving aquatic plants, Water Sprite grows rapidly in a variety of conditions, from shaded low-tech systems to well-lit, CO₂-enriched aquascapes. It plays a valuable ecological role by stabilizing nutrient levels, helping to reduce algae growth, and supporting the microbial community that develops among its fronds.

Many aquarists allow older, slightly browned leaves to remain intact, as they frequently produce small plantlets—a natural propagation process similar to Java Fern. Each mature frond may host multiple young plants that can be separated and replanted to establish new colonies.

Caring for Water Sprite in Blackwater Aquariums

Sold As: Both potted and bare root plants

Care Level: Easy; excellent for beginners

Lighting Requirement: Low–medium; higher light encourages faster vertical growth

CO₂: Not needed

Growth Rate: Fast; capable of filling the midground and surface zone

Tank Placement: Midground–background, or as a floating plant

Native Habitat: Asia and tropics worldwide; found in swampy forests, marshes, and slow-flowing rivers

Tint Tolerance: High; remains vigorous in tinted and humic-rich water conditions

Note: Some leaves may arrive with light browning—these are often fertile fronds carrying developing baby plants. We recommend leaving them attached until the plantlets are large enough to separate and replant.

Great Product that does exactly what it says it will.
Color: Beige, Size: 34"- 3 Panel
I really enjoy this product and it does exactly what it describes. I use it on my balcony. It is effective, but still very lightweight. It is easy to assemble as well. The price point is excellent. Also, I had an interaction with the company about an issue and they were incredibly responsive and helpful, fixing the issue immediately. Highly recommend.

Great WFH screen for video calls
Color: Black, Size: 22"- 4 Panel
I share a workspace with my hubs since we both work from home. I have the attention span of a 🐿️ and need this so I can focus on my work and not get distracted by him, since he is very amusing to watch. This screen is very lightweight and the panels can move and create a little cubicle around your workspace. I personally loved cubicles & despise open space seating, even at home. The ADHDer in my loves being able to block things away from my field of vision. These panels also hide any mess behind you, especially if you forget to blur the background on Teams or Zoom calls or if you don’t have the option to change your backgrounds. This was fairly easy to put together and very easy to move and adjust. The screen is a much better option than a sheet as I’ve seen others use on calls.🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m not sure how it will stand up around rambunctious pets or kids, but fairly certain it takes quite a push to knock it over. We have four cats & I’m pretty sure someone would try to climb this, which is why they’re not allowed in our workspace.
