where to find Marsilea crenata, water clover?

[ms]

Hi Does anyone know where can I find Marsilea crenata
Water clover?

As I saw that this plant is not light demanding, I intend to plant this in
the shade of my large log wood.

Anyone have experience growing this plant?

Thanks.

I have grown it before. Looks very much like glosso in its submersed form. But it does not grow upwards like glosso.

Not too difficult plant. But after a while when the carpet gets too thick some of the leaves have the tendancy to turn brown.

Thanks for the information. I have glosso on my foreground now, and its growing upwards. Some of them grew up to about 8-9cm!

I am looking at carpeting the back part of my foreground with the Water Clover. Do you know where can I buy these?

Teos has it. Just say you want "shi ge ye" (4 leaves in Mandarin)

they are quite easy to grow...takes a while for the emmerse form to "melt" away before the submerge form grows.....it will creep on the sand and form carpet like look......kinda cool to see a single bubble undr it at times....
