⭐ What You’re Getting

Live Azolla, a small floating aquatic fern known for its rapid growth and natural ability to fix nitrogen from the air.
It forms soft green mats on the water surface and grows well in fish tanks, ponds, tubs, eco-pools, and DIY growing systems.

Under good conditions, Azolla can:

• Double its biomass every 3–5 days
• Improve nutrient balance in water
• Produce dense, useful green biomass in very little space

🌱 Why Azolla Is Useful

✔ Great for Aquarium Hobbyists
Helps absorb excess nutrients, provides surface cover, and can be grazed by fish. Suitable for outdoor tanks, tubs, and many pond-style aquariums.

✔ Natural Nitrogen Booster
Azolla fixes nitrogen naturally, making it ideal for regenerative systems, composting, and soil building.

✔ High-Protein Live Feed
Typically 20–30% protein (dry weight). Commonly used as a supplement for:
• Ducks & chickens
• Tilapia, koi & goldfish
• Compost worms & insect larvae

✔ Helps Reduce Algae
By shading the water surface and competing for nutrients, Azolla naturally suppresses algae growth.

✔ Low Maintenance
No soil, no fertiliser. It floats, grows, and keeps reproducing with minimal effort.

🌎 Why I Grow It

I grow Azolla as part of small-scale regenerative systems focused on clean water, nutrient cycling, and high output in small spaces.
It’s the same principle behind the modular eco-tower systems I’m developing — simple biology doing useful work.

💧 Transport & Packaging

• Please bring your own waterproof container for transporting the plants.

• If needed, I can supply suitable packaging for an additional R10 per 250 ml portion
