For sale is one plant of Nardoo 'Rainbow' - Marsilea mutica

This water plant is currently growing in a 130mm pot size. It is posted bare/loose rooted and you will need to plant it when you receive it.

Nardoo 'Rainbow' is an Australian Native water plant.  Provides shelter for frogs and fish. 

HEIGHT: 10cm tall with 4 lobed-clover like leaves floating on surface of water varying in color from light green through to rustic brown in color. .

POSITION: Grow in full sun to part shade in the shallow waters around the edges of ponds, dams and wet lands 5-50cm deep.  Can also be grown in decorative water pot with no hole. In a decorative pot, think of them as a potted plant, growing in water, and then you can grow it on your patio, verandah, balcony etc. However a dish/saucer of water is all you need to sit your pot plant in, as long as you make sure there is always water in the saucer.

FROST: Frost hardy as it dies down for winter.  So please note if buying during the Melbourne cold winter, the plant will not look its best.

CARE: Fertilise in spring with one of Triffid Park’s water plant fertilizer tablets to encourage new growth at the start of the growing season.  Then again at the start of summer, and the start of autumn to encourage healthy growth and green foliage.

FERTILISER: Triffid Park's Water Plant Fertiliser Tablets are available on our Water Plant Sundries page.  There are no nutrients in a plastic pond or tub, so these are a definate must when potting your water plants, and for fertilising 3 times per year.

AVAILABLE: Australia wide except for Northern Territory, as we do not have permits to export into the Northern Territory. We do have permits for all other states. Please DO NOT order this plant if you are in the N.T., as we will not send it.

EDIBLE USES:

SPORES can be cooked by grounding into a powder and used like flour. The spores are contained in a sporocarp.

Please research before cooking and eating, as above is a guide line only.

PLANTING INFORMATION: When you receive your water plant, it will come to you bare/loose rooted (not potted).  You can repot water plants at any time of the year. During spring, summer and autumn your water plant will arrive with some leaves.  During the dormant period in winter, it may have no leaves depending on the variety.   If you are planting it in a pond or decorative water bowl, read the minimum and maximum depth requirements on the label.  You will need to pot it into a pot large enough for it to grow, or even a 4 litre ice cream container will do (eat the icecream first!). Use a good quality garden soil i.e. one that you could grow vegetables in is best - do not use potting mix as it can contain pine bark and other composts not suitable for ponds, as they can release the wrong nutrients which then feed algae. When planting your water plant, you want the top of the growing tip to be level with the top of the pot.  Work out how deep you will need to plant your water plant in the pot so the tip is level with the top, then fill the pot with your soil to where the roots would start.  Place one of Triffid Park's Water Plant Fertiliser Tablets on the soil, sit the water plant beside the fertiliser tablet and fill the rest of the pot with your soil to just below the growing tip.  Pat down firmly, then place a layer of small pebbels or gravel around the top to stop the mix floating.  Take care not to cover the growing tip.  If you are planting into a dam or lagoon, plant straight into the base of the dam.  Read the depth information for the water plant and do not plant any deeper than suggested when the dam is at full height or you will drown your water plant. If you cannot get into the dam and dig a hole to plant the water plant, you can use a tent peg to hold it down. Most dams will have enough nutrients to feed your water plants during the growing season, but one of Triffid Park's Water Plant Fertililser Tablets pushed into the root system on planting is a good way to get your water plant established.   Yabbies love new water plant leaves, so if you have yabbies in your dam, you will need to place a fine mesh cage around your water plant.  The mesh needs to be large enough for the new leaves to grow through, but small enough that yabbies cant get through.  Once the water plant is established the yabbies wont be as interested in the older growth. DELIVERY:  All plants are posted by signature on delivery registered mail using Australia Post.  This is so you and I can both be re-assured that the parcel has been posted and the parcel has been delivered.  If you are not home, you will have to collect and sign for it at the post office.  It will not be left at your door. All of our bare/loose rooted plants cost $16 for delivery postage plus $4 for each additional bare/loose rooted plant that you purchase from us.  If this does not show up in Checkout, please let me know and I will alter the invoice before you pay.  However you MUST add items to the shopping cart so it is all in one transaction - DO NOT order each item separately, or we cannot combine postage.
