Water sprite is an easy-to-grow, aquatic fern with dense foliage that provides excellent shelter for small fish and fry. It can be grown traditionally planted into substrate or used as a floating plant. Water sprite grows fairly quickly when given plenty of nutrients under low to medium lighting. It is often confused with water wisteria because of their complex leaf texture and bright green color. However, water sprite has a more thin, lace-like leaf structure, whereas the leaves of water wisteria are a little more broad and sturdy.

Customer Reviews
I ordered 2x water Sprite and 2x Anubis from Aquarium co-op. I was so amazed when they came. The packing was super nice and none of my plants got damaged. They are healthy. I am very impressed with the quality of the plants and shipping. Will order more from Aquarium co-op in the future.
So it arrived in rather bad shape - the longer stems were broken and it looked a bit bedraggled - but after trimming the broken bits, it's recovering well!
Edited to add that the customer service is truly incredible!! I got a gift card for the value of the plant almost immediately after leaving this review. Phenomenal customer service. Very satisfied with that.
As always
Aquarium co-op has sent me beautiful lively plants they never disappoint
The water sprite I got was just beautiful. Green and full. But all of the stems had been bent and would only stand up when in water. I went ahead and planted in hopes it would put out new growth and I could cut off the bad stems and try starting new plants. Well some jerk in the tank chewed off all the stems but I could see what looked like new growth coming up from the roots so I had hope. The next day even the roots were gone. This is NOT an aquarium co-op problem. It is an evil something in my tank problem. I vote ramshorn snails as they have killed other plants before on me. But I loved the look of this plant so much I plan on getting another one, maybe 2 and try again. I just can't get over how beautiful the plant was when I got it. Aquarium co-op plants are the best!!!
I ordered Water Sprite and crypts. The crypts came in BEAUTIFUL but the water sprite isn’t looking too hot. Lots of broken and brown stems, much of it fell apart in the packaging…still a little greenery here and there so I planted it anyway hoping my substrate system and some fertilizer can revive it? I’m kind of wondering if water sprite maybe just doesn’t ship well? Who knows! Three stars because the packaging was wonderful, the crypts look great, and they sent the most beautiful little rainbow fish sticker as well!
I always love A. Co-op plant orders. Healthy, beautiful plants. So far, I haven't killed this one! ;)
I contacted the store because I wasn’t sure about this plants, my substrate consists of gravel only, the store said this plants would do just fine and so far they are healthy and look beautiful.
Customer service was great. My order was delayed in the mail, and my plant turned to mush. A replacement was sent right away, and arrived without delay. However the plant was not in good shape. It seems to have survived, barely. I think buying plants through mail, in march, may have been a bad idea on my part. The did the best they could
Still growing came in good conditions
Came healthy and adjusted to my aquarium quickly
