Ranunculus inundatus is an aquatic plant species that is found in many parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, and Australia. It is commonly known as the river buttercup or water crowfoot and is a popular choice for aquariums and water gardens.
Ranunculus inundatus has finely divided, thread-like leaves that are bright green in color and can grow up to 18 inches (45 cm) in length. It produces small yellow flowers on stems that rise above the water’s surface. This plant can grow either partially or fully submerged and will spread rapidly by sending out runners.
In the aquarium, Ranunculus inundatus can be planted in the substrate or allowed to float freely. It prefers moderate to high lighting and a neutral to slightly alkaline pH range of 6.5-8.0. It is a fast-growing plant that will require regular pruning to prevent it from becoming too overgrown.
Ranunculus inundatus is known for its ability to provide shelter and hiding places for fish and other aquatic creatures. It is also a popular choice for aquascaping, and can be used to create striking vertical elements in the design. Additionally, this plant is used in the horticultural industry as a decorative plant for water features and ponds.
