I just bought some Ceratopteris thalictroides in mesh pots (!) at a Big
Al's store in Canada. It came from the Tropica company iirc. Perhaps can
your aquarium store order some for you?

And they can charge 20 times what it's worth. This is, after all,
Washington, DC

You're right there, the water sprite cost much the same as pots of
crypts or swords, either $5 or $10 Cdn for a pot. Probably five. In the
past a store gave me a bagful for $1 Cdn, and I also got it from fellow
aquarists. It's too cold to mail plants from Canada right now, and
mailing's not cheap either.

Still, since it grows so fast when floating, one pot of water sprite may
go a long way.

It ONLY grows floating. I need to qualify that, there's 3 forms, and the
fin leaf form will grow rooted but only with pretty strong light. The
other forms when rooted will rot at the crown and float again.

No Tropica plants in the US. But the water sprite is available mail order.
