Helanthium tenellum 'Green' – A Fast-Spreading Grass-Like Carpet Plant for Aquascapes

Helanthium tenellum 'Green', is a hardy, fast-spreading carpeting plant that creates a lush, bright green foreground in planted aquariums. With its thin, grass-like leaves and creeping growth habit, this plant is for aquascapers seeking a low-maintenance, natural-looking carpet.

Fast Growth & Easy Maintenance

Unlike some carpeting plants that require high CO₂ and intense lighting, Helanthium tenellum 'Green' is highly adaptable, thriving in moderate to high lighting and spreading efficiently through runners. While CO₂ injection and nutrient-rich substrate will enhance its growth and encourage a denser carpet, it can also grow well in low-tech setups with regular fertilization.

This plant is known for its fast propagation, quickly covering the substrate and filling empty spaces in the aquarium.
