Sagittaria subulata – A Hardy and Versatile Grass-Like Aquarium Plant
Sagittaria subulata, commonly known as Dwarf Sagittaria, is a fast-growing, grass-like aquatic plant that is perfect for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. Its bright green, ribbon-shaped leaves create a lush, natural look, making it an excellent choice for foreground, midground, and background placement in planted tanks. This easy-to-care-for plant thrives in a variety of water conditions, making it a top choice for low-maintenance aquascaping.
Fast-Growing & Low-Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of Sagittaria subulata is its hardiness and adaptability. It grows well in low to high lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation, though additional nutrients and CO₂ will encourage faster growth and denser coverage. It spreads quickly through runners, making it a great carpeting plant or a background filler in larger tanks.
