Dwarf Sagitaria subulata - bunch
Dwarf Sagittaria Subulata, also known as Dwarf Sag, is an incredibly popular and easy-to-care-for aquarium plant that's perfect for beginners. It resembles a lush, vibrant green carpet of grass, making it a fantastic choice for foregrounds in aquascapes.
Here's a breakdown of its key features and care requirements:
Scientific Name: Sagittaria subulata
Common Names: Dwarf Sagittaria, Dwarf Sag, Narrow Leaf Sagittaria
Appearance: This plant has narrow, grass-like leaves that are typically bright green. It usually stays relatively short, reaching a height of 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) in aquariums, but can grow taller in lower light conditions.
Care:
- Lighting: Adaptable to a wide range of lighting conditions, from low to high. Brighter light encourages a more compact growth habit.
- Water Parameters: Thrives in a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 and a temperature between 68-82°F (20-28°C).
- Substrate: A nutrient-rich substrate is beneficial. While it can grow in gravel, a finer substrate like sand allows for better root development.
- CO2: CO2 injection is not required but can enhance growth and promote a denser carpet.
- Propagation: Propagates easily through runners. It sends out horizontal stems that develop new plantlets, quickly forming a dense carpet.
Placement: Primarily used as a foreground plant due to its short stature. It can also be used in the mid-ground in smaller aquariums.
