Sagittaria subulata

Product description

About the species

Sagittaria subulata from South America is an ideal, undemanding foreground plant whose short runners form a compact group. Place individual plants 2-4 cm apart. This plant can cause problems because under certain conditions it suddenly grows to a height of 50 cm as it gets older.

But if it is then moved to the background, it may become low again. In the aquarium, it sometimes sends a long flower stalk to the surface, and small white flowers unfold just above the surface of the water.

FAQ about Sagittaria subulata

How do I attach Sagittaria subulata?

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.

Does Sagittaria subulata need CO₂?

Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.

How do I keep Sagittaria subulata looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.

Is the moss suitable for a shrimp aquarium?

Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
