Sagittaria subulata (Sagittaria subulata)
Introduction:
Sagittaria subulata is a versatile, grass-like aquatic plant native to the Americas, commonly used in freshwater aquascaping for its adaptability and sleek appearance. Known for its slender, blade-like leaves, it can serve as a foreground, midground, or even background plant depending on lighting and tank conditions. It spreads by runners, forming lush, green patches that add a sense of natural depth to planted tanks. Delivered in tissue culture format, this Ready to Grow Sagittaria subulata is free from algae, pests, and snails—ideal for establishing a clean, healthy layout.
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28 °C
pH Range: 6.0–8.0
Water Hardness: 3–12 dGH
Nutrient Requirements:
Thrives in nutrient-rich substrates and benefits from root tabs. Liquid fertilization and CO₂ supplementation encourage rapid spreading and greener, more compact growth, though it is not essential in low-tech tanks.
Tank Setup:
Suitable for a wide range of aquascapes. In low light, it remains short and serves as a ground cover. Under high light, it may grow taller, suitable for the background. Prefers soft to moderately hard water and benefits from stable water conditions.
Care Tips:
Rinse the tissue culture gel thoroughly before planting. Plant in small tufts to promote even coverage. Trim runners if you want to control spread, or allow them to grow freely for a more natural appearance. Avoid overshadowing to prevent the plant from growing excessively tall in search of light.
With its clean lines, rapid spreading ability, and adaptability to various tank setups, Sagittaria subulata is a reliable and attractive choice for aquarists. Its pest-free tissue culture form makes it ideal for starting a healthy, algae-free aquascape.
