Common Name: Dwarf Sagittaria
A common option for a foreground plant that gives your aquascape a subtle sense of depth is dwarf sagittaria. It can reach a height where it can also be a great mid- or background accent. This plant is a fantastic choice for beginners because it requires little maintenance. The plant has a vivid green appearance and resembles broad blades of grass. It can grow either submerged or emersed. An established plant can raise a stem above the water's surface and produce tiny white flowers.
A multitude of circumstances will support the growth of dwarf sagittaria. Although CO2 is not necessary for it to grow, it does so considerably more quickly when it is present. Only a few plants can survive in water that is moderately alkaline and hard. Despite thriving in brighter lighting, dwarf Sagittaria is acceptable with modest lighting. Some crimson tones in the foliage may stand up under bright lighting. The plant may need to be fed with iron and other nutrients if its leaves seem sickly and yellow due to a lack of iron. Dwarf Sagittaria spreads well on its own and, if left unchecked, will grow into a substantial carpet. The plant's runners can be propagated by pinching them off and planting them in the substrate.Β
