The Helanthium tenellum ‘Green’ is a versatile, low-growing aquatic plant known for its delicate, grass-like leaves and its ability to form a bright green carpet in aquascapes. Often referred to as “Pygmy Chain Sword,” this plant is perfect for both foreground and midground placement. Grown in-vitro, it is pest-free, algae-free, and ready for immediate introduction into your aquarium.

Key Features:

  • Compact and Spreading Growth: Helanthium tenellum ‘Green’ forms a low, dense carpet when given the right conditions, making it ideal for the foreground or as a midground filler in larger aquariums.
  • Easy to Care For: This hardy plant can adapt to various water conditions and is suitable for both beginners and advanced aquarists.
  • In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant arrives free from pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean and healthy start.
  • Aquascaping Versatility: Its compact growth makes it an excellent choice for aquascapes that require a natural and subtle carpet effect.

Care Requirements:

  • Lighting: Helanthium tenellum ‘Green’ thrives in medium to high lighting. Sufficient light encourages horizontal growth, helping the plant form a dense carpet across the substrate.
  • CO2: Although CO2 is not necessary, adding CO2 will enhance growth speed and density, helping the plant spread more quickly.
  • Water Parameters: This plant is highly adaptable and thrives in a pH range of 5.5-7.5, with temperatures between 20-28°C. Nutrient-rich water and substrate support optimal growth.
  • Trimming: Regular trimming is not required but can be done to control spread and maintain the desired carpet size. Removing older leaves keeps the plant looking fresh and promotes new growth.

Planting Tips:

  • Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting.
  • Divide the plant into small clumps and plant them evenly across the substrate for even growth and faster spreading.
  • Ensure adequate lighting and nutrient-rich substrate to promote healthy growth and the formation of a lush, green carpet.
