Key Features

• Spreads by runners to gradually form a carpet.

Product Description

Create a gently textured foreground with Stoffels Helanthium Tenellus ‘Green’. Commonly called Pygmy Chain Sword, this rosette plant produces fresh green growth and spreads through runners, gradually filling the spaces between individual plants.

Reaching approximately 10cm in height, it creates a slightly taller, more natural carpet than a closely trimmed lawn effect. It is a useful choice for aquarists who want to soften their layout and introduce a meadow-like appearance around rocks and other aquascaping features.

Suitable for tropical aquariums, aquascapes, paludariums, terrariums and vivariums with appropriate conditions, this plant requires medium to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation. The in-vitro format provides clean planting material that can be divided into smaller portions when establishing your display.
