Echinodorus tenellus ‘Pygmy Chain Sword’ Tissue Culture Aquarium Plant

CO2 Requirement:

Medium to High. Benefits significantly from CO2 supplementation, promoting denser growth and richer coloration.

Light Requirements:

High. Requires strong lighting to maintain its compact, carpeting growth form and vibrant color.

Placement in Aquarium:

Foreground. Perfect for creating a lush, carpet-like effect in the front of the aquarium due to its small size and spreading growth habit.

Height:

2-5 cm. Remains low to the ground, making it an ideal foreground carpeting plant.

Width:

Can spread widely, covering the substrate with a dense carpet, especially in well-lit and well-fertilized conditions.

Type of Growing:

Creeping. Spreads via runners, creating a dense, carpet-like mat over the substrate. Requires trimming to maintain a neat appearance.
