Formerly known as Echinodorus tenellus "Green", but now listed as Helanthium tenellum "Green": the grass-like green dwarf sword plant is an ideal ground cover plant for the foreground. This rosette-forming plant reproduces by runners (which was the reason it was grouped in the genus Helanthium) and becomes really nice and denseover time.
Unlike other variants of Helanthium tenellum, the "Green" variant remains green under all conditions and does not take on a reddish tinge even under strong lighting.
The bright, intense green and maximum growth height of 10 cm make it a really great choice for the foreground in small, medium and large aquariums. In nano tanks, it can also be placed in the middle ground or used as an accent plant in a very low foreground planting. Grass-like green dwarf sword plant also looks very good as an interplanting between stones, where it grows especially densely.
A nutrient-rich substrate and intense lighting are extremely conducive to turf formation.
Grasslike green dwarf plant grown in vitro in the laboratory is free of unwanted co-inhabitants, fertilizers and pesticides. Carefully rinse off the transparent nutrient liquid and simply add the plants to your aquarium without quarantine - without negative consequences for the stock.
Since Helanthium tenellum "Green" reproduces via runners, it is very easy to form new groups - cut off the runners with sharp scissors, plant them, done. Every now and then the areas need to be thinned out a bit.
Our recommendation: For a splendid plant growth, we recommend the premium nutrient medium when setting up a new plant NatureHolic GroundBooster
