from over 3,000 reviews "Dwarf arrowhead - Sagittaria pusilla
The very tolerant and easy to cultivate Dwarf Arrowhead (Sagittaria pusilla) from America thrives well in all kinds of aquarium species. The arrowhead grows enormously fast. By planting density you can influence the height of growth: When densely planted, the long ribbon-shaped leaves grow up to 60 cm long - they then strongly resemble those of a vallisneria. Densely planted Sagittarias are a magnificent sight in the background! When planted loosely with some space between the arrowhead plants, the growth height is limited to 5-10 cm. Especially in the middle ground this is an advantage. If a long leaf grows out here, it is simply cut off.
The ribbon-shaped leaves of Sagittaria pusilla are medium green. By runners soon beautiful groups are formed. The Flooding Arrowhead likes nutrient-rich water, especially the plant needs a good supply of iron, otherwise the leaves quickly become yellowish pale. Sagittaria pusilla also thrives in low light and without added CO2. In tanks fertilized with CO2, however, it grows even faster.
Its extremely good growth rate and nutrient requirements make Sagittaria pusilla an excellent plant for controlling unwanted algae.
Sagittaria subulata reproduces by runners. Want to thin out the stands: Cut off stolons with sharp scissors and plant elsewhere.
Flooding arrowhead can even flower in the aquarium: Then the plant drives long flower stalks to the water surface, on which white small flowers sit.
Our recommendation: For magnificent plant growth, we recommend the use of the NatureHolic fertilizer series and for new setups the premium nutrient medium NatureHolic GroundBooster.
