Description

YOU'RE BIDDING FOR 10 of Sagittaria Subulata plus SHIPPING $6.50 flat rate for all your order no max. or min. quantity Hardiness: Easy Light Needs: Medium Plant Structure: Rosette Family: Alismataceae Genus: Sagittaria Region: North America Location: Eastern United States Size: Height: 5-15cm (4-6in) Growth Rate: Fast Can Be Grown Emersed: Yes Sagittaria subulata, a marsh plant, is found in the Eastern U.S. and South America in both fresh water and brackish locations. S. subulata is a well-known, popular aquarium plant which is currently cultivated by most major nurseries including Oriental Aquariums, Tropica, and Florida Aquatic Nurseries. Sagittaria subulata is readily available in well-stocked stores listed usually as 'Dwarf Sagittaria'. S. subulata is a fairly easy plant to grow, requiring only moderate light. This plant species can tolerate quite hard, alkaline water conditions. Also, this plant species does well in non-CO2 aquaria, although CO2 injection does greatly enhance growth. Either a rich substrate or rich water column with ample amounts of phosphate, nitrate, potassium, and iron/micronutrients will produce the best results. This plant is especially finicky about iron levels and will show deficiencies with yellowing leaves. Intense lighting will bring out reddish leaf apexes. Planted densely, the 0.5cm wide leaves have the ability to grow to 60cm. Less dense plantings keeps the leaves short, in the 5-10cm range. S. subulata is a fast grower, and as it propagates by runners, it can quickly form a dense carpet. Sometimes, this plant will send long flower stems to the surface which bear small white flowers. The relatively short height of this plant makes S. subulata ideal for foreground or midground locations or in dense plantings. This grassy textured plant can also be accented with other plant species such as Anubias barteri var. nana and Glossostigma elatinoides for contrast and a more natural appearance. If allowed to grow up to 60cm, then it can be used in the background to create vertical strokes in a layout.
