Sagittaria Subulata Aquatic Farmer Tissue Culture

Plant Profile

Common Name: Dwarf Sagittaria

Dwarf Sagittaria (Sagittaria subulata) brings that fresh‑cut‑lawn energy straight into your tank. This hobby‑favorite foreground plant adds subtle depth to your layout, but it’s versatile enough to stretch into the midground or even background of your aquascape when it’s feeling extra ambitious. Its bright green, wide blades mimic those dreamy riverbank vibes while doubling as a cozy hideout for shrimp and nano fish. It grows happily emersed or submersed, and once it matures, it can even reach the surface and pop out tiny white flowers.

Tissue Culture cups ensure your aquascape gets a super clean starting point. Lab‑grown and fully sterile, it arrives without pests, snails, duckweed, or any unwanted algae. It’s the go‑to option for anyone who wants peace of mind when adding fresh greenery to a carefully maintained setup.

Key Features & Benefits

• A hardy species that easily tolerates hard, alkaline water conditions where other plants might struggle.
  
• Capable of sending up thin runners to the water's surface to produce small, beautiful white flowers.

Care & Planting Instructions

• Ensure you thoroughly wash away or soak off the nutrient gel from the roots with your fingers before dividing and planting.
• Stick to moderate lighting for standard growth, or upgrade to higher lighting to watch it thrive and potentially bring out beautiful red tones in the leaves.
• Supplement with iron and other nutrients if you notice the leaves looking sickly and yellow, as this indicates it isn't getting enough nourishment from the substrate.
• Leave it to its own devices to produce a thick, effortless carpet on its own, or propagate manually by pinching off the plant’s runners and burying them directly back into the substrate.
• Grow it with or without pressurized CO2. It doesn't require it to grow, but adding it will make it carpet much faster.
• Master the prep and planting process by checking out a beginner's guide to tissue culture plants to prevent your delicate new plantlets from melting or floating away.
